[beagleboard] Having problems cloning eMMC, turns out 4GB != 4GB on different boards.
Hello, I have a Beaglebone Black with 4GB eMMC and debian preinstalled, that I got all setup for my application. I got another 4GB BBB, and am trying to clone eMMC from the first one to this new one, but am having problems. My current problem is the board that I have setup already has according to fdisk 3925868544 bytes, but the new one is only 3867148288 bytes which is like 59MB less. First question is why are they different? Second question is anybody have any ideas on how to clone it? Currently I am booting with 8gb flash disk with debian installed on it. I can't resize parition because parted isn't installed and I do not have internet access for the boards. Thanks.

[beagleboard] Having problems cloning eMMC
I am trying to clone an existing BBB, so my first try is using the scripts on http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents . So first thing I notice is the .img file created was only 2GB, whereas this is a newer BBB that has 4GB eMMC. So when I updated script to write the img to new BBB, it no longer boots from eMMC. i would like to make exact copies including uENV.txt, etc. Does anyone know why this is not working? The read command script is #!/bin/sh echo timer /sys/class/leds/beaglebone\:green\:usr0/trigger dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/mnt/BeagleBoneBlack-eMMC-image-$RANDOM.img bs=10M sync echo default-on /sys/class/leds/beaglebone\:green\:usr0/trigge -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.
