That series shipped with Angstrom as the OS, which hasn't been used in ages. The Debian IoT image requires a 4GB eMMC to install. There IS a Debian Console image that may fit in 2GB -- but as the name implies, it is a very minimal feature set (LXQT images have X-Window desktops, IoT have lots of stuff except the desktop; I'd hope Console has networking at least <G>). https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2021-01-18/ > >What I have achieved.

The board will load u-boot from eMMC, u-boot will detect an inserted SD card and load device trees and kernel image from the SD card, and make the SD card the primary file system. -- Dennis L Bieber -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
