Yes.. if all you want is an upgrade to the factory default: 2014-05-14 release with all the bb.org customizations, pick either the 4gb or 2gb flasher images from here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-12-31 The images on "http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian"; serve an entire different purpose.
