having been away from my BBB for a couple months, i just want to
clarify the latest content i can download and play with.
for a class i'm teaching in a couple weeks which will incorporate
the BBB (2G version), i'm interested in:
* recent bootable image
* matching flashable image
* from-scratch build which would (ideally) match the above
so far, here's what i've found.
in terms of pre-built images, i'm looking at
http://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/, and since i'm happy to live
dangerously, i'm looking at "testing/2015-03-08" and, since i can
currently live without a graphical interface, i assume i want the
directory "console", but i'm a bit confused about the files i find
there:
http://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2015-03-08/console/
what means "blank" in the image filenames? and "BBG"? a README in some
of those directories would be useful.
also, in terms of building from scratch, i'm looking at this:
https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
and figure i can use that as a starting point, and just update
references to the latest branch for some of the software.
anyway, i just want to write a short tutorial to get students up and
running with their own working BBB by the end of the first day, so
condensing a lot of that info down to the bare minimum is what i'm
after.
