Beaglebone black not detected when plugged into PC

Hi All,
Please help me out. I was rebuilding the kernel of Beaglebone but I followed 2-3 links together instead of following one link. I had the SD card on the beaglebone which seems to have been corrupted. When I plug in my Beaglebone into my PC, it does not detect and no mass storage device recognized on my PC. It also did not detect on 2 other systems. When we usually plug in the BBB, the Leds flash but now they are not flashing and the power is flowing but now I dont know what the heck is going on.
I have Windows 7 as my host and Ubuntu on my VMWARE. But it seems it is not getting detected. Can anyone tell me a solution how to enable everything back to normal or is it I have to give a wake up call to the board? Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Suman Saurabh Mohanty.

  1. Insert your SD card with a good image of Angstrom or Ubuntu.
  2. Hold boot button down
  3. Hold power button down until the power LED flashes
  4. Wait until you see all 4 LEDs light up and release the boot button
  5. Your BBB will now load off of the SD card image and you should have unbricked your BBB.

Hi all,
I flashed my Beaglebone Black with the latest Debian image. But when I connect it to a PC (through USB) its not recognized. Whenever I connect it to the PC with the MicroSD inserted inside the board, the PC recognizes it. Please help me out to solve this problem.

Thank you

I’ve flashed my emmc with the “BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-16.04.2-console-armhf-2017-04-07-2gb.img”; everything seems to be working as expected, but this guy now doesn’t show up as a USB drive on my Win7 laptop.

Not sure what I’ve overlooked. I can ssh, the usb0 is there, ethernet over usb is there, re-running the driver installation and the drivers all say installed and fine. The laptop even “chimes” when the board powers up, but no USB drive shows up.

What files/modules would the OS need to make him show up as a USB drive? I actually want access to the MLO file.

Change the variable actual_image_file to the partition you'd like to share:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh#L518

/opt/scripts/boot/*

??? None of that makes any sense.
