The Goal
The goal of this site is to provide easy to deploy stock armhf embedded images that are very stable. The goal is not to provide the absolute latest kernels that may lack stability. This ease of deployment and stability enables the software engineer to focus on software development without the hassles of building operating systems and fussing with bleeding-edge kernel issues.
Ubuntu Trusty 14.04
This image uses the Ubuntu 14.04 core filesystem from Ubuntu with the minimal meta package applied. The kernel is compiled from the mainline Linux kernel git repository. The result is an easy-to-install and stable Linux image that works with both the BeagleBone and the BeagleBone Black boards.
