Setting up the BeagleY-AI

Hello Beagle Community,

I am following the BeagleY-AI’s quick start guide and it does not work for me. The BB Imager is v1.0.13 and I am flashing BeagleY-AI Debian 13 v7.0.x-k3 XFCE into my SD card. Everything looks fine until I am booting the board up. It remains a constant green (not flashing) on the LED and I cannot do anything about it.

Does anyone have a clue on how to deal with this?

Did you click the customization tab and setup the first username/password?

Are you connecting via usb/hdmi, or an adapter?

Regards,

Hi Robert,

Yes I did and along with the WiFi and USB options selected. The keymap, timezone and SSH auth key were not used. The sysconf.txt file was also unaltered after flashing in my SD card (regular red/grey SanDisk 32gb).

It is connected to my Windows PC directly via USB-C-to-C. Troubleshooting steps suitable for Windows will be very helpful, thank you!

Do you have the raspberry pi debug probe? BeagleY-AI Quick Start — BeagleBoard Documentation it’s really hard to debug anything with just the typec cable.

Unfortunately I do not have one (yet?). I shall exhaust all my setup options before resorting to getting additional hardware.

Are you able to do a clean rebuild of the DebianOS with the same latest bb-imager? If you are able to then I can at least narrow it down to the issue being purely mine and not with the steps.

I have an intern using the xfce image as is.

The other option while you wait, give another microSD a try..

Truly appreciate your hasty response on this matter. You are indeed right that trying another microSD card helped, but just not quite sure what is wrong with the first one for this particular purpose. Thank you Robert! :grin:

I’m glad another microSD worked, usually it’s a -110 mmc error on bootup.. Both u-boot and the kernel init the microSD, right now some microSD still do not seem to survive the re-init procedure. Both are still being worked on (this is a generic problem on all TI K3 boards).

Regards,
