I get none of them. I tried as well reinstall the Win drivers, as well as 
Putty-access. Nope, doesn't work. I would say its the image which hangs, 
but no idea where and what.

Other ideas?

Is it possible to flash the existing image? I posted my attempt at the very 
beginning but somehow this failed. Ideas for this part?


 You should either get random text from something booting or a stream 
 of C's 

 If you get neither, either the serial is plugged in wrong, terra term 
 doesn't have the correct port.

Make sure hardware control flow are set to none in both puTTY and device
manager for the COM port. Then make sure if using a serial debug cable as
you seem to be saying you are. That TX on cable is connected to RX on J1,
and RX on cable is connected to TX on J1.NO idea what your experience level
is here so I'll just mention that.

Just to make things clearer, this post I'm going to link to has an image of
the BBB with J1 pins marked appropriately. The rest of the post will
probably not be of much use for you, as i made this last year as a
demonstration on how to hack an MSP430 Launchpad into acting as a poor
mans serial debug device.

Thx for the hints. Since I tried already many ways with the serial cable I 
concluded I throw in the towel. Especially since I could flash Debian 
straight away. I have other problems, but seems resolvable...

The link looks nice reg. How to hack ;)

Hm', IFFF I understand it correctly, than I should stick to the new image 
and try to flash it. OK, fine, BUTTT

If press the button next to the SD, insert the power, than I get just one 
blue light as described
If I don't press any buttons, just plugin than I from the 4 lights 2 lights 
are constantly on, namely the two outer lights

Hm', I plugged in and I am getting stuck like the last time :(

The cable is connected (green to SD-card side and black to J1). The COM is 
recognized by Win8.1, but I have had to change to 115200. 

Launching ttpro I can connect to COM6 at 115200. In the window the cursor 
remains blinking, no change. Keyboard doesn't seem to have much influence. 

I tried the cable as well the opposite way, but didn't change anything. 
Leaving plugged in and pressing the reset-button, doesn't show up anything 
in the existing TT-session.

Hints? Ideas?
