Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone: Choosing between tiny DIY computer kits

I have mine, but haven't been able to do anything with it. It fails on fastboot when trying to flash it for DIP (to use HDMI). Did you flash it for DIP yet?

Yes, failed the first two times which was because I had a pending restart for some updates which I hadn't noticed, this is on a Win 8.1 Pro x86 machine.
After the restart the flashing of Debian 4.4 GUI version worked straight off.
Flashed using the C.H.I.P. Flash add-on in Chromodo, took about 15-20 minutes to complete flashing.

I'm on a Win7 installation. I haven't updated it in forever, and have even turned off the windows update service, because it regularly uses an insane amount of CPU. I'm preparing to give in and update to W10, so maybe I'll try again after that.
4wd:
Could always try one of the bootable Linux distros on a flash drive (providing persistence is enabled to allow you to install Chrome plus add-ons).

Yeah... that was what my next step was. But I didn't think it should be necessary :(
