Hi Birton,

What image are you using?  After downloading the image and unzip'ing the image, what is the md5sum (use Linux utility "md54um <imagename>"   

It's possible that you are getting a truncation of the file.  Here is the latest md5um of  BBB image that I downloaded:

md5sum BBB_Allstar_1.2.1.img
99351fca14d84c608be6420d556e967d  BBB_Allstar_1.2.1.img

md5sum BBB_Allstar_v1.2.1.zip
7757d3ad29ee4635698d91c2dc4285ac  BBB_Allstar_v1.2.1.zip

For Linux systems in creating the image, I unzip the image and use the dd command (as root) as follows:

unzip BBB_Allstar_v1.2.1.zip
dd if=BBB_Allstar_1.2.1.img of=/dev/sdh  bs=1M

note: the device in the above example is the one my system recognizes for the sd card.

Also, if you are creating the image on a Linux system, you can check the image in a couple of ways...  Once the image is created, remove and re-insert the sd-card. Determine the device that the sd-card is being recognized. In my case, it's the "/dev/sdh" device.  You can then check the partitions:

fsck -C -f /dev/sdh1   (fat file system)
fsck -C -f /dev/sdh2   (ext4 file system)

Also note, some Linux distributions will automatically mount the sd-card.  You will need to umount the file system prior to running file check (fsck).

I suspect that the image may be corrupt.


73, Happy Holidays,

Hi,

 

Using these instructions, I’ve tried to reload my BBB with the new version.

 

http://www.crompton.com/hamradio/BeagleBoneBlackAllstar/#image

 

Hardware: BBB Rev C

 

SDCARD: 8bg

 

Actions:

1.       Burned the img to 2 different cards (including the one I’m running) using Win32Imager

2.       Burned the img to 2 different cards (including the one I’m running) using linux dd

 

Result:

1.       Blue Power Light on

2.       NO Other Blue Light Activity

3.       NO Boot

4.       Nothing on HDMI Display

 

Fall back: Re-Burned the original image to same card and system back running.

 

Suggestions?

 

Birton, N6UG
