you probably still try to boot from the eMMC have a look https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/machinekit/vSPXdPspyEs or here https://github.com/machinekit/Machinekit-HAL/issues/17#issuecomment-324722580 (and following comments) grep -c bone_capemgr.uboot_capemgr_enabled=1 /proc/cmdline should output a “1” it probably doesn’t in your situation have a look so enable booting from the SD card: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcbkl1 count=1 seek=1 bs=128k -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
