I downloaded the eMMC flasher image (images_BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.4-2014-04-23-2gb.img.xz), put on it on a micro SD card (using dd), and tried the "hold the boot button when powering on". Firstly I'm pretty concerned at this point that there is no easy way to know if it is really booting off the micro SD card or the eMMC. I had to eventually hook up ethernet and ssh in to figure out it was indeed booting off the debian linux on the micro SD card.
The very vague instructions say that flashing is done when there is no LED activity, and they become solid. Very vague indeed. I have no idea why it is not getting flashed. I am doing the boot up sequence properly, it is indeed booting up off the micro SD, but all the lights are flashing randomly until about 30 seconds later when they all blink at the same time, and remain that way indefinitely. The vague instructions say 45 mins, not 30 seconds, and the lights should be all on but solid, not flashing. Should I be able to ssh into the device when it is flashing? If not then it is clearly not even trying to flash. If there was some documentation on how to check if the flashing is actually happening or perhaps some way to execute it.
