For my application I don't really care about GPS or Cellular functionality, where can I obtain a build of Ubuntu 24 for the Tachyon?

Along with others, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of response from the Particle team regarding issues posted here by the community in the last 10 days or more. I’m not sure if this is a deliberate change in openness. However, it’s very unlike Particle and their mission to be transparent to their value…

If you are in a hurdle an need a tip regarding another device from another vendor with the similar features set just let me know that i will PM you the device i’m using, i can confirm you that has out of the box opengl and vulkan working and i can drop by any test you need it has the same spec only …

So… it is almost 12 weeks later. I know Tachyon is for Particle serious business. So is it for some of us and after having to rely on alternatives for half a year already i am pretty soon dumping tachyon altogether for further development. It is really a joke that a decent hardware as this has suc…

Hi DC25, that would be very helpful! I don’t know how to PM you on this platform.

@pzhine sure check your notifications i sent you the one I'm using right now.

Granted that there are several other QCS6490 SoC devices in a Raspberry Pi compatible format, and I expect that there will be quite a few more down the line. However, none of them currently support integrated cellular 5G and a great cloud connectivity solution. From a board design perspective, it’s…

LOL let me laugh when even quectel provides one with a 5g modem on top of a QCS6490. I will believe when it is released something useful right now Tachyon is just a headless device with a hacked kernel, android bootloader and old unsupported ubuntu distribution.

Kind of worried at the lack of response by Particle. It’s been a whole month since we have gotten any updates on this and originally we were told we would get an update the next day. Right now Tachyon isn’t really usable between display issues and the old Ubuntu build.

This appears to be a repeating trend, there are multiple threads on this forum with “we’ll get back to you in x” and no follow up, or follow ups way outside of x.

Expected availability of Ubuntu 24 build
