Thanks for the response William, I followed the directions online to put in a formatted uSD card with firmware, held the boot button down (it's a momentary push button, not an on/off switch) while plugging in a 3S Lipo (12V). No booting from uSD happens . To double check I viewed the process on YouTube (for BB Black) to make sure I was doing what was expected.
What do you think? I realize these boards are new (says Beaglebone Blue Rev A2 on back) but I hope there isn't some sort of defect with them. I used a DMM to verify that the push buttons are shorted when depressed. Anything obvious I'm missing?
