Hi, I had a hard time finding a Debian Jessie console image (.img file) for both BB-X15 and BBB. I eventually found that here, https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Build_Instructions/ , but it seemed like LXQT images were more readily available.
But if we needed a console image, it seemed like there were two options (1) do sudo apt-get remove on unnecessary packages or (2) use image builder. Regarding option 2, Image Builder. 1) Is Image Builder for everybody to use or mainly for Robert to generate BeagleBone/BeagleBoard images? I saw an earlier thread (circa 2014) where Robert indicated that it was created mainly for him to use to generate images and referred to it as a "frankenscript." 2) Can Image Builder now run on a host Linux machine with the Linaro toolchain, for instance, or is it still intended to be run on an Armhf device? This wiki from 2015 says build on ARMHF: https://elinux.org/BeagleBoneBlack_Rebuild_Debian_Image_Using_image-builder, "QEMU is un-reliable, thus no longer supported... Spend some Money and buy a real ARMHF device to run this script." 3) Is the procedure for generating images in image builder still as per https://elinux.org/BeagleBoneBlack_Rebuild_Debian_Image_Using_image-builder or is there an updated wiki now?
