The precise reason why I wish to use the console image is because I needed the small footprint to minimise the attack interface. I have built up my own BBB image on top of the console image. The IoT image does not meet my requirements as it requires substantial effort to strip down.
Does anybody have any idea if there are stable releases of the console image, or are there just periodic snapshots? --Luther On Thursday, March 16, 2017 7:54 PM, Greg <[email protected]> wrote: The console image is minimalist. It doesn't have application software like servers already installed. This is good if you are developing a board for some security application where the "attack surface" should be minimalized. You will find that you need to install basic stuff like git. Console is not the best starting place for a beginner. Go with the IOT. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
