I wouldn't say abandoned. If there are things you need fixed, it is still possible for us to make bug fixes in the image. Also, I haven't heard anything from Koen that says Angstrom won't continue or won't continue to support all the Beagles. It is true he's not being paid by CircuitCo to work on Angstrom for Beagle anymore. > > If this is the case, and seems to be the case as there hasnt been an update > for the Angstrom image for the BBB for quite some time, and there are still > a number of issues with LCD CAPES which have not yet been resolved... Not an official release, but I just checked the site and saw new image builds as recent as Jan 3. > > What is the 'new' standard distribution for the BBB going to be now? We are working with Robert Nelson's Debian images to try to produce an out-of-box experience on par with the Angstrom images. Once we have a few more features in, namely an updated Cloud9 IDE that works with node 0.10, then we'll push out a beta image broadly for testing. You can already grab Debian test images today. The script to build the image is at https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder. > > Us LCD CAPE users are having a hard time getting touch working reliably for > a wide range of LCD Capes on the market.

The LCD Cape vendors should push support for their hardware into https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel and https://github.com/beagleboard/cape-firmware. CircuitCo does so.
