**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 06 03:00:03 2017 Jun 06 03:18:34 o/ Jun 06 03:30:02 nerdboy: I appear to be mistaken in that the image is Pi-specific. Jun 06 03:30:13 It's an armhfp image. Jun 06 03:30:51 with a bootloader? Jun 06 03:33:00 It has a volume _/boot Jun 06 03:33:07 With a folder grub inside. Jun 06 03:33:13 So... I think so? Jun 06 03:42:44 grub is atypical on arm, not sure bb supports anything efi-ish Jun 06 03:43:06 you need u-boot and a reasonable kernel Jun 06 03:43:22 Okay. Jun 06 03:43:32 Suggestions as to how I might acquire those? Jun 06 03:43:52 https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black Jun 06 03:47:05 tar your current rootfs now and use it for that step above ^^ Jun 06 07:03:16 actually by default it will use the u-boot on eMMC, whose bootscript defaults to booting the linux system on uSD card if it recognizes it as bootable, so it suffices to have a suitable kernel and /boot/uEnv.txt Jun 06 07:04:29 to force it to also grab u-boot from uSD, hold down the S2 button during power-on (you can let go a few ms after the power led turns on) or wipe sector 256 of eMMC Jun 06 07:12:47 a generic armhf kernel *may* work Jun 06 08:23:35 narwhalz0111: simply observing the boot process may give a sufficient hint as to why u-boot considered your card to be unbootable Jun 06 08:24:10 fit may be that the files it needs (kernel, device tree, initramfs if needed) weren't in the place it expected them Jun 06 08:24:40 in any of the places it expected them I mean, it checks several Jun 06 11:02:06 hi all is there any alternatives to emmc chip on BBB ? the KE4CN2H5A-A58 is obsolete Jun 06 11:02:45 if you make your own board you can put any eMMC chip you want there Jun 06 11:03:44 in fact beaglebones currently manufactured use a newer chip Jun 06 11:05:49 what is the newer chip on that BB? Jun 06 11:06:18 kingston EMMC04G-S100 Jun 06 11:08:40 checked with arrow, this part is also discontinued Jun 06 11:08:55 so why do you care which particular chip the BBB uses? Jun 06 11:09:20 i don't care, i can pick anyone i chose? there isn't any specifc characteristics i need? Jun 06 11:09:20 they're just using whatever they could buy cheapest in bulk Jun 06 11:10:55 it will also be automatically supported by the kernel? Jun 06 11:10:57 maybe nowadays you may need to verify it supports 3.3V I/O, but I think it's still standard Jun 06 11:11:00 yes Jun 06 11:11:37 just to make sure, can you give me some active part number for reference? Jun 06 11:11:45 wide compatibility is the big benefit of eMMC Jun 06 11:12:35 it really doesn't matter, pick any manufacturer, pick whatever eMMC size you prefer Jun 06 11:13:11 I do think eMMC comes in two different physical package sizes, so if you pick one that uses the larger package make sure there's enough room for it on the pcb Jun 06 11:13:49 you may also care about other features, or maybe you don't -- I don't know Jun 06 11:14:42 there's fancy eMMC that has health monitoring and such Jun 06 11:14:52 and there's kingston which just focuses on being cheap ;) Jun 06 11:18:21 there's also performance differences... e.g. the old kingston eMMC the bbb uses isn't very fast (although the micron eMMC they used before that was even slower) Jun 06 11:19:44 skhynix makes feature-rich eMMC that's FAST, the am335x would actually be the bottleneck with that -> https://www.skhynix.com/eng/product/nandEMMC.jsp Jun 06 14:34:58 I've downloaded the iot image of debian 8.6 and with the disk32diskimager I make the boot microSD, but the beaglebone doesn't boot Jun 06 14:35:16 it just stays with the 4 user leds on Jun 06 14:36:04 and is not with that image only, is with every image I've downloaded that is not eMMC flasher Jun 06 17:21:23 jonathan: weird Jun 07 01:22:31 Hello? Jun 07 01:25:48 I'm having an issue. I updated my BeagleBone Black Wireless to the latest Debian image but now I require a password for root to connect to SSH? Does anybody know what the default password is? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jun 07 03:00:03 2017
