Michael, I just got a BBBlue and would like to install Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) since ROS Kinetic seems to support pre-built armhf libraries for it and I want to try out some specific ROS examples without having to build ROS from source. I've tried using the Ubuntu images from eewiki(dot)net (https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Blue), but when I boot the Blue with one of them I cannot connect to it over the USB-to-Ethernet connection like I can with the standard pre-loaded Debian image. Was there anything special you had to do to make Ubuntu work on your board? Any pointers/lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
