So I usually use this method: On Beaglebone: root@wgd:~# cat /etc/dogtag BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2017-04-02
On Debian support system: william@eee-pc:~$ unxz bone-debian-8.7-console-armhf-2017-04-02-1gb.img.xz william@eee-pc:~$ file bone-debian-8.7-console-armhf-2017-04-02-1gb.img bone-debian-8.7-console-armhf-2017-04-02-1gb.img: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83 , active, starthead 130, *startsector 8192*, 1732608 sectors, code offset 0x0 I forget if fdisk will also give this information or not, but it should if you run fdisk -l /dev/<device name>. However, running this on a live partition may not work ?
