Debian, also known as Debian GNU/Linux is a free and open source Linux Distribution developed by the Debian Project. It is well known for it’s stability, reliability and extensive package repository. It serves as the basis for many other popular Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux and more.
The BeagleBoard.org Foundation provides a variety of pre-built Debian images available here –

Generally, images are distinguished by desktop environment (XFCE/Cinnamon) or Minimal (console only, optimized for size and minimal resource usage).
Images also come in two sub-flavors – Flasher and Regular.
Regular images are intended to be flashed and booted from an SD card. Scripts are available for moving these images to eMMC or other supported boot mediums (such as NVMe*) depending on the board.
Flasher images will install themselves to the on-board device memory (eMMC) for applicable boards. When used, the board will flash its LEDs to indicate the flashing process (which can also be monitored via Serial console) and the board will shutdown upon completing the flashing process. The user can then remove the SD card and the board will boot the image from the newly flashed on-board storage upon completion.
