Cannot find Debian Jessie 8.9 version for BeagleBone Black Rev C

General Discussion
1

Hi experts,

I was using the BeagleBone Black Rev C with a DLPDLCR2000EVM by Texas Instruments.

I was following the guide from this link: https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp-products-group/dlp/f/dlp-products-forum/621466/faq-dlpdlcr2000evm-quick-start-tutorial

and since there were users with issues using latest debian versions such as 9.1, I wanted to use debian 8.9 as mentioned here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp-products-group/dlp/f/dlp-products-forum/706215/dlpdlcr2000evm-quick-start-tutorial

The link in the guide doesn’t work anymore. And I am unable to find the specific image file anywhere on the internet. Could you please provide the link to that specific image file, “BBB-blank-debian-8.9-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2017-08-01-4gb.img”? Also I want the TI’s EVM’s drivers pre installed in the image and the cape overlay customization as needed for my requirements.

I have tried communicating with TI’s experts on their forum too, here is a link to the discussion: DLPDLCR2000EVM: Could Not Find Debian Jessie 8.9 image file - DLP products forum - DLP®︎ products - TI E2E support forums

They are also experiencing the same issue as me and have advised me to ask for software support here.

Regards,
Akshdeep

No, I require that specific version for the other device that I am using. However, if you or anyone is aware of Cape Overlay Customization, I could use your help.
With Cape Overlay Customization I will be able to use any Debian version. I have the link to that here: [FAQ] DLPDLCR2000EVM: BBB Cape Overlay Customization - DLP products forum - DLP®︎ products - TI E2E support forums

I have the .dts and .dump files downloaded, but for the installation I do not understand the instructions how to do that. if anyone can give me a step-by-step procedure for that, I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks
