Warning. Debian 12 on BBBlack, don't install wireguard !

the latest image with Debian 12 ships with kernel 5.10. If you try to apt-get install wireguard the kernel will be upgraded to 6.1 and your BBBlack will not boot again.

Side note, wireguard-tools is usually pre-installed in our offical images… it’s only the wireguard package that brings in wireguard-module/wireguard-dkms packages that pull in the kernel.

To recover, you just need to open and edit /boot/uEnv.txt (easier if on microSD, for eMMC you’ll need to boot a minimal image…)

Regards,

Thank you Robert. Just a little change saved me a couple of hours of work. The machine rebooted.
