Checking The Debian Image Version
You should check the version of the image on the microSD/eMMC by opening the ID.txt file in the FAT partition.
root@beaglebone:~# cat /etc/dogtag BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-03-19
This file can also be accessed via a PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) via either mounting the FAT partition directly off the microSD card or via the usb interface (flash drive).

FAQ
PocketBeagle Support
Any images after 2017-09-21 will have support for the PocketBeagle
Expanding File System Partition On A microSD
By default the microSD image is only about 2GB in size, to fully expand the partition to the full size of your microSD card simple run.
cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull || true sudo ./grow_partition.sh sudo reboot
On the next reboot, [df -h] should show the full microSD card size.
Flashing eMMC
To set up the standalone microSD image to automatically flash the eMMC on powerup. Login as debian (password = temppwd) and edit /boot/uEnv.txt with nano (sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt) or your preferred editor.
In /boot/uEnv.txt:
##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher: #cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
Change to:
##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher: cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
Optional, update Flasher Scripts:
cd /opt/scripts/ git pull
and reboot the system, it'll flash the eMMC on the next bootup. (make sure to remove the microSD after flashing is complete, otherwise it'll just keep on re-flashing the eMMC)
Kernel Upgrade
We can't ship support for everything on release day, so we push out new kernels as fixes, support for new capes, etc are posted on the beagleboard.org mainline list.
cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh sudo reboot
Installing kernel headers
If you want to build a kernel module natively, you'll need to install the correct kernel headers.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
In a Makefile, perform:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(shell uname -r)
Loading custom capes
WARNING, this is now deprecated, please use U-Boot overlays
Due to limitations in debian wheezy's userspace, the use of an initramfs, and having firmware builtin to the kernel. It is currently not possible to load "custom" capes via: capemgr.enable_partno=xyz. Instead an init script has been set up to load the cape/capes as soon as possible.
Built-in Cape:
capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPIDEV1 slot #7: Requesting part number/version based 'BB-SPIDEV1-00A0.dtbo slot #7: Requesting firmware 'BB-SPIDEV1-00A0.dtbo' for board-name 'Override Board Name', version '00A0' slot #7: dtbo 'BB-SPIDEV1-00A0.dtbo' loaded; converting to live tree
Custom External Cape:
capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPI1-01 slot #7: Requesting part number/version based 'BB-SPI1-01-00A0.dtbo slot #7: Requesting firmware 'BB-SPI1-01-00A0.dtbo' for board-name 'Override Board Name', version '00A0' failed to load firmware 'BB-SPI1-01-00A0.dtbo' loader: failed to load slot-7 BB-SPI1-01:00A0 (prio 0)
Workaround:
add "CAPE=BB-SPI1-01" to /etc/default/capemgr
Privileged echo
As a normal user, you can not "sudo echo 'something' >> /etc/privilegedfile"
sudo sh -c "echo 'something' >> /etc/privilegedfile"
Timezone
By default this image is set up to display time in utc mode. If you would like to change this to your local region.
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
or:
echo "Europe/Zurich" > /etc/timezone dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
Jessie Timezone
List of available timezones:
timedatectl list-timezones
Set timezone:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/North_Dakota/Center

Adding bb.org-overlays to jessie console image
Currently by default, the console image doesn't include the *.dtbo overlays.
Install build requirements: (add's 145Mb to the console image)
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core device-tree-compiler
Clone bb.org-overlays repo:
git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays/ cd ./bb.org-overlays/ ./install.sh
i take full responsibility for knowing my beagle is now insecure
as of 2017-02-19, BeagleBoard images now longer enable these insecure options by default, you are free to recreate them as you wish.

To enable, in /boot/uEnv.txt add:
enable_uboot_cape_universal=1
Where did the slots file go?
Kernel Overlays are going bye-bye, too many bugs, too many race conditions, no kernel maintainers interested. We've said our farewells and U-Boot Overlays is the way forward: https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#U-Boot_Overlays With multiple parties working on the U-Boot infrastructure.
The rough transition plan is:
Stage 1: Disable Kernel Overlays (bone_capemgr.uboot_capemgr_enabled=1 is passed thru /proc/cmdline) Stage 2: Disable the slots file (/sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots) (v4.4.x -> 4.14.x) Stage 3: Disable bone_capemgr dir (/sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/) (v4.15.x+)
Stage 1 is complete, all current images use U-Boot Overlays by default. Stage 2 is currently in progress, as it is not recommended to "load" anything into the slots file while U-Boot Overlays are in control. Stage 3, will take longer, as many applications only need to know the "bone_capemgr" directory is available.
If you don't like the direction we are heading, simply disable, "enable_uboot_overlays=1" in /boot/uEnv.txt..
#I will be on my own with Kernel Overlays: #enable_uboot_overlays=1
Debian Build Instructions
You'll want a fairly beefy ARM system to run this script.
git clone git://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder.git cd image-builder ./beagleboard.org_image.sh
Output of the autobuilder can be found at http://builds.beagleboard.org.

Debian Image Testing Snapshots
To turn “microSD/Standalone” images into eMMC flasher images, edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the Linux partition on the microSD card and uncomment the line with cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh. Enabling this will cause booting the microSD card to flash the eMMC. “Flasher” images already enable this line. See Flashing eMMC
