Announcing the release of a new System Image for BeagleLogic, which is now available here

This release is based on Debian 9 (Stretch), which is the newest stable version of Debian GNU/Linux available.

NodeJS in this system image is upgraded to the latest available v6.11 LTS release (it is used by the web interface)

Also the sigrok components bundled in this image have been upgraded to the libsigrok 0.5.0 release which happened in June 2017. They incorporate new features and protocol decoding is expected to be faster as a result of the new protocol decoder API.

The device tree overlay in BeagleLogic is now loaded using uboot cape overlay support which requires that one hold down the switch to boot from SD card by default. Alternatively one can also update the bootloader on the eMMC so that it can support uboot overlays.

Login as root is by default disabled in the new system images for better security. Therefore the BeagleLogic image now allows attributes (samplerate, sample unit, ...) to be set through the default user without requiring root permissions. This also improves the quality of experience.

It is highly recommended that users update to the new system image.
