[beagleboard] BBB doesn't complete boot, little help :-)

2014-03-04 Thread brad . hopper
Hey folks, first time poster here, having some trouble getting my BBB to 
boot.

Here's the story - I was previously booting fine and connecting to the bone 
with both serial and ssh over the network. Then I installed OctoPrint, a 3d 
printing controller. All was well, then installed mjpg-streamer and tested 
- also working fine. Basically I then powered everything off and went home. 
Now it won't boot - it will blink a little and then the lights go out. It 
won't power on at all until I unplug power and try again, when it does the 
same.

In the mean time I did image LinuxCNC MachineKit onto an SD card, and it 
will boot from that - so I can get into the board, but the onboard boot 
seems hosed. I'm used to working with Arduino, where you just yank th eplug 
when you're done - this seems more sensitive and I guess my lack of orderly 
shutdown (I actually don't even know how to do that yet :-)  ) something 
went wrong.

Any suggestions for how to repair the boot? I guess I could reimage it but 
then I don't exactly know how to do that on the eMMC either. Is it 
generally considered a good idea to move away from Angstrom?

Here is how to reflash the eMMC to factory condition.
