This is very strange, but I did end up getting the image flashed to the emmc. I booted normally into Angstrom, then inserted the SD card. I hit the RESET button, and waited. I noticed the debian login prompt and I just let the thing sit for a few minutes. It flashed within 20 minutes and now it's working great. Could it be that it would have worked without holding the S2 button?
I hope this information helps someone else, but I'm starting to doubt it :D On Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at 3:27:48 PM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > I ended up buying a newer Rev C of the board.
