Hmm ... a lot to absorb. Thanks for your replies. It's not that I'm so worried about wearing out the uSD card. But I've only just started playing around with the BBB and the Pi and I'm already getting the impression that the BBB is noticeably slower than the Pi at capturing and processing webcam streams. I just didn't want to do anything that would slow it down even more by creating an unnecessary bottleneck in writing images to the uSD.
It didn't occur to me that running off the sd card would be much slower than the eMMC. So maybe a better strategy, when I want to use a different image, would be to save the eMMC to a backup image and flash a new one to the eMMC. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
