Also, from what I've been able to tell, at any point if they (FSL) rolls out an update they could easily wipe anything we've put on here, I'm planning on ordering a second BBB and putting as much from this board onto it (probably the git repo) and working off that in the near future.

I should validate I haven't broken anything first, but the second board will be good because I'll be sure none of the FSL software running/active on the system is interfering with what I try to do.
