Good afternoon,
We have the BeagleBone Black (BBB) board and we are trying to change the
OS of eMMC.
We found to images for the BBB board, one is a Debian image and the
other is an Ubuntu image.
First, by pressing Power Button (S3) and BOOT switch (S2) for 10 seconds
after power on, the Debian image uploaded (quickly) to eMMC and loaded,
checked by SSH connection.
To change to Ubuntu image, following the same procedure above, we left
the BBB running after the status LEDs starts to blink randomly. After
about 3 hours, we checked and the BBB board still boot by the Debian.
Please, could you tell us what's wrong?
Best regards,
Robson Pereira
You must power the board off. Pull the power. Press the boot button and then apply power.
You need to make sure the image is a flashing image, one that copies the files to the eMMC if you want to copy it to the eMMC.

Gerald,
How do you make a flashing image versus just a regular boot image? Also, is it possible to take the regular boot image, then ssh, and then copy the /media files to the /boot directory
would this work also?

I will leave this up to the SW folks to answer…
