I have a new Ver C board. I went through the getting started
scenario. I have 30 years computer support, but I am a newbie to the
Beaglebone.
I was able to log in just fine, life is sweet. Time to upgrade the
OS. I read thoroughly the upgrade process. I read several "versions,
the Beagleboard.org version, Adafruit version, and a couple of others,
Of course, they were all the same. I chose the
"BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img.xz". I followed the Windows version,
created the SD image and inserted it in the board. I followed the
boot process, the four Leds came on, released the "boot" button. The
LEDs flashed for a few seconds, went out, the all four came on for a
couple of seconds, flashed for a couple of seconds, then the board
powered down. Uh-oh, not right. Sure enough, the OS is hosed. I
then inserted the SD card in my Windows machine. The 16 GB card came
up as 68 MB free out of 70 MB available. ???????? I then did trouble
shooting for the next 8 hours. I got to the point that I was able to
reformat the SD card in a few seconds, it then showed 16 GB again. I
tested the card by copying several Gigs of files to the Card, it is
OK. I went through the installation process a couple of dozen times,
the same results each time. I decided there must be something wrong
with the image. So, I switched to the
"Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME_eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.06.20.img"
(whew!). This time the SD came up as 2MB free out of 70MB.
()(*&)(&)_))&*__& I tried it anyway. As this is being posted, the
installation has been going for 3 hours. The USB LED D3 is continuous
flashing and LED D5 flashes twice, every 2 seconds. I will give it a
couple of more hours, probably a waste of time, and then see if it
will boot. I suspect not.
So, did I do something wrong? I do not know what other information
to provide. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
