Re: [beagleboard] REV C Beagleone image flash: Won't take on different rev C boards?

[Matt Maher Peterson]

Hi Robert,

I am attempting this process again but now am getting:

/opt/scripts/tools# ./beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh 
Error: script halting, system unrecognized...

How do I fix this?

Re: [beagleboard] REV C Beagleone image flash: Won't take on different rev C boards?

[Matt Maher Peterson]

Ok I see now.  Use the script that is /opt/scripts/tools/emmc.

One more question.  The reason I was trying this tool again is that my 
custom debian image stopped auto connecting to my computer via usb.
I am running Ubuntu on my desktop and the little network icon just seams to 
be cycling thru trying to establish a connection.  It never seams to quite 
get there.

Any ideas?

[beagleboard] REV C Beagleone image flash: Won't take on different rev C boards?

[Matt Maher Peterson]

Hi,

I have a debian image I built with custom device tree and code that I have 
created.  I have copied and flashed this onto new beaglebones using this 
tool:

http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents

This worked great untill a recent shipment of BBB REV C from element 14.  I 
can see a difference a between the two boards where the emmc chips are 
different the 'old rev c' has a kingston chip whereas the 'new rev c' has a 
different one with a number 4LA18 JWA06 and M with a circle.

When I use the tool mentioned above I get the proper led sequence tell me 
the emmc is being flashed (blinking once a second, then goes solid when 
finished).  On these new board the LED sequence starts off right but goes 
solids very quickly and seemingly no image has been copied?

What am I missing here??

Cheers,

Matt

Nand/eMMC vary in size, the current eMMC's being used range in sizes:

#Micron 3744MB (bbb): 3925868544 bytes -> 3925.86 Megabyte
#Kingston 3688MB (bbb): 3867148288 bytes -> 3867.15 Megabyte
#Kingston 3648MB (bbb): 3825205248 bytes -> 3825.21 Megabyte

dd based image tools can't handle this. Use the rsync "flashers"...

Re: [beagleboard] REV C Beagleone image flash: Won't take on different rev C boards?

[Matt Maher Peterson]

Sorry I should have been more clear.

So on a known good beaglebone that I have my custom debian installed on how 
do I make a copy of this on uSD card such that I flash another BBB with a 
different emmc chip.

Is the workflow like this:
1. Boot up known good Kingston BBB with custom image.
2. Insert a uSD card => 4GB
3. execute  /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC# 
./beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh 
4. Insert this card into a new BBB that needs to be flashed?

Am I understanding this properly?

For this flasher image:

This rsync based script is what runs behind the scenes..
