An old BBW is going to have an ancient (in computer time-scale) boot-loader. I recommend you flash the on-board eMMC with a new boot loader. You can do this manually if you really want to (and know how), but the easiest way would be to use a recent console image flasher like: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Flasher:_.28console.29_.28BeagleBone_Black.2FGreen_eMMC.29 ...assuming you don't mind trashing whatever is in the eMMC, of course! -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
