I wouldn't use any of the images from that page -- they are nearly a year old and you would need a large uSD or eMMC freespace to run an "apt update/apt upgrade" sequence. I'd suggest visiting https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/ and checking for a more recent build that includes the updates of the last year. Maybe not the most recent build (these /are/ labeled "testing, after all) but not too old either. (Note that 2021-02-15 has Debian 10.8, vs the 10.3 of the "latest images" page). Decide if you want a graphical desktop (images with LXQT) or Internet of Things (images with iot), TI Deep Learning (images with tidl) [Note that these are not mutually exclusive: LXQT & TIDL, IOT & TIDL, LXQT only, IOT only)] >Which updates the on board memory? Updating the eMMC is performed by loading the appropriate "Flasher" image onto an uSD card, and booting with that card inserted. Alternatively, non-flasher images can be turned into flasher images by editing the /boot/uEnv.txt file. Typically the last line of that file has a commented line; removing the # from the line enables the flashing mode. Note that if you boot with a flasher image, it WILL rewrite the eMMC -- every time. You would have to mount the uSD after a boot from the eMMC to recomment the line in uEnv.txt. -- Dennis L Bieber -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
