Images for some three years or so have boot loaders that will detect the SD card and complete booting using the SD card. Note that the image you downloaded is NOT a "flasher" image. You've already had a response pointing to pre-configured flasher images, but for the future, you can convert regular images to flashers by removing the # from the bottom of /boot/uEnv.txt. Boot to the SD card (make sure you ARE on the SD card -- maybe boot without it first and create a junk file in the login directory; then when you boot the SD card, you should NOT SEE the junk file when looking at the directory). Run your preferred editor using "sudo" to edit the bottom of the file. -=-=- ##enable Generic eMMC Flasher: ##make sure, these tools are installed: dosfstools rsync #cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh -=-=- Change #cmdline ... to just cmdline ... NOTE: once you convert to flasher and reboot to let it flash the eMMC, you will need to remove the SD card to prevent it repeating the flash operation. After you boot from eMMC you can insert the SD card and mount it somewhere on the file system to gain access the SD card file and put the # back on it -- that will make the card usable as a regular image. >I'm using windows as well.

Normally I'd think you'd have to configure some file with information about your WiFi ROUTER, and let the board connect to your router. I can understand the Black creating a serial port over USB -- along with a network gadget (192.168.7.x on Windows, .6.x on Mac); but no idea how one does a serial connection over WiFi. SSH over network tends to work for me. -- Dennis L Bieber -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
