Hi Gerald, thanks for your reply! I followed your suggestion using the latest firmware. After flashing the BBB I see now that the ID.txt files shows:
*CLoud9 GNOME Image 2013.06.20* root@beaglebone:~# more /etc/version Angstrom v2012.12 root@beaglebone:~# root@beaglebone:~# uname -a Linux beaglebone 3.8.13 #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 09:09:32 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux I repartitioned my microSD as before (UENV and SD) and created the uEnv.txt in primary FAT32 partition (UENV ) as above. If I insert the microSD into the BBB, the microSD is detected and the two partitions are automatically mounted under /media root@beaglebone:/# cd /media/ root@beaglebone:/media# ls BEAGLEBONE SD UENV card cf hdd mmc1 net ram realroot union root@beaglebone:/media# more UENV/uEnv.txt mmcdev=1 bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro optargs=quiet root@beaglebone:/media# The problem is when I reboot the BBB with the microSD already in. I still receive the same error message as before (I attach the complete console output *BBBlog.txt*): SD/MMC found on device 0 reading uEnv.txt 66 bytes read in 3 ms (21.5 KiB/s) Loaded environment from uEnv.txt Importing environment from mmc ... gpio: pin 55 (gpio 55) value is 1 mmc_send_cmd : timeout: No status update **Bad partition specification mmc 1:2 U-Boot# I thought (and hoped) the problem was due to the missing of CR-LF at the end of the uEnv.txt as I read in other posts, but it is not :( What I really don't get is why and how I did manage few days ago to boot the BBB with the microSD in, just after following the instructions in http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=MicroSD_As_Extra_Storage But I can't know achieve the same result. (I had to re-flash the BBB from scratch because I did later on other mistakes ... I'm learning :) ) Clearly this **Bad partition specification mmc *1:2* error message is related to the following settings in the uEnv.txt mmcdev=1 bootpart=*1:2* But why now suddenly doesn't it accept 1:2 while it did it few days ago? Thanks in advance for any help/saggestion.
