thumb‎ Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder


In this class we run The Debian Distribution on the BeagleBoard. Here's how to load the Debian image we'll be using on an SD card. First get a microSD card that holds at least 8G.

Downloads

There are two items you need to download, the image to copy to your SD card and the software to copy it.

Use Etcher to copy to your SD card. Download it here. It runs on Linux, Mac or Windows, so pick your favorite OS and install it.

There are many versions of Debian we could use. Browse to [1] and download bone-debian-8.5-iot-armhf-2016-08-28-4gb.img.xz

Copying to your SD card

  1. Start up Etcher.
  2. Select the image you downloaded (no need to uncompress it).
  3. Put your SD card in the reader and select it.
  4. Click Flash! and wait for it to finish.

Once the SD card is flashed, put it in your Bone and boot it up.

Once you've successfully updated your Bone, post a note on the ECE497 Google Group.
