Robert and Dennis thank you both. There was something I clearly didn't understand, it flashed and did the cylon thing and the lights went blank like it should.
I unplugged it, took the SD card out, and plugged the power back in. Now the G, R, 75% bat, power, and WIFI LEDs come on and nothing further happens. I can't see it on wifi and my computer doesn't recognize it. This is with the SD card in and out. and I'm on windows 10 On Monday, August 17, 2020 at 9:34:13 AM UTC-7 Dennis Bieber wrote: > On Sun, 16 Aug 2020 20:10:12 -0700 (PDT), in > gmane.comp.hardware.beagleboard.user Ryan Elliott > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > >Hello!
