This is the "iot" variant which comes with an assortment of development tools pre-installed. Some of those seem rather specific (don't know the details, sorry) so there's a good chance you wouldn't need them all. You could uninstall those one by one, or you could begin fresh with a "console" image which has almost nothing added the base OS and install whatever packages are relevant. The corresponding image from the 2018-10-07 release would be this one: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2018-10-07/stretch-console/bone-debian-9.5-console-armhf-2018-10-07-1gb.img.xz You could also poke around here and pick out something a little fresher (some are more experimental than others, the "keepers" file is a good source of hints as to which release to choose) https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/ -- Kind regards, Tarmo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
