Recommendations
- use the recommended Kernel
- make and use a swapfile on your µSD (warning: this may destroy the µSD card after uncertain time)
- save the TangoGPS map files on the µSD as there is little space left on the NAND
- Uboot stable is recommended in case you want to be sure to have everything functional
- upgrade only to programversions you know that these work well, because many packages are really unstable
