pocketbeagle 2 multiple Debian images differances

General Discussion

Is there a document that lists the differences between the multiple Debian software images?

Thanks.

My guess is after apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade that all images will end in the same place? Unless there are fundamental differences in some packages (e.g. some (most) don’t enable graphics - but I guess some kernel version may enable graphics (although how you get the signal of the PB2 is not clear)).

First thanks for the reply.

It is in fact the functional differences information that I am looking for.

We did a workshop webinar about a year ago now. That assumes the techlab addon pre installed..

v6.12-ti uses TI sdk kernel, which support for is done… v6.18 is the current lts long term supported mainline from kernel.org, which is supported till 2028 and will get replaced next December with a newer lts.

Was the workshop webinar recorded and if yes, where can I find it?
