Finishing Image Installation

I was failed to install SD image, so I will use official images for the time being.

I found the latest nightly build for Beagle Bone Black.

I used the image on https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2022-06-29/buster-lxqt-tidl-armhf/am57xx-debian-10.12-lxqt-tidl-armhf-2022-06-29-6gb.img.xz

Downloading the image needs the time (need 30min to download the image). So, I also tried to boot the image in the blog.

In the website https://beagleboard.org/blog/2022-02-15-using-device-tree-overlays-example-on-beaglebone-cape-add-on-boards , I tried to follow the step to build image.

Downloading was done when I was trying to build the image. So, I separates the page and I will be back when I have time.

Now I used the am335x-debian-11.3-minimal-armhf-2022-06-29-2gb.img and I am trying to boot the image.

Booting the image is succeeded. So, I will continue to add a device tree overlay to the device.

First, let’s check the partition of the image.
