Screwed up the default image on the Beaglebone

Hello ,

I have accidentally deleted the /boot partition in the beaglebone black. I am afraid it doesn’t boot. So I would like to know how i can be able to get the beaglebone black up and running a linux flavor (any) ? Do you think the u-boot has gone too ? AFAIK, if the u-boot is gone, i should be using a jumper pin / JTAG to load u-boot and then everything else becomes easy to load any linux kernel with the file system.

If you upgrade to the latest snapshot:

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-11-11

The MLO/u-boot.img is now hidden, so you can delete the "/boot" folder
to your heart's delight and u-boot will still load...

I was using the default image that came up with it. As far as i remember,
the linux was 3.8.17-beagle or something. I should be getting a power adapter
for this one and will check the u-boot prompt over serial. I will be in luck if i
see it.

Thanks!

The factory (may release)

Store MLO/u-boot.img under: /boot/uboot/(MLO/u-boot.img)

So if you deleted /boot/ u-boot won't show up..

We changed the bootloader location to help users like you, who
accidentally deleted /boot/
