I can't install the latest image on BBB

#1

I’m getting started with BeagleBone Black.

But can’t install the latest image.
I’m following http://www.beagleboard.org/getting-started#update

But in step6. I had the first problem.
The latest debian image’s MD5 is c848627722b7a5f7bc89791cc8949e3b according to download page.
(http://www.beagleboard.org/latest-images)
But in my case that image’s MD5 is 725d3fa63c0b1b0cc47b44f5c3f56238

doesn’t is matter?

And second problem is in step8.
I read http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Flashing_eMMC.
After writing image to uSD, there is no /boot/uEnv.txt
there is /uEnv.txt but there is nothing about eMMC flasher.

Now my BBB is booting with “BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-03-01” if I eject writen uSD.
And if there is no uSD BBB is booting with “rcn-ee.net console Debian Image 2015-08-17”.
(I successed to install “rcn-ee.net console Debian Image 2015-08-17” image yesterday.)

I’m sorry that I’m not good at English.

Please help getting started with BBB.

It's the md5 of the "*.img.xz"

And second problem is in step8.

there is /uEnv.txt but there is nothing about eMMC flasher.

It's in /boot/uEnv.txt which is on the ext4 partition, what you see there
is the shared windows fat partition which is un-used by the OS.

btw instead of tweaking the standalone image for flashing, just use the
flasher:

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#BBB_Rev_C_.284GB_eMMC.29

any files with the "BBB-eMMC-flasher-*" prefix automatically flashes the
eMMC on bootup..

For the web page, I recommended people convert the image manually to a
flasher image. This is only because I'm worried that people who can't
figure it out will accidentally reflash their boards.
