Most likely, you are having power supply issues. The power drain of the BBB will double or triple during boot and update, (relative to idle) so you need a power supply that can handle this.
Many long USB cables are not capable of powering a BBB during peak loads. Some of the cheap wall supplies can't handle it. --- Graham == On Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at 7:14:48 AM UTC-5, Marco Thome wrote: > > Hi, > > I was working with a brand new beaglebone black on usb as usual. > Everything was fine, until I connect it to the company's network over > ethernet and updated the board with *apt-get update* then *apt-get > upgrade*.
