Hello Gerald, I followed the procedure given here - http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software
*"10) Hold switch S2 (Boot Switch, see picture below) down by pressing on it and holding it while plugging in the power cable."* 1. Whenever I powered on the board(with SD card) by holding Boot switch, nothing happened, only the power LED will be ON all other USER LEDs will be OFF, I tried holding boot switch for several minutes. 2. Also, without holding the boot switch, if I insert SD card BBB will start flashing emmc and after about 45 minutes all four User LEDs will lit continuously. I did point 2 several times, every time after 45 minutes the four LEDs will lit solidly but if it press POWER button turn off BBB, remove SD card and again power on BBB, it will not boot. Instead four User LEDs will simply blink at a continuous pattern. I mean four LEDs will blink at once every second, in BBB irc someone said that after flashing it can take up to 30 minutes to boot, but I kept connected the board yesterday night completely for more than 8 hours still no luck. Is this hardware problem or software problem? Also, When I used https://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.08.21.img.xz image it booted properly from SD card, AGAIN I DID NOT PRESS BOOT BUTTON. I am worried about two things, 1. Why pressing BOOT button is not working as expected, in all docs this point is mentioned. Why it flashes or boots from sd card only without pressing boot button. 2. Why I am not able to flash emmc with default Angstrom linux.
