I purchased some Sandisk 4Gb Micro-SD cards and once again wrote the pickle.img file to it, but no computer recognizes the disk nor will the BeagleBoard-xM boot. Still looking for ideas? Kevin On Sun, Jul 17, 2011 at 4:05 PM, Kevin Walsh <w8khw1@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I have been trying to create a bootable Micro-SD card with pickle.img for a BeagleBoard-Xm, but not having any luck. I have tried writing the image from WinXP (with dd), from Mac OSX and from RHEL6. It takes about an hour to write the image no matter which platform - with the same result. It doesn't work.My last attempts have been on RHEL6. Below is the output from fdisk after writing the image. It shows both partitions and that part 1 is marked as bootable. But the device will not mount on RHEL, not will it boot the BeagleBoard.
Can anybody lend a clue as to where I'm going wrong?
