Robert, Thanks for the quick response and info. I tried out the following image by writing it to a micro-SD card using Etcher.io: " https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2017-08-11/microsd/bone-ubuntu-16.04.3-console-armhf-2017-08-11-2gb.img.xz "
The Blue seems to boot but the USB storage drive does not appear in Windows like it does with the Debian image ( http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.1-iot-armhf-2017-08-31-4gb.img.xz ). Also, when I perform an ipconfig command (I'm using Windows 7), I get the following. Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::a4e3:d1be:5ae7:f23d%27 Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.242.61 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : When I use the Debian image, the ipconfig command returns the same info as shown above at first, but after 20 seconds or so it changes to the expected IP address (192.168.7.1) and subnet mask shown below: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::a4e3:d1be:5ae7:f23d%27 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.7.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.252 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : While running the Ubuntu image I tried manually configuring the network adapter settings in Windows to use a static IP address of 192.168.7.1 and was able to SSH to the Blue running Ubuntu. On the Blue I did an ifconfig and it showed interfaces for usb0 (IP: 192.168.7.2) and usb1 (IP: 192.168.6.2) but none for the wireless adapter built-into the Blue (which does show up and is usable when I use the Debian image). Are there more configuration steps I need to do to the Ubuntu image to enable all of the functions supported automatically in the Debian image (i.e. USB storage drive, DHCP server running on the usb0 interface, enabling wireless adapter, etc.)? Your help is greatly appreciated!
