I've been using the Jessie testing images, but they've all been broken for BoneScript.
I'm helping a non-programmer friend get started with a project idea and I'm 99.9% sure that BoneScript and Node-Red is about the best starting point for what he wants to accomplish. Having a reliable USB gadget is a must for this as I don't want to add Linux-Windows network setup into the mix at the very start. Eventually he's going to want WiFi so reliable USB functions is a must. The other problem I've had with the testing images is that apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade has killed a couple of working systems, while its not hard to do, it still wastes several hours to reformat an SD card and start over :( On Friday, January 29, 2016 at 5:14:53 PM UTC-6, Soapy Smith wrote: > > Hi Wally- > > I've run into a similar problem whereby I downloaded the "Recommended" > image from the beagleboard.org webpage, > only to find that "Recommended" is not necessarily the same as "good" or > "working". > Linux seems to change and move quickly. > > For the cost of a microSD card and a few minutes of experimentation, you > could try an image from here: > > https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/ > > I having good success (I'm not using Bonescript) with images in the > 2016-01-24 folder. > Get the regular (not the flasher) image and you are ready to test. > One thing thing I have had problems with with these testing images is > unreliable USB network connection.
