Yes, we originally did run into some issues if the source was changing.. (May 2014 bb.org debian release) All current eMMC flasher's do it in single user mode now https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh (this was changed mid 2014).. If your image (cat /etc/dogtag) is after Sep 2014, just do: cd /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/ git pull ./beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh If you look at the script close enough: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh#L366 There's a few things you can all tune/override via "/boot/SOC.sh" Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://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.
