Steps to build ubuntu core image #6

Hi, I'm totally NOOB about building ubuntu core16.04 image for arm64. Perhaps if you don't mind to share steps to build the OS image for nanopi-a64. I did read longsleep's linux-pin64 and build-pine64-image repos but I'm still lost. But perhaps, you could show the right way.

I see you want to use it as headless (no Desktop). Ubuntu core has not received "updates" lately. I suggest you try ubuntu-minimal where you have LTS. As for the build process i used a mix of things, it is a tedious process and need some experience in the process and in fact is based on longsleep's steps. For a beginner i would suggest the Armbian build that is focusing on modern kernel, Armbian has the tools (from start to finish) and automate the whole process and someone there is working to bring mainline kernel to nanopi a64.

You can learn the basics there and follow the WiP. I will try to build ubuntu-minimal.
