Help
If you need any help:
- Kernel related help:
- Email Beagleboard user group *Recommended method
- #beagle: Beagle irc on freenode, accessible also by web interface (logs)
- Kernel Trees
- When asking for help, please provide some debugging information:
- U-Boot Version installed on board
- Kernel Version: uname -a
- pastebin dmesg
- Copy from serial port or use "dmesg | pastebinit" (sudo apt-get install pastebinit)
Official BeagleBoard.org Images for shipping with BeagleBone Black
Recommended Beagle Software
Mainline U-Boot:
- All old Ax, Bx, Cx and Dx boards are required to upgrade to at least these U-Boot versions.
- XM Boards have no NAND, so MLO/u-boot.img is always required on the first partition
- Directions: Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot
Debian NetInstall
Scripts:
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git cd netinstall
Device Options:
BeagleBoard --dtb omap3-beagle BeagleBoard-xM --dtb omap3-beagle-xm BeagleBoard-X15 --dtb am57xx-beagle-x15 BeagleBone (serial) --dtb am335x-bone-serial BeagleBone (video via cape) --dtb am335x-bone-video BeagleBone Black --dtb am335x-boneblack PandaBoard (A1->A3) --dtb omap4-panda PandaBoard (A4->Ax) --dtb omap4-panda-a4 PandaBoard ES --dtb omap4-panda-es
You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.
Standard System : ~455MB
Debian 8 (jessie)
Quick Install script for "board"
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb "board" --distro jessie
So For the BeagleBoard xM:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm --distro jessie
- Options:
- --firmware : installs firmware
- --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

Verify Image with:
sha256sum debian-8.6-console-armhf-2016-11-10.tar.xz 36de938ed618aeb9eb6eebaad611a187d541570733e7065f36b535b21b2af28f debian-8.6-console-armhf-2016-11-10.tar.xz
Unpack Image:

If you don't know the location of your SD card:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc
You should see something like:
Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see... fdisk -l: Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card lsblk: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 446.9G 0 part / <- x86 Root Partition ├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part └─sda5 8:5 0 18.9G 0 part [SWAP] sdd 8:48 1 3.7G 0 disk ├─sdd1 8:49 1 64M 0 part └─sdd2 8:50 1 3.6G 0 part
- In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...
Install Image:
Quick install script for [board]
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb board
board options:
- BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx - omap3-beagle
- BeagleBoard xM - omap3-beagle-xm
- BeagleBone White/Black/Green - beaglebone
- OMAP5432 uEVM - omap5-uevm
- BeagleBoard-X15 - am57xx-beagle-x15
So for the BeagleBoard xM:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm

Flasher
eMMC: BeagleBone Black/Green
This image can be written to a 2GB (or larger) microSD card, via 'dd' on linux or on windows: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager First press and hold the boot select button (next to the microSD card), then apply power. On bootup the board should indicate it has started the flashing procedure visually via a Cylon Sweep pattern shown on the 4 LED's next to the ethernet jack. Progress is reported on both the serial debug and hdmi connectors, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON. Simply remove power, remove the microSD card and Debian will now boot directly from eMMC.
Script for reference: (this is the script that writes to the eMMC)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
This script will only take about 5-6 Minutes after power on.
Notes:
- If only two LED's stay lit and nothing happens, the board has crashed due to lack of power. Retry with a 5Volt DC power supply connected.
- If the 4 LED's blink a constant pattern, the eMMC write has failed. First REMOVE ALL capes, then retry again.
