Debian 8.7 (Jessie) 2017-03-19 images are now published on https://old.beagleboard.org/latest-images, but this version isn’t likely to live more than a few weeks before we push yet another.

This was accomplished by updating the default RNDIS interface to use a USB class/subclass/protocol recommended by Microsoft for users of Windows Vista and newer. To support Mac OS X out of the box, we added a second virtual network interface supporting the CDC-ECM mode, rather than RNDIS. Mac users are no … Continue reading 2017-03-19 BeagleBone Debian images published
