UGOOS UT3/UT3S/UM3 Bootable Linux SD Card Images Released

If you own a UGOOS UT3, UT3S or UM3, the images can be flashed either using Linux via the DD command (sudo dd if=<path_to_img_file> of=<path_to_sdcard>) or on Windows using Win32DiskImager.
I’ll be burning the image to an SD card shortly to test out Linux on my UGOOS UT3S so keep posted.
