Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your response (don't know what happened the first time - I
responded to you just before I did to Stephane... wierd - too late in the
day I guess ! )
Firstly I thanked you.
Then I confirmed my BBB is a Rev C / 4GB.
Then I wrote about a new (but associated) issue I have and asked a question
:
My BBB fires up just fine (presents itself to Network Services - the
Network pane in System Preferences - just fine with 192.168.7.2, and allows
me to SSH in via tTerminal). All good there !
However, when I power down, insert my 4GB uSD card (I made two identical
flares of Debian 8.4 one after the other the other night) and power back up
again ('expecting' to boot off the uSD card with the new 8.4 Distro on it I
get :
-1- the BBB presents itself to Network Services - the Network pane in
System Preferences - incorrectly with a 'Self-Assigned IP' of
169.254.137.203 and a Subnet Mack of 255.255.0.0 (in lieu of the, 'more
normal', 192.168.7.2 / 255.255.255.255) and sits there with an orange LED
(as opposed to the green one)
-2-
I guess, in my 'fiddling about' of the past few days/nights I've corrupted
something but, for the life of me I can't think what. As far as I recall I
only 'played' with the uEnv.text file in /boot/uBoot on the eMMC - not
knowing or thinking about mounting the uSD card ! ;-(
Any ideas as to where I should start to focus my attention now please ?
I do (NOW, after your initial response) see that I should be aiming my
attention at the uEnv.txt file on the uSD card not on the eMMC (Oops !) but
I now don't have ace to the BBB when the uSD card is inserted.... arrggghhh
!
What am I, as a noobie - but not too dumb, be likely to have done to cause
this please ? It's difficult for me because I really don't have a good
enough appreciation of HOW this could occur and, therefore, have almost no
idea as to where to even begin looking. To boot, I'm even more worried that
that more 'playing' could make the situation even worse.
For now, I will re-blow the two uSD cards with the same Debian 8.4 image
(just in case, although I have a feeling Ive managed to screw up the uEnv
file somehow... so I'll also go take another look at that...
2nd Q (while it occurs to me) is there a way to mount the uSD card from my
Mac (I'm thinking I could update the uEnv.txt file from there !!
Regards,
IAN
