Personally, I bought a SanDisk micro SD card of 16 GB. If you want to be able to run Ubuntu and build OpenCV on the BeagleBone Black, you will need a micro SD card of at least 8GB, I recommend buying one of class 10. Also, Ångström has g++-4.7.2 as the default C++ compiler and I want to be able to use a newer compiler, like the g++-4.8.2, for C++11 development.Īs a side note, the next revision of the BeagleBone Black will support Debian Wheezy out of the box, which has an even older C++ compiler than Ångström. I have nothing against Ångström, but I prefer to run Ubuntu headless on this tiny computer. BeagleBone has Ångström Linux already installed on the 2GB eMMC card. I’ve recently bought a BeagleBone Black for some computer vision and home automation projects I intend to do sometime in the future.
