I answered my own question. I changed to Debian, using the 2 images on the official beaglebone site. copied the images to 2 sdcards. No1 board: flashed the emmc with the sd card and the flasher debian version, installed a light VNC from instruction here<http://www.micronetinternational.com/clients/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=12> Installed socketio and serial port (went without a glitch), copied my nodejs software into cloud9 and had everything running in a few hours (not days as before). copied the entire emmc dd=if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 if=/mount/usbstick/imagefile.img bs=512 to a usb stick. no2 board: booted with the Debian non flashing version (sd card) and DDed the emmc: dd if=/media/usbstick/imagefile.img bs=512 of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 Works great, second board powers up with Debian. To find wich mmcblkx to use, do a fdisk -l make sure your sd card is 4 or 8G and you will see which is about 2G and 4 or 8G
all the best Debian is great Le vendredi 7 mars 2014 12:00:03 UTC-5, [email protected] a écrit : > > > I too am trying to clone BBBs with no luck. > > I flash the emmc with Angstrom distro > > > https://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img.xz > > then > > Enabled NTP > > X11VNC (frees up the USB port and my desk) > > NodeJS, Socketio and serial.io > > > to clone I boot with Angstrom flashed to a micro sd card > https://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.06.20.img.xz > > > I plug in a USB stick and DD if=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 > of=/media/BKUSB/BK6mar14.img bs=512 conv=noerror > > > I then use the same sdcard and USB stick to flash the clone : > > DD if=/media/BKUSB/BK6mar14.img bs=512 of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 conv=noerror > > > I checked this procedure on on board, after saving the .img I delete > some folders, reboot with the Sdcard and restore everything with the DD > command. > > If I go from BBBB rev a5C to BBB rev a6A I get multiple checksum errors > such as : > > « [ 0.777470] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for > group 0 > > failed (47376!=48106) » > > > and /sbin/init errors : > > « /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libkmod.so.2: cannot > open shar > > ed object file: No such file or directory » > > > > My questions are : > > Is it worth debugging with Angstrom or should I just move to Debian? > > > If Angstrom is ok, then how can I troubleshoot this problem? > > > Thanks > > > > Le mardi 13 août 2013 11:20:21 UTC-4, Thomas Laskowski a écrit : >> >> Thanks, I will try them out. >> >> -Tom >> >> On Tuesday, 13 August 2013 11:13:40 UTC-4, RobertCNelson wrote: >>> >>> On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 10:09 AM, Thomas Laskowski <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> > Do you have any pointers to "better" images? >>> >>> Same place they've always been. .;) >>> >>> (install to microSD) >>> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Demo_Image >>> >>> (eMMC "flasher") >>> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black >>> >>> Regards, >>> >>> -- >>> Robert Nelson >>> http://www.rcn-ee.com/ >>> >> -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
