The serial debug cable I ordered for my BBGW finally got here. I downloaded RCN's most recent build, BBGW-blank-debian-8.5-seeed-iot-armhf-2016-09-04-4gb.img.
I did see a few errors on the serial console during the installation: Creating journal (16384 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done Formatting: /dev/mmcblk1 complete ...cut... [ 116.630830] 6144 pages cma reserved [ 116.634355] edma 49000000.edma: edma_prep_slave_sg: Failed to allocate a descriptor [ 116.642061] omap_hsmmc 481d8000.mmc: prep_slave_sg() failed [ 116.647671] omap_hsmmc 481d8000.mmc: MMC start dma failure [ 117.305788] mmcblk1: unknown error -1 sending read/write command, card status 0x900 [ 117.313590] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 4720640 [ 117.320212] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 4720648 [ 117.326810] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 4720656 [ 117.333405] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 4720664 The installation does seem to continue, and it shuts down cleanly at the end. Not sure if those I/O errors are important. When I reboot it without the micro SD card, things seem OK, though I see this: [ 2.169781] PM: Cannot get wkup_m3_ipc handle [ 2.289107] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #0: No cape found [ 2.333102] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #1: No cape found [ 2.377098] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #2: No cape found [ 2.421098] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #3: No cape found Loading, please wait... fsck: error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/mmcblk1p1 fsck exited with status code 8 I'm then presented with the usual login prompt. When I login and run ifconfig, I see no wireless device. But if I wait a minute or so and try again, the wireless eventually does show up. Is this par for the course? Should I be worried about any of these errors?
