Debian almost dropped "armel" during Buster development cycle, it days going forward is very limited.. > 1. Is a synopsis available of the differences between the Beaglebone > Debian port and the mainline Debian ports for the same architecture? The BeagleBone Debian Images is not a port of Debian.. Instead, we start with a pure Debian install, then add our Custom Kernel, Custom u-boot and any packages either not in Debian, or backported from Stable+1.. > 2. Does Beaglebone Debian follow the Debian product lifecycle? Sure, let's look at Debian's product lifecycle: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases Version Code name Release date End of life date EOL LTS EOL ELTS 10 Buster 2019-07-06 ~2022 9 Stretch 2017-06-17 ~2020 ~2022 8 Jessie 2015-04-25 2018-06-17 ~2020-06-30 Then lets look at this email i sent out, detailing my plan for Jessie and Stretch: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/1J7alzYGum4/pjjrPYo0DQAJ > > 3.
