/* the image of kali i am using is from that link and is the version made for the BBB. i do push the boot button and the three leds turn on, but the device just sits there. i can try formatting the chip and creating the image again. see what happens from there. i was trying to avoid connecting to my computer and using putty to do this because a lot of the "how to's" that i read said i didnt have to, but the videos did. if i have to thats fine i can try doing things that way.*/ > > >>> My setup up is to connect an hdmi to a monitor, and hub for keyboard and >>> mouse. im thinking because my bbb still runs Angstrom that i am having an >>> issue running kali since kali is debian based. i have been trying to flash >>> debian on to the bbb so that i can try booting kali that way. >>> >> > The distro that is present on the eMMC should not have any impact when you > boot a distro from the SD card. > /*so your saying that regardless of what is on the eMMC if i put in an sd chip that has a working version of BBB compatible Linux then it should boot right?*/ > > >>> i cant get the device to flash with debian. i have looked at different >>> videos on youtube describing the proccess and nothing has worked for me. >>> >> > This is typically the point where you want to provide more detail.
