Hi all,
I just bought a PB2 Industrial and have been playing with it today. I had flashed a microSD card with Debian, got that all going including internet via USB tethering etc. I went to copy the microSD to eMMC by using the beagle-flasher tool, but this did not work – it would not boot from eMMC alone after flashing. So I put the microSD back in and it booted as usual. Once in, I wiped the eMMC clean with dd but I’m guessing the bootloader or something important was there, because now it will not boot at all…any ideas?
TIA, Jake
Can you share a serial bootup log with only the eMMC?
Also share:
sudo beagle-version
You can use the “USR” button to force microSD boot..
Regards,

I noticed that bb-beagle-flasher was updated recently so I tried it again and it worked just fine! You guys fixed it, whatever it was. Thank you!

I can try to do the serial log when I have more time. I currently don’t have a serial adapter/cord to do that though

Thanks for the report, ended up getting an industrial 2 at EW. Will tag a new release when I get back this weekend.
