Different board, undergoing testing..

ps, the "iot" images are good fit for the BBGW, there was a couple
packages that Seeed wanted by default. That's why there are
"seeed-xyz" variants..

Thanks for the reply, Robert.  Knowing that I have a BBGW where I want to 
enable WIFI, which build would you recommend from the following:

(I just noticed that last one is BBBW, not BBGW...?)

Once I understand the difference between these builds, I'll update the BBGW 
installation instructions 
 that I posted a 
while back.

The BBB "ubuntu" image will support the BBGW wifi "eventually"...
There's one ti tool i still need to package into Debian Jessie (my
main rootfs target), then rebuild/port those wl18xx tools to 16.04..

(am i going to get that done this or next week, un-likely..)

[beagleboard] meaning of BeagleBone build names from RCN

2016-08-10 Thread Stephane Charette 
Can someone help explain the name of various builds available on RCN's 
site?  I have a hard time guessing the meaning or difference between 
builds.  What I was looking for is a *Ubuntu 16.04* build that I can 
install on my Seeed Studio *BBGW*, and which includes everything necessary 
to use WIFI on the device.

For example take this build:

   - https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2016-06-09/flasher/
   *BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-16.04*-console-armhf-2016-06-09-2gb.img.xz


What I was hoping to find is something similar to this:

   - https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2016-xx-yy/flasher/
   *BBGW-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-16.04*-console-armhf-2016-xx-yy-2gb.img.xz


But I did not find any Ubuntu builds that also had the letters "bbgw" in 
the title.  I did find several *Debian* builds with BBGW in the name, but I 
don't know the difference between them.  For example:

   - https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-08-05/seeed-gcp-iot/BBGW-
   blank-debian-8.5-seeed-gcp-iot-armhf-2016-08-05-4gb.img.xz  *("gcp"?)*
   - https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-08-07/seeed-iot/BBGW-
   blank-debian-8.5-seeed-iot-armhf-2016-08-07-4gb.img.xz  *("blank"?)*
   - 
https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-08-07/iot/BBBW-blank-debian-8.5-iot-armhf-2016-08-07-4gb.img.xz
 
*(What is the difference between seeed-iot and iot?)*
   

While on the topic of build names from RCN, can someone explain the meaning 
of these words/builds:

   - bb.org (?)
   - eewiki (?)
   - barefs (bare file system?)
   - minifs  (mini file system?)
   - blank (?)
   - console  (?)
   - iot  (internet of things?)
   - lxqt-2gb (?)
   - lxqt-4gb (?)
   - seeed-gcp (Seeed Studio?)
   - seeed-iot  (Seeed Studio?)
   - seeed-lxqt-4gb (Seeed Studio?)
   - usbflasher (?)


TIA,

Stéphane
