Useful information about the Beagle Bone Blue can be found here. How to setup the wifi, copy your image to the onboard eMMC or any other FAQs can be found here.

The Beagle Bone Blue comes with a preinstalled Debian 8 with Kernel 4.4.54-ti-r93 or similar. Do not upgrade to Debian 9 cause robitics cape will not work anymore. Also do not use any newer Kernel, this will cause the same problem. The latest Debian Images for your Beagle Bone Blue can be downloaded here.

You can also run the Beagle Bone Blue with a real-time Kernel. Check if there is already a RT-Kernel:

uname -r

If not, download:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.49-ti-rt-r89

Do not use a newer one. Robotics Cape won't work anymore (ERROR: missing PINMUX driver). Reboot and delete the old kernel:

sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-4.4.54-ti-r93
