Install
The installation process requires a Linux box (or a VM) and is not necessary to resize the SD card (any size).
The minimum sd card size possible to be flashed is 4 GB. 8 GB is recommended if you will install dev tools.
Download the files, make the install script with exec permissions and run with sudo
Find the device name when you insert the sd card, careful not to pass your current HDD device, it will be erased.
- if you have a USB card reader it will be like /dev/sdX where X is a letter (b,c,d...),
- if you have an embedded sd card reader like those in the notebooks it will be something like /dev/mmcblkY where Y is a number (1,2,3...)
Finding device name
use dmesg|tail after inserting the SD CARD:

[358841.532920] EXT4-fs (sdd2): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: (null)
Flashing
sudo chmod +x ./flash_mainline_sdcardx.sh
sudo ./flash_mainline_sdcardx.sh /dev/sdX (where X is the letter found above as an example)
Before you boot
Network configuration is done by the /etc/network/interfaces, edit the file and uncomment the ### for the enp1s0 interface.
Update with your IP, gateway, etc...
This is not required, you can log in first time with ssh and use mcedit to change the /etc/network/interfaces file content and reboot
First login
Use the WAN interface on the first time to ssh to the board. user and password: ubuntu / ubuntu
Obs: mcedit is a nice file editor
