I bought Carolyn a small Netbook which tells me it's a WonderMedia WM8650.

I decided to put UBUNTU on it. So I burnt an ISO to an SD card with "Startup Disk Creator."
Al's well - it boots. But the WonderMedia Netbook does not boot from it and as the
WonderMedia has no BIOS I am at a loss as to what to do.

That's because it's based on an ARM9 processor, not x86/64. The EFI
(which also contains the OS) is embedded in the processor core, in
an EEPROM. You need not an ISO image, but an EEPROM image. This also
contains what would be equivalent to BIOS/EFI information. It all
harks back to the days of Windows Portable/CE, where the entire user
interface and app package is contained in a single ROM image of
about 40MB of data.<br>

Any ideas?
On a more happy not I get delivery of my Triumph Bonneville T100 865cc in April it's Cherry
and Cream in colour so I'm really excited!!!!!!
But it's the WonderMedia that vexes!!
