Like this readme?
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Image_Testing_Snapshots

For "end" users, there is only two images:

bone-xyz.img.xz = microSD image
BBB-blank-xyz.img.xz = eMMC flasher

The "other" images do not change anything for "end users" that the
bone-xyz.img.xz/BBB-blank-xyz.img.xz don't already do..
