Intel Aero Ready to Fly drone

[ICarr1]

Hi, I'm new using th Intel RTF drone and I have lots of doubts, but let's start for the first one. As we know RTF drone have already a OS (Yocto) preinstalled, but if I decide to install Ubuntu on it, Will it still flying?? I mean, Does it losses the RTF configuration?? or Do I have to make some changes before installing Ubuntu?? Hope for your support. Thanks.

Hi ivanalexo,

Thank you for your interest in the Intel Aero drone. If you choose to install Ubuntu, then you will have to re-calibrate the drone. You can find instructions in the link below. Let me know if you have more questions. https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/90-(References)-OS-user-InstallationRegards,Alexandra
