Good News, rev C is almost completely out of production! BeagleBoard finally ran out of NXP tda998x's, so we had to change the HDMI framer. (NXP last time buy'ed these pre covid, so BeagleBoard.org scrapped the barrel finding every last one..) The newer Rev D, now has an ITE HDMI framer in place of NXP's. I wish I could tell you exactly what build SeeedStudio placed in the eMMC, but I'm also waiting for a full (untouched) production board to show up from a 3rd party shop to personally verify.. It's probably: v2022.04: https://github.com/beagleboard/u-boot/tree/v2022.04-bbb.io-am335x-am57xx PS, Debian 13 has a breaking kmod change, so even if you get flash-kernel to run, update-initramfs will fail. ( kmod.initramfs-hook forgot about armhf's special abi ).. Here's the diff we are carrying at Beagle... https://github.com/beagleboard/repos-armhf/commit/d1601faa1c5b25628a483eae3f806c4370fd02fa Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/
