Robert,
I'm not having success - the serial monitor continues to display "CCCCC" as
soon as it's powered up, so that seems to indicate that it's not finding
anything bootable on that SD card with the blank flasher image.
1. My setup: 64-bit Debian Jessie (as VirtualBox VM on a Win7 host);
2GB uSD card, freshly formatted & overwritten in a uSD->USB converter
(Virtualbox won't pass the built-in card reader on my laptop into the VMs)
16GB uSD card, freshly formatted in a uSD->SD converter
2. Installed bmaptool ver3.2 via apt-get
3. Brought 2GB card over to VM
1. mounted as /dev/sdd1; did "umount /dev/sdd1" to allow bmaptool to
open w/ exclusive access
2. Ran bmaptool as described above - no errors indicated.
3. Ejected uSD from VM image, host.
4. Inserted 16GB uSD into Win7 system,
1. copied 2015-03-01 debian 7.8 image
2. copied eeprom dump
3. created new job.txt file with contents as described above (UNIX
line endings)
4. ejected uSD from Win7
5. 2GB uSD into reader on BBB
6. 16GB uSD into USB adapter, then to USB on BBB
7. Serial cable connected
8. TP4 grounded to P8-1
9. Power applied via mini-USB cable
10. "CCCCCCCC"
Suggestions or troubleshooting steps?
I have erased/re-formatted/reloaded the cards 2x with same results.
