Hi, Having bought a Beaglebone Rev A5C I wanted to flash the latest Stretch LXQT. In the process of doing so a couple of issues occured. When first plugging in the BBB USB connection no devices are recognized in the device manager. Neither COM ports, nor network adapters. Installing the Drivers did not work either. Also tried
Anyways I went ahead and wrote the image to a micro SD card. Booting from SD is possible - logging into debian with temppwd. However sudo for root with a blank password does not work. Therefore modifying 'sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt' for eMMC is not possible. When I try to flash whatsover, pressing down SW2, the normal 'heartbeat' blinking comes on, not the expected continuous '1-2-3-4' I have also tried to recover the root password <http://mmmsoftware.blogspot.com/2014/01/recovering-root-password-on-beaglebone.html>in case the previous owner had one set and it's blocking somehow. Unfortunately the UART-USB can't establish a connection - I guess also because USB is not showing up? Not having used the UART adapter before I cannot verify.. Am I missing a point here? Is 'heartbeat' normal for flashing and I have not waited long enough?
