Just a heads up:
The newest revision of the BeagleBone Green uses a newer spec of the eMMC.
For most kernel's this is a seamless hardware upgrade.
Except for our ancient 3.8.13 based kernel.
So I've pushed out a new release, and tested it on 1 new bbg board:

Out of interest, what was the fix / what fails if a an old kernel is
booted on a new board?
On 3.8.13-bone79:
mmc1: unrecognised EXT_CSD revision 7
and then eMMC would not show up..

Ok, thanks - Can you give me a pointer to the commit fixing it?
and here's the wheezy image with the 3.8.13-bone80 kernel with support
for the newer bbg eMMC:

Regards,
Thank you very much for the fix and for the binaries! I was scratching my head the whole day trying to downgrade my new BBG (emmc chip JY976) to an older bone-debian image without any luck. Your image (7.11) downgrades nicely. Thanks again.
I’ve now mirrored this to http://beagleboard.org/latest-images, but moved it down below the Jessie images. I also hope to soon get some new Jessie images recommended for all manufacturers to update to for future shipments.
Is there a simple way put this kernel file into the “beagleboneblack_save_emmc.zip” file?
I use the BBB eMMC extractor from this site:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents
and it works perfectly on all the BBB that I have, but BBG gives me the “unrecognised EXT_CSD revision 7” error
I’ve tried extracting the rootfs and kernel from the bone70 and repackaging it with every combination of zImage and vmlinuz I can find.
Ended up wasting about 5 hours of time with no success.
