Hi John,
There are two options I use depending upon my goals

use the TI SDK (http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM335X/latest/index_FDS.html). It is simplest to build (install SDK and do “make”). The BBBW might not be officially supported but the device tree file is there. The SDK uses a prebuilt arago filesystem although you can build from scratch with yocto.
script up Robert Nelson’s instructions (https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black) to build mainline and use a debian filesystem.
