With the stock firmware and software, developers couldn’t modify their AWS DeepRacer devices to use the latest operating systems. Now, developers can upgrade or install a custom operating system (OS) by using a newly released bootloader, which extends the life of these hardware devices.
AWS DeepRacer devices are fully autonomous 1/18th scale race cars driven by models trained through reinforcement learning. These hardware devices, when paired with a cloud environment for training and evaluation of neural network models, provide an education and development environment intended to help developers get started with machine learning. As shipped, secure firmware on the AWS DeepRacer devices boots AWS-signed operating systems, including versions of Ubuntu 16.04 and 20.04. These versions of Ubuntu are no longer supported, making ongoing experimentation and research difficult. To keep these devices useful as long as possible, you need a way to authorize custom and modified software to run.
