A few weeks ago, I was using the image I found at https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-02-12/
Today, I found that the image has disappeared, which was not totally unexpected. Since it is supposed to be a snapshot. My question: is there a stable console image that we can refer to that won't disappear the next day that we try to download it? Thanks. --Luther On Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at 3:43:08 AM UTC+8, Graham wrote: > > Luther: > > Take these as general answers, the people who build the images would have > to answer detailed questions, about exactly what is included in each type > of image. > > The standard image has everything in it to drive a local display screen > via the HDMI or LCD connections, and multiple application and language > support. > It fills most of a 4 GB memory space. > > The IoT image is intended for applications that do not drive a local > display screen, but include all other applications and language support of > the standard image. > It expects to interact with the outside world via Ethernet, or Ethernet > over USB or WiFi. > The IoT image is about half the size of the standard image. > > The console image is a minimum implementation, but with SSH and local > console command-line support. > It is about one fourth the size of the standard image. > If you are doing a focused application, and are comfortable using the > command-line you can easily add almost any required application or language > support using apt-get. > This will get you a much smaller focused application. > > I would expect that the console image of the same release date as a full > image release would be considered a stable or "release" version of the > console image. > > --- Graham > > === > > On Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 3:15:04 AM UTC-6, Luther Goh Lu Feng > wrote: >> >> I attempted to find a minimal console image and found the IoT image on >> the latest firmware images page[1].
