Hello…try the beagleboard.org site for distros under the header boards. Then, pick your board (PB2), pick the Distro, and flash with the bb-imager.
For instance:
- PocketBeagle 2 Debian 12.9 2025-03-05 Minimal (v6.12.x-ti) - BeagleBoard
a. That link will bring you to the Distro. - Install bb-imager
- Use bb-imager to flash your Pocket Beagle 2.
While under the options to change the data, pick your username and password, do not use Wifi options unless you have a Wifi use case, and then save-save-save.
It should prompt you to change the settings and then once the flashing starts is when apply your root password.
This should help a bit. If you get past all this data here, use this to sign in: Pocket Beagle 2 and Sharing - #7 by RobertCNelson
Enjoy and post your build if you get around to it!
