The software for Fusion-HAT+ is not compatible with Ubuntu and cannot be installed or operated on that system. It is only supported for installation and operation on Raspberry Pi OS. ---

I was able to figure out the problem with Ubuntu 24.04 and successfully built the fusion-hat driver and installed the fusion-hat library. Soundcard installation was also problematic but found a solution and this also seems to work. So far I have tested a handful of examples from the fusion-hat library and can say I have successfully tested with motors, servo\_sweep, adc\_read\_test, device\_info, espeak tts and piper tts. Have not tested GPIO or llm’s yet. I can also report that the FUSION-HAT+ powers the pi 5 nicely and overall the performance is better than robot-hat V4 on a pi 5 running Ubuntu If anyone is interested, I am happy to post the steps I used to install fusion-hat on a raspberry pi 5 running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which can also run ROS2 Jazzy natively ---

For those that might be interested, trying to build the fusion-hat C kernel module from the install script, failed due to Make error 2 . This usually refers to missing Linux kernel headers required to build the module. To build the module on Ubuntu on raspberry pi 5: ### Re-Install missing headers: ```auto sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) ``` - then run install script again ```auto curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunfounder/sunfounder-installer-scripts/main/install-fusion-hat.sh | sudo bash ``` If people run into any other issues, I have resolved some when installing robot-HAT v4 on the same pi5 running Ubuntu 24.04. Post any problems and I probably have an answer to it ---
