Dear All,

I am unable to flash Debian 7.9 to new Beaglebone Green from SD card. I have un commented the line in uEnv.txt.
I get this write error (mmcblk1 not found). But i am able to flash debian 8.4 to emmc. It would be great if someone could help.

Regards,
Abhilash H

Hi Robert,

I have downloaded the image and its working fine.
But the issue is i downloaded https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/releases/tag/3.8.13-bone80 and recompiled it.
I changed the boot up logo and recompiled the kernel, but still i am able to see the old logo only.
I dont know whats the problem. It would be great if could help me out.

Sounds like you didn't correctly copy the kernel/modules/dtb..

Look at this for reference and double check:

Hi Robert,

These steps i followed.
I flashed the SD card using this image https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/release/2016-06-15/lxde-4gb/
I downloaded source from https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/releases/tag/3.8.13-bone80 .
Then i built the kernel. And then i installed the newly built kernel to SD card using ./tools/install_kernel.sh command.
But it did not change. Its showing the old logo only.

Ah, so you didn't follow the directions, re-read my previous message
and follow kernel/modules/dtb install instructions..
