File Size
SD Image 170MB
XNAND Image 63MB

To install you would need to insert the SD card into your desktop workstation. For example:

# use lsblk or dmesg to find your workstation's sd card in /dev/.  
dd if=/path/to/sdimage.dd bs=4M of=/dev/sde conv=fsync

To write the XNAND image, first download the image to a thumbdrive, or SD card and boot the board:

mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt/host/
nandctl -XW 2048 -z 131072 -i /mnt/host/xnandimage.dd # This will take 10-15 minutes

Once installed on the board you can power it as normal and watch the serial console. The first boot will take significantly longer while it finishes some setup. Once booted, you will be brought to a login prompt:

Poky 8.0 (Yocto Project 1.3 Reference Distro) 1.3 
 tsconsole

ts7500 login: 

As with Debian, you can login using the "root" user and no password. The SD image requires 488MB of your SD card, while the XNAND image requires ???MB.
