BeagleLogic is a collection of pieces of software that work together. For a new user it can be overwhelming to build all the components from the scratch.

As of now, I have been providing pre-built firmware for the PRUs and the sigrok binaries ( Debian Wheezy has an outdated library which breaks compilation of the latest sigrok libraries ) but they still have to be extracted into the system image. Also the software doesn't start up automatically and some scripts have to be executed to get BeagleLogic up and running. This might be acceptable, but isn't the best solution.

I'm building a new system image that contains all components preconfigured to run BeagleLogic at startup, out of the box. This image is to be programmed into a SD card the same way as one would flash a regular image into a SD card.

For the moment, it is going to be restricted to "git pull" updates, but the idea is to bundle everything ultimately in a .deb package and submit it to the BeagleBoard Debian repositories.
