That's why there are two separate downloads. To convert the flasher image
to not flash. Just remove the flash-emmc text file from the fat partition.

to less post-installation processing. Using the 2GB uSD card image also
flashes a bit faster and can be resized to whatever your uSD card size is
using some scripts under /opt/scripts/tools.

pretty safe to save the documentation as an in-beta item because it

Down at the bottom of the Cloud9 IDE you'll see a new terminal window that
runs a full 'tmux' session. You can open up a bunch of these and it makes
logging into the board and executing command-line operations *super* simple.

Adafruit_BBIO library is included in these Debian images. That means you
can simply paste in your Python code and hit the "run" button, without any
additional download. I checked this out myself by doing a quick LED blink
using the Adafruit tutorial (

you can start using the Cloud9 IDE to edit the content live. What I
recommend is creating your own fork of the repo and sending me pull
requests of any changes you'd like to see.

Userspace-Arduino (http://elinux.org/Userspace_Arduino) code in

blink LED0:

>> I use a Mac and despite the latest version of HoRNDIS fixing issues with
Internet Connection Sharing, getting on the WIFI at home makes getting my
BeagleBones on the network much easier, further making grabbing new
packages with 'sudo apt-get install' much simpler. Drivers and firmware for
many common USB WiFi dongles are included, so be sure to report any that
you find missing. These latest images include the drivers for the popular
UWN200 adapters provided by Logic Supply. To test it out myself, I
uncommented and edited the wlan0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces
(including replacing wlan0 with ra0), shutdown, plugged in the adapter and
powered up the board again. I'm seeing the issue "rt28xx_open return
fail!", but I'm sure this is something we can fix in a few days and provide
an updated image. I removed that adapter and plugged in an adapter I bought
from Adafruit (and switched ra0 back to wlan0) and got the issue
"rtl8192cu:_rtl92cu_init_power_on():<0-0> Failed to polling
REG_APS_FSMCO[APFM_ONMAC] done!". Finally, I plugged in a TL-WN822N adapter
I bought from Amazon and BINGO---WiFi!!! Anyway, getting reports on what
adapters work and don't work would be really helpful at this point as we'll
be trying to get a very full set of WiFi drivers included.

>> This is just a quick intro to some of the experience and what we are
focused on fine tuning. Please take the time to check it out and let us
know about your experience. It should be known that Koen has continued to
advance the state of the Angstrom Distributions images he provides and
those continue to serve as a more flexible base for building truly custom
Linux distributions needed by many embedded systems developers. However, as
our user base has grown, getting a Debian image that feels a bit more
familiar to Linux novices is something for which I've heard tremendous
demand. If feedback from the community is positive, there will be a switch
as to what distribution comes loaded in the eMMC flash on the boards. I
hope you enjoy it!
