Hi, In general what is the support life of BeagleBoard/BeagleBone images?
We're baselined on the "last" BB-X15 image with Debian 8.6 and kernel 4.4.30, but with a later u-boot, 2017.01. Our software team is running a .Net application over Mono version 8, and highly discourages any upgrades to Debian unless absolutely necessary. However, if we take the decision to not upgrade to Debian 9.1 now, I'm not sure what issues this could cause us now with board bring-up and peripheral integration. When I talked to a couple of engineers at the ELC in Portland they implied that newer kernel is generally better, sighting the difficulty of back-porting new drivers to older kernel. Also, we could try to integrate Debian 8 with a newer kernel, but that might be more difficult than just switching to a BB-X15 image with Debian 9.. Anyone have any thoughts on this which maybe relevant to the general community? Thanks!!
