This repository contains the official Ubuntu Core gadget snap for the Raspberry Pi 3.
Gadget snaps are a special type of snaps that contain device specific support code and data. You can read more about them in the snapd wiki https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/wiki/Gadget-snap
Please report all issues on the Launchpad project page https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-pi3/+filebug
We use Launchpad to track issues as this allows us to coordinate multiple projects better than what is available with Github issues.
To build the gadget snap locally please use snapcraft. This repository will
be soon updated to support snapcraft natively, via a snapcraft.yaml file,
stay tuned!
In case you need to rebuild u-boot, the steps are
