I am having a simlar issue with my custom board based off the BBB. I think the issue is with using MMC1 the TRM for the am335x hints that the ROM uses Raw Mode therefore i believe it will jump to some sectors before your partion which starts at 2048... I was able to get MLO to start but i had

Well - I have done all the above and even done a dd=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M to erase the whole emmc. None of these steps help in booting only from SD automatically, so I shall assume this is a HW issue and create an RMA... Thanks, Martin -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.o

The symptoms you describe seem to suggest that the TI ROM bootstrap is somehow hanging while trying to load MLO from the eMMC. If it managed to successfully run MLO you should see some console output, while if the boot from the eMMC failed cleanly (i.e. didn't work but didn't hang) it would mo

I reran the flashing, but this time before disconnecting power I ran: dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/sda bs=1M to create a 1:1 copy of the files installed to eMMC on a 2G SD card. Again the boot rom eMMC fails, but if I add the SD card and boot from it - uboot and later the OS comes up all right...

Thing is that I have tried the default Angstrom and other images as well - even those that flash the eMMC from SD automatically via emmc.sh. None have been successfull - that is why I have taken the image that is supposedly also able to get installed directly to eMMC. I will now give the image o

Hi! OK - I have now taken the minimal image of Debian from: http://www.armhf.com/index.php/boards/beaglebone-black/ And I have copied it to the emmc as well as to an SD card. Again the same observation: the image boots from SD, but nothing happens on the eMMC. Checksums of the boot partitions

Nothing - everything is fine! Actually (as posted) the partitions have the SAME checksum (the one of the SD that boots, and the one on the eMMC which does not) - that said: being a "dd" copy they should be identical... So it seems to me as if there is an issue with some sort of pre-boot loader
