Hi,
I have a debian image I built with custom device tree and code that I have created. I have copied and flashed this onto new beaglebones using this tool:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents
This worked great untill a recent shipment of BBB REV C from element 14. I can see a difference a between the two boards where the emmc chips are different the 'old rev c' has a kingston chip whereas the 'new rev c' has a different one with a number 4LA18 JWA06 and M with a circle.
When I use the tool mentioned above I get the proper led sequence tell me the emmc is being flashed (blinking once a second, then goes solid when finished). On these new board the LED sequence starts off right but goes solids very quickly and seemingly no image has been copied?
What am I missing here??
Cheers,
Matt

dd based image tools can't handle this. Use the rsync "flashers"...

This rsync based script is what runs behind the scenes..

Sorry I should have been more clear.
So on a known good beaglebone that I have my custom debian installed on how do I make a copy of this on uSD card such that I flash another BBB with a different emmc chip.
Is the workflow like this:
1. Boot up known good Kingston BBB with custom image.
2. Insert a uSD card => 4GB
3. execute /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC# ./beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh
4. Insert this card into a new BBB that needs to be flashed?
Am I understanding this properly?

Hi Robert,
I am attempting this process again but now am getting:
/opt/scripts/tools# ./beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh
Error: script halting, system unrecognized...
How do I fix this?

Ok I see now. Use the script that is /opt/scripts/tools/emmc.
One more question. The reason I was trying this tool again is that my custom debian image stopped auto connecting to my computer via usb.
I am running Ubuntu on my desktop and the little network icon just seams to be cycling thru trying to establish a connection. It never seams to quite get there.
Any ideas?
