Do we have latest distribution for Beaglebone black than 12.02?

Hi,
I have couple of general questions. I am working on Beaglebone black Industrial and trying to get quick Kernel updates for Generic functionalities.

Do we have latest distribution for Beaglebone black than 12.02? I could flash eMMC with 12.02 minimal distribution.

I am looking to get latest Kernel for Beaglebone black. Apt upgrade gives only 5.10.128. I am looking to get latest 6.1 version. I see ‘linux-image-6.1.83-ti-r38’ or ‘linux-image-6.6.32-ti-arm32-r7’. Is there any difference between arm32 Kernel vs regular one?
Appreciate your response.

Regards
Raj.

eMMC regression has been fixed after a year of testing, working on providing v6.12.x images.

Robert,

Thank you for pointing to the path that has the latest builds. I have downloaded the latest version “am335x-debian-12.9-minimal-armhf-2025-03-12-2gb.img.xz”. However this distro does not have Beaglebone black universal dtb builtin. Where as 12.02 had this dtb to support BBB peripherals.
Do you have any reference on how to get to the right dtbs on the latest 12.9?
Thanks.

Only v5.10 at this point, it all got delayed due to the eMMC regression, I’m working on v6.12.x

Thank you Robert. I got 12.9 with Kernel 6.1.83 working. Only notice that GPIOchip mapping from 5.10 to 6.1 is offset by 1. chip 1 to be 0 and chip 0 to 3.

The gpioX number gets worse in later v6.x’s…
