[beagleboard] Creating a boot sd from an img file
Using a BBB revision B, I've followed standard instructions for copying the Angstrom distro to a micro SD card from a Windows 7 machine. It works and I can boot from the SD card, I've done this with both 16gb 32gb micro sd cards. First, I format the sd card so I have an empty card with a single partition of 16gb free. The problem is that after Win32DiskImager copies the img file to the card, I'm always left with an sd card that has only 70mb total space and only a few meg of available space. If I look at the sd card in Windows Computer Management, it shows the active partition of 71mb, another empty partition of 3.33gb and 12gb of unallocated space. Is there another tool besides Win32DiskImager or something else I can look at?

Re: [beagleboard] Creating a boot sd from an img file
Thanks for the reply. When I boot the BBB with one of these cards I've created, Angstrom only sees a single 70mb partition, if it's just windows having the problem, shouldn't my BBB show the entire 16gb partition?

Your windows machine doesn't understand what it's seeing.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating a boot sd from an img file
Ok, I don't want to beat this to death but what about the other 10gb?

It'll see a 70mb boot partition and a 3.7GB root partition. Use gparted to expand the 2nd 3.7GB root partition.

[beagleboard] Re: Windows 7 doesn't mount BBB as usb drive after update
Same problem here. It worked on Windows 7 initially but no longer. On Thursday, June 20, 2013 9:31:44 PM UTC-7, Richard Pesce wrote: Hello all! I recently received my Beaglebone Black. I followed the getting started guide HERE http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started, installed the drivers. Afterwards I was able to connect to http://192.168.7.2 and use cloud9 etc. I got to the Update board with latest software portion and downloaded BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.06.img.xzhttps://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.06.img.xz and flashed the eMMC successfully. I removed the power, ejected the uSD and then connected to the computer via USB and the BBB wouldn't mount as a USB drive. Fearing the update failed, I tried again with the same image. That failed... so I tried BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.20.img.xzhttps://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.20.img.xz from HEREhttp://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Updating_The_Software and flashed again... still no USB drive. I then tried BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.17.img.xzhttp://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.17.img.xz from HERE http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/... still no USB drive. In a last ditch effort I tried (Current Production Image) BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.05.20.img.xzhttps://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.05.20.img.xz from HEREhttp://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Updating_The_Software... still no USB drive. LINUX: It is important to note that I could SSH into all of these installs (not at http://192.168.7.2 though), and verified that everything worked I can see /dev/mmcblk0p1 is mounted at /media/BEAGLEBONE (with my most current flash) and all the files are present. WINDOWS: I searched in device manager and could not see the BBB at all or any unknown or not working hardware. And in computer management/Disk management there isn't anything present. I have attempted other computers (WIN7) and multiple USB ports same issue, Anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure I am missing something obvious.

[beagleboard] BBB Revisions
I was on one of the resellers websites and noticed they listed five BBBs, with different revision numbers. All but the A6A was was listed as discontinued. The one I have is an A5A, the oldest on the list. It wasn't too long ago that I bought this thing, seems like a lot of revisions in a short period of time. What are the differences between the A5A and A6A? Is the A5A missing anything significant? I looked for a comparison sheet on the board but couldn't locate one.
