Looks like the image download is hosted on S3, is it possible to get a direct S3 link to it? Then one could use the "?torrent" query string trick[1] to get a bittorrent download, I'd be happy to seed it for a while.

Hey there, resin.io founder here (we're working on this with adapteva) this should be possible, let me ask around internally and get back with more details

  Oh, cool, just checking your site as well, it's a very real issue you solve, have some spare Raspberry Pi to try it out. It feels like a big change in dev thinking that I cannot ssh into the board anymore, but also very interesting. By the way, I see that you'll be supporting the SabreLite soon. Would it mean to be able to support other i.MX6-based boards like the VIA VAB-820 [1] or the UDOO?

    the idea is to make deployments repeatable, so while we may allow sshing in the future, it will be for diagnostic/experimentation reasons, not for altering the device state, so I think you understand the problem we're solving pretty well. We keep adding devices and will soon release a guide on how users can add their own devices to the mix. That said, the primary determinant on whether we can support a device is whether a yocto/openembedded BSP exists and is relatively modern (uses a kernel above 3.8). If that exists, it's almost certain that resin support will be relatively easy. Happy to chat more, email in profile.

      Yeah, i wasn't really missing SSH, as "I never thought to take away SSH" and actually it makes sense to have a different deployment and management mode. :) And yeah, as a lucky chance, VAB-820 just had a yocto layer released with 3.10.17 [1]. Looking forward to see where this is headed! [1]: https://github.com/viaembedded/meta-via-vab820-bsp https://github.com/viaembedded/meta-via-vab820-bsp
