BeagleBone Black Debian 13.x Minimal Image

For Debian 11 there was a minimal image which I used to build a small footprint image with ethernet/wifi and LCD display. I am wanting to upgrade to Debian 13 to stay on top of latest openssh versions for secure remote ssh access. I can’t find any ‘Minimal’ image, is the IOT the smallest image currently ready for download?

Correct, I do not generate a true “minimal” image anymore.

If you’d like a smaller image, start with: image-builder/configs/bb.org-debian-trixie-base-v6.18-armhf-am335x.conf at master · beagleboard/image-builder · GitHub

Clone Project (x86):

git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder
cd ./image-builder/

Generate Base Root File System

./RootStock-NG.sh -c ./bb.org-debian-trixie-base-v6.18-armhf-am335x.conf

To generate an *.img file, (deploy directory)

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-4gb am335x-by-build --dtb beaglebone-fat-swap
