You can use Gnome Disks app to restore img.xz onto the SD card
Alternatively you can use xz -d to decompress, and then dd to copy the image to the SD card
Connect serial console to the board
FTDI adapter for serial console (pinout available here: https://popolon.org/depots/RISC-V/D1/LicheeRV/dl.sipeed.com/Lichee_RV_Do...)
Connect to the serial console

Make sure licheerv-rtl8723ds-dkms is installed, otherwise, install it:
$ sudo apt install licheerv-rtl8723ds-dkms
It will take quite some time to build, the output of the above command should look like this:.
Preparing to unpack licheerv-rtl8723ds-dkms

Perform Wifi testing
You should see a wlan0 interface by typing:
$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group defaul0
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

link/ether 34:20:03:2a:0d:0c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Try to connect to local network by using the following netplan configuration file saved at /etc/netplan/wifi.yaml
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
wifis:
wlan0:
dhcp4: yes
dhcp6: yes
access-points:
"YOUR_SSID":
password: "YOUR_PASSWORD"
And then type:
$ sudo netplan apply
You should connect successfully to your local network in a few seconds
