Very close. The Os itself is not what takes up all the space. The Os itself is less than 1 GB. Everything else is application software, and languages. There are three versions of the release package. The lxqt version is slightly less than 4 GB total, and should only be used if you want everything, including the video drivers. the IoT Version removes the video drivers and associated packages, but leaves everything else, and is about 2 GB The "console" version is the smallest, is Debian plus console and minimum BBB packages, and is only about 1 GB, but then you can add in only what you need.
The space in the uSD card, and the EMMC have to be mounted separately, so not be used as single memory space, but both are accessible from either Os on SD or EMMC. --- On Thursday, February 28, 2019 at 11:04:18 AM UTC-6, Henry van Gestel wrote: > > Hai, > > I understand that you can either install Os (example debian) onto eMMC > through the SDcard and boot from the eMMC > > *OR* > > boot from the Sdcard > > In choise 1 > If the loaded Os is very big, you don't have hardly any space left on eMMC > to load additional software. > > choise2 > Then you have to use the SDcard to boot from which is by example 16 Gb, > then you have enough space left. > *in this last case the eMMC is not used.* > > Am I right or do I understand it wrong. > > In my opinion there is no way to extend the eMMC with sdcard memory to > increase this space. > > rgds > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
