Good afternoon, I don't understand how to determine whether the BBB is booting off the SD card or booting off the internal flash. Here's what happened, I installed a 4GB image from getting started section onto my SD card This was the first image here: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images
Initially I powered on by holding the button next to SD card, It booted and I could tell it was not the internal image, because it did not have the demo applications. Next, I tried hitting the reset button to see if it will boot off the SD card again, nothing happened and I could not connect to the BBB any more. I scanned all ports and it was not available. I tried resetting and holding down the button again, but it would not boot off the SD card. Only when I take out the SD card the BBB boots into the original installation. Does anyone know what may have caused this? This is a brand new SD card, and I doubt I had damaged it by resetting the BBB. As far as I understand there are 3 booting options, 1. There is booting off internal NAND which only has 70mb (or is this only a partition 2. Booting off SD card 3. "If using BeagleBone Black and the image is meant to program your on-board eMMC, you'll need to wait while the programming occurs. When the flashing is complete, all 4 USRx LEDs will be lit solid. *This can take up to 45 minutes."* What I don't understand is how to select how the device boots. How can I make it boot off the SD card every time? How do I prevent it from writing to the NAND? I want to prevent damaging anything by overwriting the NAND and only work within an SD Card. Wouldn't it have been easier to install a jumper to select which memory the device boots from?
