It has been awhile since I have done much with my BBBk.  Over the last 
several months I have been playing around with some other boards such as 
the Odroid U2 (have a U3 on order) as well as an Intel NUC.  But am 
thinking about moving the BBBk that I was starting to use on a Rover to a 
4DOF hexapod. Should be straight forward as I have 2 RPIs running my 
Phoenix port.  One is on a 3DOF Lynxmotion T-Hex and another is on a 
Trossen PhantomX Hexapod.   But I have not tested my 4dof support in the 
port, so am thinking of trying my Lynxmotion 4DOF round hex out on the BBBk.

My question is, which distribution/build would you recommend at this 
point.  I believe the emmc has an Angstrom build dated back to 2013 06 20. 
I know around this time I was having issues that if you do something like 
an apt-get update/upgrade at times it would corrupt the image.  

I am not using any shields (other than the prototype shield).  I have been 
using a few of the usarts for XBee and before to talk to motor controller.  
But for Hex will probably want to talk to SSC-32 (Atmega chip) so I will 
either use USB to serial converter or probably would need to use a TTL 
level shifter.

So again would like to know if you would recommend sticking with Angstrom 
on the EMMC or go to a different distribution?  Do any others fit on the 
EMMC?  

Thanks in advance

Kurt

P.S - Do wish the BBBk came with a larger 4 or 8 gb emmc.  (I have an 16 on 
ODroid, 128 on NUC)  Would have easily paid more for it
