On the issues of getting Debian Stretch working on the BBB, it turns out there are "issues" but, thankfully, Debian Buster works. Thanks to Bob Mottram (of FreedomBone https://freedombone.net/) for this information. You do need to use uboot / uEnv.txt values different to the vmdebootstrap example, particularly: loadaddr=0x82000000 initrd_addr=0x88080000 fdtaddr=0x88000000 Since Debian Buster is soon to be released then it is best to develop on this anyway. Do note that vmdebootstrap is not going to be in Buster (and beyond) so consider moving to an alternative. The FSF have an article on "Single-board computers" (like the BBB): https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/single-board-computers (Thanks to Bob Ham for this link.) Our next meeting is Tuesday, 21st May (the 3rd Tuesday of the month as usual).
