I have a fairly old (just coming up to 4 years) BBB running Debian 7 which I have kept up to date with security fixes etc.
It's used to monitor various things on my boat and runs headless with remote ssh access to manage it. Just about all of the monitoring code is written in Python and lives in my home directory on the BBB. Debian Wheezy is only supported until May 2018 so I need to move to a newer version. Will I hit any significant issues if I go straight from Debian 7 (Wheezy) to Debian 9 (Stretch)? I intend to simply get the latest Stretch image on microSD and put that in the BBB (having copied software from the Wheezy of course) and then install my existing Python code onto that. I'll be doing it 'locally' (i.e. I'll be on the boat) so swapping microSD cards will be easy enough and I can hit the power and reset buttons as needed. Presumably I can use the Stretch IoT (non-GUI) image as I don't need a GUI on my BBB. -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
