ok. so the image i was trying to flash to my BBB was a 4gb sd chip bootable. not a flash image. if i put the 4gb sd bootable version in the sd slot then i should have seen the device boot but it didnt. i was expecting a flash process. right there i see a red flag. why would the bootable sd not boot? the image is corrupt? am i supposed to download and create the image using the BBB? Ive been doing everything on my laptop.
