I believe the card that shipped with BeagleBone White required a 4GB card. You can use the 2GB Debian image on a BeagleBone White. > > The link in the eLinux Wiki > (http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone#Revision_A6A_Image) refers to > a file on circuitco.com that is no longer available. Hopefully CircuitCo will respond. If the consult with me on an image update, I always place the image on my s3 mirror which I believe to be highly stable and reliable. The 2013-06-20 image is newer than the ones they have and I believe if you did find that old image, it'd still be a 4GB image. You can always use Angstrom to make a new image. > > > P.S.

Having room for the docs is why we've shifted Rev C to 4GB. The Angstrom image is 3.8GB, but that isn't all full. There is a fair amount of room within the Angstrom image on a 4GB SD card. I think this suggest that you have been confusing the size of the image (which is sized to the full disk image size) with the amount of free space within the image. > > -- > For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "BeagleBoard" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
