[beagleboard] Can't flash debian on beaglebone black
I am trying to flash debian to my beaglebone black. I am using this image, BeagleBone Black (eMMC flasher) from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/. I successfully write the image to the sdcard, put it into the beaglebone black, power on while holding button and release once I see all 4 leds light up. The instructions say that it can take up to 45 min. I let the first one go for over an hour and eventually unplugged and tried again. This time I let it go almost 1.25 hours and still no 4 solid LEDS. I confirmed by removing the sdcard and attempting to boot. When the sdcard is in there I can connect an ethernet cable and ssh into the machine. During the flash the USR2 and USR0 LEDS are flashing showing activity. What am I doing wrong? I did this about a month ago no problem but I messed around with my distro too much and had to reinstall. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

[beagleboard] Can no longer flash debian
I had a previous distro on the beaglebone black. However I can no longer access it (not sure what I did) so I downloaded the BeagleBone Black (eMMC flasher) from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ and wrote it to the sd card. I hold the button until all leds light up to copy debian to the emmc. Twice now I have let it go about an hour but it seems like it never works. The 2nd and 4th LED show lots of activity (USR0 and USR2) but I never get to the solid 4 solid leds. If I hook up an Ethernet cable I can ssh into the beaglebone. But once I remove the card I cannot. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Yes, I hold it down until all 4 LEDS are solid for a moment or two. Just saw I double posted, sorry about that, not familiar with google groups On Thursday, April 3, 2014 8:42:36 PM UTC-4, Gerald wrote: Are you holding the boot button down when you power on the board?
