Robert, Tried the prebuilt Ubuntu 13.10 Flasher image: BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-13.10-2013-12-17-2gb.img.xz
Pretty much the same result as the Ubuntu uSD, and all the other images I've tried. Lots of apparently nonfatal errors: U-Boot SPL 2013.10-00015-gab7a95a (Nov 08 2013 - 16:01:27) reading args spl: error reading image args, err - -1 ...

I am concerned that every one of them displays the line: Importing environment from mmc ... If that means what it says, it seems like it is copying whatever configuration problem is killing my cpsw_probe to each new attempt at booting or flashing. The only environment lines that jump out at me are: ethact=cpsw ethaddr=90:59:af:4d:71:eb ... usbnet_devaddr=90:59:af:4d:71:eb The original MAC addresses from ifconfig, before the boot failures: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:59:AF:4D:71:EB ra0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:43:00:7D:7F usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6E:5A:F6:F0:F3:45 That "importing" line is echoed directly from the env: fdt_high=0xffffffff fdtaddr=0x80F80000 fdtfile=am335x-boneblack.dtb findfdt=if test $board_name = A33515BB; then setenv fdtfile am335x-evm.dtb; fi; if test $board_name = A335X_SK; then setenv fdtfile am335x-evmsk.dtb; fi;if test $board_name = A335BONE; then setenv fdtfile am335x-bone.dtb; fi; if test $board_name = A335BNLT; then setenv fdtfile am335x-boneblack.dtb; fi importbootenv=echo Importing environment from mmc ...; env import -t $loadaddr $filesize kloadaddr=0x80007fc0 loadaddr=0x80200000 Help! I need some better suggestions than to try yet another image.
