Thanks again.
The trick is to scroll down a little bit past all the background/advanced stuff etc. It's right there because everyone asked for it upfront, when it wasn't there.. First, if your development system is linux based (non windows/osx etc..) and you want to install 13.04, use this link.. http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Raring_13.04_armhf (it's the first section under the #Demo_Image header tag..) Then just follow the download/unpacking/run setup_sdcard.sh instructions.. This will create a bootable microSD card. BTW: since your eMMC is messed up, the first thing you should run when booting this image is run: /boot/uboot/tools/scripts/beaglebone-black-copy-microSD-to-eMMC.sh If you on the other non-linux platforms use: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black Which is, download, extract, use write img to your microSD.. In either case, since your eMMC is messed up, make sure to hold down the boot push button..
