I second that. I am one of those who just started going west into the wild. And I am still not sure which information are official and which are not. However I am now sure that I didn't grab Robert's kernel. A pitty, for I would have speared a lot of time.

Where do you want to see those type of faq's listed? I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where... I don't know where they should be stored, but there should definitely be links on the beagleboard.org main page. It seems to me that if Debian is going to replace Angstrom, then a link to the Debian release images and FAQs should be put there. Eventually, the Angstrom info could be deprecated, or rather archived and its visibility reduced. It seems to me that there are currently too many places to go to get the various linux distributions and kernels, and none of them seem to be officially sanctioned as the standard release. This leads to unnecessary confusion for new users. Some info on beagleboard.org, some info at circuitco.com, some info at elinux.org, some info at armhf.com, etc., not to mention all the other stuff at ti.com. The official wiki at http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Software_Resourcesdoesn't even mention this Debian releases (and it should if you want people to test it). The community wiki at http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Community#Debian does list a Debian release, but it is a different, and incompatible, arm EABI version from this new armhf release. I appreciate all the hard work that people have done to prepare all this information, but it's a little like the wild west when you first start looking around.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
Hello Robert, thanks for your advice. I deleted the man pages and some other stuff. It helped. Now I have about 15 % available. Great. I noticed, that most of the non-critical packages (from: Reduce Debian) were already missing. But bare with me, I'm not a Linux Guru like you. I reformatted the sd card using a script that I found: mkcard.sh found in an Angstrom discussion. It created: Device Boot Start End #cyls#blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 0+ 8 9- 72261c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk0p2 9 965 9577687102+ 83 Linux And I found the mmcblk0p2 partition named rootfs with a Lost and found directory. My uEnv.txt (found in an Angstrom-discussion) looks like: bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 I didn't find the vriable uenvcmd. Perhaps there is something missing in the uEnv.txt. The I create on rootfs a directory and an fstab file? And write ? And should I create the home etc. directories in that partition? Sorry for bothering you again. Next time we meet , the bottle of wine is on me.

Robert, that was a fast one. Thanks again - discussions in other groups can sometimes lead you to nowhere and you get lost. (There was written that the uEnv.txt was mandatory) So I will not use your 64 MB image. Sorry, I am happy that this one is running.

And since it uses uuid's instead of the raw partition name, it'll always find the rootfs partition no matter what. So just blank/format your microSD as a simple ext4 partition.

[beagleboard] Problems installing WSPR and RTL-SDR on Beaglebone Debian
Hello, After trying Angstrom, Ubuntu, Debian, Angstrom I decided to install Debian on the emmc. No problem. FLdigi and several other amateur radio programs are running fine. The main reason for the BBB was a WSPR monitor. So I got the sources installed the depending libraries, made configure and everything went well: creating Makefile, ... Installing: ..., but in the directory was no make file. Same problem with RTL-SDR, configuration went without complaints, but no make file. I can't open the py-file due to missing files. I ran this also as root and both sources compile fine on other machines. Debian wheezy 7.4 / 3.8.13-bone40 / Xfce. Any pointers? Thanks in advance for your help. 73 de Hajo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Oh Dear, problem solved. make was not part of the Debian distribution. I had to install it by hand.I think nobody seems to compile programs anymore.

Hello Robert, I was using the official image BBB-eMMc-flasher-debian-7.4-2014-02-16-2gb.img. While installing make with apt-get it was installed new. I couldn't recall the message... too many lines gone by. Program still doesn't work but that's another problem ;-) Anyway thanks for the answer.
