You will need to use a terminal application to use SSH. SSH is used to remotely connect to Ubuntu (or Linux in general) to allow you to run terminal commands.

You can then install the MicroSD card and connect up the Ethernet cable and power adapter to the Pi. I placed a bit of electric tape over the RTC module as it was going into an aluminium case which it shouldn't come into to contact with but I figured it's better safe than sorry. For my RTC module, I needed to install it onto pins 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 but yours might be different. You can then proceed to install the module onto the GPIO pins on the Pi. You should be able to find this by looking at the text on the module or you can find it from the vendors description from where you bought it, which might be easier.

To begin with, you will need to check which chipset is on your RTC module. This should have 64-bit listed under the title. When you get to step 2, instead of selecting Raspberry Pi OS, go to Other general purpose OS > Ubuntu > Ubuntu Server 20.04.4 LTS (RPI 3/4/400).

Ubuntu Server 20.04 64-bit for Raspberry Pi (downloaded via the Raspberry Pi Imager).įirst, download the Raspberry Pi Imager application for your operating system and install it.įor a step-by-step guide on how to image the MicroSD card with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, follow the steps in the YouTube video below.Here is the equipment / software I used for this little project: I managed to figure out what was causing it, after many hours of troubleshooting and as a result I decided to write this article (my first one ever) to cover the setup and configuration. Well, for 98% of it, the setup was the same, but there was one part of the setup that was different which made it so that when I would reboot the Pi, the module could not be detected.

No real issue, it can't be that different for Ubuntu, right? I was able to find a few guides on how to do it but there was a problem all of the guides were for Raspbian OS. Recently, I was looking to setup a Raspberry Pi 4 Server that would run Ubuntu Server 20.04 (latest available at the time) and I wanted to add an RTC (Real Time Clock) module to it as I would be running a PostgreSQL database that would be storing date and time values in some of the tables.Īs a result, I picked up an RTC module from eBay for a few pounds and proceeded to install it.
