After the discussion about slow browsers on the BBB I thought I’d install an older version to see if there was the same ‘slowness’ as I don’t remember it being that pokey.
Although I can boot from the SD image to the console connected with a 3.3V TTL to USB from the on board connector the video never shows up after the initial ICON on the top left corner. Once I’ve logged in
debian@beaglebone:~$ cat /etc/dogtag
BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2019-08-03

Here I’ve shutdown and restarted after editing uEnv.txt to force programming the eMMC. It fails with the topic error.

Is there a way to rebuilt the eMMC? I can boot a working newer image.
