Extracting eMMC Contents from BeagleBone Green Wireless

[Tom DeRensis]

I have a BeagleBone Green Wireless that I would like to replicate onto multiple other boards. To do this I was thinking of extracting the contents to an SD card and using that SD card as a master to flash the other boards. I'm trying to follow the instructions here: https://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents

Despite the confusing formatting of this page I believe I have created an SD card which should work. However, booting the device gives me the following and then reboots and repeats this process without copying the eMMC. I'm thinking either the version of u-boot supplied with the extractor is too old, or the Green Wireless is different enough from the Black that some of the files on the extractor need to change to support it. Has anyone successfully extracted contents from the BeagleBone Green Wireless or have any suggestions?
