Hey Ivo
Here is the two versions I use: bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz Good luck !

(on ubuntu, I can't get the fb to work right, X is not installed, and it does not come up as 192.168.7.2. so, maybe I was going too exotic.) are the linux distributions on http://beagleboard.org/latest-images the two preferred distributions, as of late 2014? if so, the two distroes seem to be either debian or angstrom. the debian distro is about 7 months old, the angstrom one is about 1.5 years old (although the flasher is 3 months younger than the distro). their ages seem curiously dated. but if it works, it works! what do jason and other BBB key developers use? is angstrom or debian now the right "supported mass" choice? regards, /iaw -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
