If you are willing to reimage the Beaglebone, why not just download Etcher on 
your Windows system and then burn a Beagleboard flasher image to an uSD card 
and then boot the BBB with the flasher image to refresh the eMMC?

 

Etcher Windows:

If you have another Linux based board such as Raspberry Pi, you could try to 
read the BB image on that using a uSD USB reader.

 

The other option is to install a tool on your Windows system that allows you to 
read the Linux filesystem and then edit any file you changed.  I suspect either 
/etc/resolv.conf' or your interfaces file.

The hardware console/debug port that is on the 6-pin header. You'll
need a 3.3V compatible FTDI adapter.

There is so much ambiguity there... The Beagle requires an

You have to hold the boot select down while applying power to the board
-- as I recall, it doesn't take from a soft restart.

I'd suggest the fastest way is to first start with a working Debian
image -- perhaps a flasher image to rewrite the eMMC. Then you have a base
machine to do the experiments in getting Ubuntu to work.

You mean the USB port? With address 192.168.7.1? No that does not work either. 
As I said, my laptop picks up the device and I can see the "BeagleBone Getting 
Started" drive, and I can ping 192.168.7.1. But I can’t sign on with Putty – I 
get “Network error: Connection refused” before I even get to the sign-on prompt.

 

Unless there is some other serial port I am not aware of?

Hi

 

I'm a Linux blockhead.

 

I just got a BeagleBone Black.

 

I'm working with it from a Windows10 computer using Putty and WinSCP.

 

In trying to set a static eth0 IP, (successful) and getting it to use 8.8.8.8 
as DNS, I managed to lock myself out of it completely. (Long story, involving 
adding and deleting things in files, adjusting write permissions in folders, 
removing connman and so forth).

 

So now I cannot log in to the BBB with any profile. Not it's default 
192.168.7.1 through USB, or anything else which worked previously. (I had 
deleted the ethernet static IP previously anyway)..

 

I get:

Network error: Connection refused

 

I did not make a backup of whatever it had on it's eMMC beforehand.

 

So:

Putty does not work with any IP address

WinSCP does not work with any IP address

The Browser interface does not work with any IP address

 

I can ping 192.168.7.1

With the BBB plugged into a USB port, I have access to the "BeagleBone Getting 
Started" drive in Windows File Explorer.

 

So naturally I'm trying to get the thing working again. So would this work?

 

I buy some sort of "USB to microSD" device. Something like this:

 
<https://media.takealot.com/covers_images/71f4c8bba6e04ef8869d73e26b8427bb/s-pdpxl.file>
 

 

I download some Ubuntu image from somewhere onto my Windows laptop. (I decided 
that I might as well go to UBUNTU rather than the Debian it has, while I'm at 
it).

 

I write this image out to the microSD through USB.

 

I stick the microSD into the BBB and push some button to get it booting from 
the microSD.

 

So once I get it working again, I can transfer the UBUNTU image from the 
microSD to the eMMC.

 

 

Please help!
