sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Currently, Debian (10) Buster is only available as an SD card image. If flashing the image to the eMMC is desired, the line

cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

should be uncommented in the /boot/uEnv.txt file. The image can then be flashed to the eMMC like any 'flasher' image on the
BeagleBoard website. To do this, insert the SD card with the BeagleBone powered off, hold down the S2 button and apply power.
Once the LEDs start flashing, release the button. Flashing will take between 5 and 25 minutes. The BeagleBone will power down
at the end of this process, the SD card can be removed, and the BeagleBone will now boot from the eMMC.

All the 4GB images for BeagleBone boards already have Node-RED pre-installed and set to auto-start,
so you can just boot and point your browser at your BeagleBone, port 1880.
