When I got my BBAI a year or 2 ago, the update link presented by the pre-installed software, downloads the wrong update, then you are left with an BBAI which will only run for a short time, not enough time to update again the same way.
I eventually found an image to install on an SD-Card. I could not be sure if it updates the on board memory. Which one of these http://beagleboard.org/latest-images do you put on a SD-Card or USB flash memory stick? Which updates the on board memory?
