Aug 11 13:53:51 <kona> set_: woo good job
Aug 11 23:13:00 <IDrinkMilk> hi, i seem to be having an issue flashing a new version of debian to the rev c beagle that i've had sitting in a box for the last year and a half or so... i've tried flashing both the vendor debian image and the emmc flasher debian image from elinux.org. most of the images seem to fail on the rsync install, and the one i have going on now seems to be stuck on rsync for the last two hours. not sure if this is
Aug 11 23:13:01 <IDrinkMilk> a failure on the board?
Aug 12 00:39:38 <zmatt> IDrinkMilk: ehh, you're not entirely clear... how are you installing using rsync?
Aug 12 00:39:56 <zmatt> oh, or does rcn's flasher use rsync?
Aug 12 00:41:43 <zmatt> ah it does
Aug 12 00:43:22 <zmatt> I'm not sure what could cause it to get stuck on rsyncing rather than producing *some* error message
Aug 12 00:56:54 <IDrinkMilk> that's what's displaying on the output from the hdmi port when i try to flash the emmc with either elinux.org's debian install or beagleboard's
Aug 12 00:57:12 <IDrinkMilk> hung rsyncing from the microsd to the a temp filesystem
Aug 12 00:58:51 <IDrinkMilk> tbh i'm thinking of just giving up with this, can't seem to get any image booting on this board
Aug 12 01:00:00 <zmatt> huh, you can't even boot an image normally from sd card?
Aug 12 01:00:11 <zmatt> (i.e. the latest stretch-iot image)
Aug 12 01:07:28 <IDrinkMilk> yeah, booting via sd card seems to work with that image
Aug 12 01:07:47 <IDrinkMilk> just seems to hang or outright fail when booting with the emmc flasher uncommented
Aug 12 01:14:11 <zmatt> weird, I've never heard of a failed eMMC other than wear-out
Aug 12 01:33:06 <IDrinkMilk> yeah, it's weird...
Aug 12 01:33:17 <IDrinkMilk> been in a box for a year and a half, never turned on
Aug 12 01:48:54 <CoffeeBreakfast> Tin whiskers?
Aug 12 01:53:22 <IDrinkMilk> don't see any looking at the board
Aug 12 01:57:30 <CoffeeBreakfast> That is an interesting thing... I don't think it is your case, and I don't know if they can grow between the balls of the eMMC (where you can't see)
Aug 12 02:07:46 <IDrinkMilk> yeah, it's just strange is all. wish i didn't spend as much time as i did trying to troubleshoot this pos
Aug 12 02:07:51 <zmatt> CoffeeBreakfast: that doesn't really explain these symptoms.  either the board would be dead, or communication with eMMC would fail hence flashing couldn't even start
Aug 12 02:08:39 <zmatt> getting stuck halfway is really weird
