beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh errors

[rifotu]

hello,

I get a lot of errors when running the beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh script.
Most of the errros are like below.
what can be a reason for this kind of error?

ERROR: sys/power/image_size failed verification -- update discarded.

the summary at the end is like below

@rifotu please add these details:

cat /etc/dogtag

latest version of beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh ?

update via:

cd /opt/scripts/
git pull

[rifotu]

great!

git pull did the trick

between, below is the dogtag output

I was a little bit rash with my statement
the beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh script runs fine and exists without problems.
I powered off / on my BBB, the light sequence effect kicked in and after some time BBB powered itself down.

I removed the sd card and powered the BBB. It seems that the image was not flashed to emmc.
I tried to flash again but this time the light sequence effect didn't kick in.

I also tried pressing switch s2 but it didn't matter.
Can you please guide me about what I am doing wrong?
thanks

I am having a similar issue. Creating the image from a beaglebone (I'm using a BBGW) works just fine, and I can use the sdflasher microSD to write to the eMMC on that beaglebone. However, when I try to boot that microSD on a different BBGW, I'm getting a UUID error:

Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.

done.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:

• Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
  • Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
  • Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
• Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
  ALERT! UUID=cf27b93a-66b6-4e30-a1ee-add20bfc406c does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Good day I have the same problem, I have a beagle that was set up in 2015 with kernel version 3.8.13-bone79.

This is what happens if I run the script

looks like your microSD wasn't plugged in..

Good day Robert The SD was plugged in, this is a brand new BeagleBone Black Wireless and is giving me endless problems. You cannot install anything to it as there is no space. Every attempt to re-flash the eMMC so far has failed Regards Anton

@Antonstr yes the out of box lxqt image doesn't leave much room.. Most users use an external microSD or start with the iot image.

BTW, since the re-flash is failing, please run:

sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

Regards,

[Antonstr]

Good day Robert Thank you Robert I eventually managed to find a version that flashed. Regards Anton

Hello Robert,
I'm having some trouble with it too:

flasher_output.txt

This part looks like the error:

Replying to myself and anyone else that ran into this error with the BBB:
It works now.

Changes:

• cd /opt/scripts && git pull
• connected the BBB to a proper power supply (5V/4A) via the barrel plug connector
• ran the script again and it works fine so far

Robert, thank you for a very useful script!

I used to be able to clone my "golden" beaglebone to new beagle bones to create duplicates for my project.
However after some time I now have newer BBB's and I can't install my SDcard image anymore.
(I created the SDcard on my original BBB using the tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC script. (I first did a git pull in /opt/scripts).

When I insert the SD card in a new Beaglebone I get this error:

The UUID is the UUID of the emmc from the original beaglebone (where I created the SDcard from).
The new beaglebone has a differnet UUID.
When I'm dropped into the shell, i see there are no /dev/mmcblk1* nodes.

My old BBB has linux 3.8.13-bone70
i tried to reinstall all old software on the newer 4.x debian but I can't my old *dts files (for all the custom hardware that is attached to the BBB) working in the newer environment.

@btrhad 3.8.13-bone70 with new hardware, same old bug discussed many times on the beagleboard google group..

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/beagleboard

bone70 doesn't support newer eMMC models:
