In case anyone else is attempting to install on Ubuntu 20.04, here are a few solutions to problems you'll encounter.

  1. rfkill isn't installed, which is easy to remedy. 
    sudo apt-get install rfkill
  2. The default user isn't named 'pi', which causes errors with the install script. Can be fixed by following this guide: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/04/how-to-change-username-on-ubuntu-debian.html
  3. A few file paths are different, which require you to clone the BlueOS repository locally and make necessary changes.
    • The path in line 16 of bcm_27xx.sh should be changed to: 
      /boot/firmware/overlays/$DTS_NAME.dtbo
    • And line 67 to: 
      /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
    • And finally the paths in lines 161 and 163 in the install.sh script should both be changed to: 
      /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

I ended up opting to use 64-bit RaspiOS for my application, so there may be more issues than are listed here, but this might at least shave an hour or two off of your troubleshooting.

BlueOS is open source, and extendable to other systems - the best approach for this kind of thing is to do the modifications with checks to a variable (presumably $ARCHITECTURE in this case) as relevant, so that it chooses the correct code to execute for the system in use.

https://github.com/bluerobotics/BlueOS?tab=readme-ov-file#deveompment-environment helps a lot with that. If the users adds the necessary binds and enable wifi, cable guy and commander, it may work.

I've tried installing BlueOS on a Raspberry Pi 4B running Ubuntu 24.04. The docker container doesn't start on boot, but after starting it manually it sets up the network configuration correctly and I can access the web dashboard. The frontend shows a series of 502 error responses in the notifications tray. Do you have any idea what changes would be required to fully support Ubuntu @patrickelectric ?
