I downloaded a new image (bone-debian-8.4-iot-armhf-2016-05-13-4gb) and wrote it to an SD card using Win32DiskImager. I know this is a very old image, I have some software written for that version which is incompatible due to changes to the cape manager related stuff. I don’t have the time to update it yet.
I then inserted it into a Beaglebone Black and powered on holding the S2 button. As expected the board booted onto the SD card. The lights are behaving normally, I can access the “Getting Started” drive. However, I am unable to SSH to or even ping ‘192.168.7.2’. I have been able to communicate via the JTAG serial header.
I have flashed (bone-eMMC-flasher-debian-10.3-iot-armhf-2020-04-06-4gb) onto the same board and had no issues. There is nothing wrong with the Beaglebone, the cables, or any other hardware.
The following is the JTAG output on boot to Debian 8.
