  http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-dload and look for "Optionally downloading the software" in the index near the top of the page.

  Or use this link (in all browsers except Safari which doesn't work for reasons I still don't understand): http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-dload

  While the Debian 8 image installs on the BBG, it was unable to upgrade the Kiwi SW to the current Version 1.588.

  In contrast, the Debian 10 download installed and upgraded to 1.588 with no problems. Just be aware that after loading from the microSD and the power cycling the Kiwi, it takes an hour or more for the Kiwi to complete an auto-upgrade to 1.588 and during that time there is little indication on the Kiwi pages that an upgrade is in progress. So be patient!

  I just edited those instructions to be (hopefully) a bit more clear on a few points:

  • It's okay, even beneficial from a security point of view, to install Debian 10 if you're installing from scratch (i.e. not upgrading).
  • The need to wait for 45 - 60 minutes for the network update after the re-flash.
