Updating Old A6 BeagleBone Black

I’ve dug up and old BeagleBone Black A6 that has Angstrom on the eMMC. It won’t boot off an SD with a current image (** Invalid partition 2 **).

How do I update it to run a current image?

Hold the "boot" button, insert power. :wink:

Regards,

I’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. Here’s what I get:

It's still reading from the eMMC first. .:wink:

Sometimes my thumb doesn't work right, then i just short the pin
connected to the push button to GND

Regards,

Well that was the problem, it’s now happily reflashing the eMMC.

Thanks for the help…
