[quote]I think it is a mistake to use a non-LTS Ubuntu release, which is why I'm working on 18.04.[quote]
The limit is to have a NON-HDMI FPGA setting for this release.

Hi claudio4parallela and ajtravis,
Hope you are all healthy and safe these COVID days...
I've had my boards (desktop hdmi w/z7010) for several years, but I'm just getting around to setting up a 4-board cluster and would prefer to use the e-links via Porcupine adapters. I've read the earlier comments concerning all the issues with compatibility between the OS and ESDK, so because it's been a while since the last posting I'm wondering:
1. is there now a recent OS (at least 18.04) and ESDK combination that provides functional e-links? And if so, is there any rebuilding required? I'm assuming that the OS would be headless...
2. if a recent OS + ESDK combination is still unknown at the moment, what would be the next oldest releases to use? I'm assuming that the OS would be headless here too...
2. it's not a huge deal, but is it possible for an hdmi OS and appropriate ESDK to have functional e-links? And if so, what rebuilding if any is required?
I've been looking through the forum categories and all the Git repos including Supercores to get myself up to speed, but any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
Thx,
Ross

Hi Tony,
I haven't had my vaccination yet - they are rolling out by age-group in Vancouver, Canada so for me that means probably in the next few months...
I've received a couple of porcupine boards and the ribbon cable and connectors for the e-links, so I'll be working on getting things put together and tested shortly.
I'll post again with my results.
Cheers,
Ross
