Beaglebone not booting after reimage

Postby ceb » Wed May 02, 2012 2:15 pm

Beaglebone was working fine both on serial and LAN.

I reimaged the SD drive from the Mac using xz -dkc Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beaglebone-2012.04.22.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/disk1.
That seemed fine.

When I plug in the card to the bone, it blinks maybe 2 seconds and then hangs; a LED remains lit or stays dark.

Did the board fry itself, or is it me?

Thanks for your help.

hmm did you overwrite the original image on the microSD card (vs using a new/different card) or can you re-boot from that?

It's the original card.

I can see the FAT files on the Mac.

And I can see the Linux partition using diskutil list.

Thanks for your help.

Found the problem. I was loading up the newest version. And that version is buggy. See BeagleBoard on Google Groups.

Older version boots just fine.
