How to use the tuned image from the old BeagleBone on the new BeagleBone Black

General Discussion

Hello everyone, I’ve run into a problem.

I’ve been using a tuned Debian 7.8 image on my BeagleBone Black Industrial board just fine.

But I noticed that starting around the end of 2025, the BeagleBone Black upgraded and switched to Debian 12.

So my existing Debian 7.8 image won’t boot, and even if I force-flash it to the eMMC, it just freezes.

After looking into it a bit, it seems the bootloader side has changed somehow.
Does anyone know a way to get my existing Debian 7.8 tuned image working on the new BeagleBone Black via SD card boot?

Thanks for reading.

Just erase the eMMC…

Thank you for your response. I’ve tried various things like erasing the eMMC and changing the boot image, but it seems like it might be too old a version. When I checked with the U-Boot kernel, it said it booted normally, but the screen is frozen and SSH access is impossible… I’ll have to rebuild the environment from the latest image.

Share your serial boot log

답변이 온 줄 몰랐습니다.
시도했던 모든 방법이 통하지 않아
데비안 12 이미지로 새로 튜닝해서 사용중입니다.

아마 하드웨어도 바뀌면서 부트로더 시스템이 많이 바뀌었던 걸로 추정되네요

Is it a RevD? that just forces a newer Device-Tree… as long as HDMI is not used, you can force it to boot the BeagleBone Green..
