hmmm ok, not sure I quite agree with the idea that this is a Beta, that should have been created long before the release, this is available for public use, it's sold several 10K's , so while I do get that its a 1st product and there will be refined in anticipation of a Mk2 Board, defining it as a beta is kinda strange.
Anyway....it matters not, I'm not trying to jump on a negative bandwagon, clearly its a young board with an immature software base and everyone needs to take a deep breath and jump in and see what can be done. I just hope it does indeed do what a typical SBC does, though so far I've not seen it.
I just downloaded Debian, from the wiki, took 13 hours...........burned it to SD with Win32 Disk Imager, and....it fails to boot.....hmmm
so trying the Remix OS which I was able to torrent a little quicker, while I download Ubuntu for the next 13 hours.
If that fails also I'll try using the other SD burner suggested...but really...this 1st burn, should be a no brainer???
You, or the people in charge of the software distribution, need to deal with that as a priority.
Remix OS works fine....never used it before but will have a play with it, and see what it can do.
