I have a BBB (well, I have three actually) all running old versions of Debian (Debian 7 to be specific). I need to update to the latest Debian.
So, I have written the latest Debian 9.3 image to a micro-SD card, that was easy enough (though it would be nice if there were Linux how to do it instructions on the basic BBB 'getting started' page). Now I'm confused. There seem to be conflicting instructions about what to do next. First I simply put the new microSD card into my BBB and turned on, it booted OK and I was able to ssh into it via ethernet but it was still running the old OS, not the new one on te SD card. Searching a bit more there seem to be two ways to copy the OS to EMMC, one involves holding a button down (but not clear which button) when booting and the other involves editing /boot/uEnv.txt and rebooting. However I'm still lost as to which works in my situation. Also, if I simply want to use the microSD card as my OS (it's bigger than the EMMC apart from anything else) how do I do that. What I want is a more detailed (and Linux oriented) documentation that's the next step on from 'getting started'. ... and now -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
