Hello, I'm trying to leverage the flashing process included in the new Debian images to move my own distribution over but I'm confused on the current mechanics.
I did find this page: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software but perhaps that explains how flashing used to work with Angstrom? I wasn't able to see the same architecture happening over on the new Debian images which works in 15 minutes instead of 45 minutes. I did find */opt/scripts/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh *but I'm not particularly sure of the mechanics. It seems to me that when the boot button is pressed, the BBB mounts and boots from the eMMC-flasher partition. Somehow this script is executed (I couldn't find the relevant systemd process) and it copies over everything on that same partition over to the eMMC and then powers off. Next time, I boot from the eMMC, how does the script knows to not execute, seeing as it can't really copy the eMMC to the eMMC... How does all this work?
