Thanks for watching out for it!

I see that you've got other questions that hopefully we can answer all together. So you know in addition to beagles connected to med devices we've got about 14 RevC beagles (pictured) and 7 RevBs currently running simulators in a 'testbed' in our lab and one of my colleagues is working on manageability and devops strategies for those beagles once they get into "the field". Also another colleague has installed different types of real-time clocks into two of the beaglebones (marked with white labels in the picture). As you know a beaglebone with a realtime clock would ameliorate a lot of issues with our 100% NTP-dependence.



We are still doing our own testing but I'm curious your opinion about the switch to Debian. I made it because Debian is now the "stock" install on the beagles. In addition the USB networking "gadget" is terribly useful for debugging (i.e. being able to ssh into the beagle over the USB connection) since we've disabled the console on the RS-232 port in favor of its use for med device connectivity. We were even thinking we could make modifications to the default "start" webpage that the beagle hosts for its PC peer to help make the process of getting started with beagles and OpenICE easier.

What do you think about the choice? There are definitely advantages to ubuntu as well but at this time Debian seemed to me to have more.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

I agree to your choice of moving to Debian from Ubuntu as Debian is the default stock install of beagles now. I also find the USB networking option as great debugging tool.
Moreover my attempts to load Ubuntu to my beagle have failed, hence I am not able to compare the benefits of Ubuntu vs Debian.
I am happy to see the setup running on Debian now.
