I have been trying to flash my BBB for days now. I have tried the latest 4gb and 2gb images from http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian
I format my 32gb card using the HP tool with FAT32 (only fat32 and NTFS are available for selection). I plug in power from 5v adapter while holding the user/boot button. initially everything looks fine. I get the wave pattern of user LEDs. about 10 minutes later all of the LEDs except user 1 LED are off and LED 1 is on solid. I’m not sure which BBB rev this is. Is there a way to find out? here’s a dump from serial debug
