[beagleboard] 2gb image for 4gb BBB?

2015-01-16 Thread Ridemywideglide
I'm looking at updates for the BBB, and the eMMC flasher versions all say 2gb. Why is this when it's supposed to be a 4gb eMMC? I also tried downloading https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2014-12-19/lxde-4gb/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.7-lxde-4gb-armhf-2014-12-19-4gb.img.xz from here http

Not to Mention that the RevC is probably in the minority of the total boards sold to the public. RevA / RevB both had 2GB eMMCs on board . . On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 4:35 PM, Robert Nelson wrote: > On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 5:24 PM, Ridemywideglide > wrote: > > I'm looking at updates for the BBB,

I'm using a 128gb card so I meet the minimum size, but this image won't go onto the BBB for some reason. Since it's your image, can you tell me how to get it onto the BBB? Thanks On Friday, January 16, 2015 at 4:36:04 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 5:24 PM, Ridemyw

Yea is was the only spare I had laying around.. It's installed the 5-14 image several times so it should be fine.. I have a couple 8 gig'rs on the way so maybe I'll try again when they get here.. On Friday, January 16, 2015 at 5:16:52 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 6

Ok, so as a note to all those out there . . . to resize one of the 2G images to *any* sdcard size, The below "guide" will work. However, this is only tested on a single partition image, and if using a 2 partition image, you need to use the appropriate partition. **USE AT YOUR OWN RISK* *One single

Or you could just boot the uSD card with the 2G uSD image and run: sudo /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh ...then worst-case you only mess up your BeagleBone and not your x86 PC. On 1/16/2015 8:45 PM, William Hermans wrote: > Ok, so as a note to all those out there . . . to resize one of th

Anyway, I think it is commendable that people like Robert, take their time to build these images for us, and write scripts to make things such as resizing a partition bigger. You too Charles for the work you've done. Truly. However, running script(s) to do these things for us, teaches us nothing.
