Adapted to install debian unstable into a chroot in similar fashion

Installation

Update Edison Firmware Image from the latest image publication point, probably https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/edison/downloads following prescribed installation/update process.
Configure Edison networking to enable access to debian package repo
Copy the scripts herein to /tmp on Edison target, cd /tmp
Examine values within bootstrap-debian-edison.sh for repository, chroot location, etc.
Remount /home with dev option... mount /home/ -o dev,remount
On Edison, execute bootstrap-debian-edison.sh to download and install debian chroot
When installation is complete, remount /home with nodev mount /home/ -o nodev,remount
Execute setup-chroot-mounts.sh to setup mounts inside chroot
Switch to chroot with chroot /home/root/debian /bin/bash (default location, bash shell)

Just the shell (steps 5-9):

mount /home/ -o dev,remount
./bootstrap-debian-edison.sh
mount /home/ -o nodev,remount
./setup-chroot-mounts.sh
chroot /home/root/debian /bin/bash

Once inside the chroot it is possible to update and install new packages using apt-get.

For example:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip
