Well - the last time I had flashed it before it worked with USB power from an USB Power supply. I have now done the flash now from a 5V 3.5A power supply connected to the barrel connector - _exactly_ the same results. Here the interresting portion of a pstree while flashing: â”├â”─sh,1025 /opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh â”│ â”└â”─bash,1161 /opt/scripts/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh â”│ â”└â”─rsync,2501 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib /lost+found ... â”│ â”└â”─rsync,2502 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib ... â”│ â”└â”─rsync,2503 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib ... and the df at the time showing the linux partition on the sMMC being mounted: root@beaglebone:~# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 1582864 1218260 282532 82% / udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev tmpfs 101836 624 101212 1% /run /dev/mmcblk0p2 1582864 1218260 282532 82% / tmpfs 254584 0 254584 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 254584 0 254584 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock tmpfs 102400 0 102400 0% /run/user /dev/mmcblk0p1 98094 74086 24008 76% /boot/uboot /dev/mmcblk1p2 1715936 516260 1110844 32% /tmp/rootfs you see the new root-fs is mounted and is getting filled up... and after the "flashing" of the eMMC the partitioning looks like this (prior to rebooting): root@beaglebone:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1 Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 1920 MB, 1920991232 bytes 4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 58624 cylinders, total 3751936 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk1p1 * 2048 198655 98304 e W95 FAT16 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk1p2 198656 3751935 1776640 83 Linux The same effect: - shutting down system - disconnecting power - removing SD card - powering up (from barrel connector) - nothing happens on the serial line - disconnecting power - powering up (from barrel connector) pressing the "boot" button - "C" shows up every second - to be expected as there is no SD card installed to boot from The power supply is NOT the reason either for flash not working - so what is the problem? Is there a means to check the pre-bootloader used to load and boot MLO to see if it is corrupted?
