Hi, Dennis - thanks for the reply. The image is on a microSD card. I followed the directions here <http://derekmolloy.ie/write-a-new-image-to-the-beaglebone-black/>. I got the image from here <https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-11-06-4gb.img.xz>. It doesn't boot.
William: I do in fact own a debug cable. I'll try plugging it in and see if I can see anything. I've never worked with boot arguments; can you tell me where they're kept? mz On Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 5:52:57 PM UTC-7, Dennis Lee Bieber wrote: > > On Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:34:47 -0800 (PST), mzimmers > <[email protected] <javascript:>> declaimed the following: > > >So, in an attempt to upgrade the OS on my BBB, I managed to get it to > lock > >up. > > > >When I try to boot, the LEDs look like normal for a few seconds, but then > >LED2 comes on solid, and the others are off. > > > >This occurs whether or not I plug in my flash drive. > > > >When I hold down the boot button, I get no LEDs at all. > > > >So...I'm guessing that I've corrupted some system files and am entering > an > >infinite loop.
