I recently dusted off my Beaglebone black which I purchased back in 2013 for a project at our makerspace. After considerable difficulty trying to connect to wifi I decided it might be prudent to upgrade to one of the latest firmware images.
So I loaded the 2015-3-1 Debian image onto an SD card and booted from that. The first thing I noticed was that the board wouldn't mount when connected to a laptop by usb cable. Which, of course means I couldn't connect to beaglebone.local or 192.168.7.2. However, I was able to determine that linux appeared to be operating fine otherwise as I was able to ssh in via ethernet and serial with no problems. Thinking that maybe it was a Debian problem I also burned the 2013-6-20 Angstrom image to an SD card and booted off that. Once again it appeared fine via ssh but I couldn't mount the beaglebone or connect to beaglebone.local. The original 2013 eMMC flashed os is still on the bbb. I can still boot from eMMC and mount the device and connect to beaglebone.local as expected. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is my slightly old BBB not compatible with the latest images? Or are there some limitations with operating from the SD card that I'm just not aware of? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
