When I say 'existing memory' I mean the eMMC, it's a 4Gb one so can cope with Debian 9 OK. The /dev/mmcblk1p1 is the eMMC boot partition, Debian 9 is on the /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount. Most of the web searches I have done take me to uncommenting a line in /boot/uEnv.txt. I don't have a /boot/uEnv.txt, only a /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt. However my uEnv.txt doesn't have a line anything like the ones that are suppoesed to be uncommented so I'm still a bit stuck. As above, any help/suggestions would be most welcome. -- 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.
