Hi Mauricio,

Rather than the wiki, I'd suggest to check out the porting guide pages on
the developer site, in particular:

https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/#dev-setup

I set up the wiki page to redirect to the site to make sure there is only
one set of information now.

Cheers,
David.
