My setup up is to connect an hdmi to a monitor, and hub for keyboard and mouse. im thinking because my bbb still runs Angstrom that i am having an issue running kali since kali is debian based. i have been trying to flash debian on to the bbb so that i can try booting kali that way.
i cant get the device to flash with debian. i have looked at different videos on youtube describing the proccess and nothing has worked for me.
i download the image with the gui and use win32 to burn the image. i put the sd chip in the device holding down the boot button and 3 leds turn on and the device just sits there, no flashing or knight rider pattern. i saw some tutorials that say to get into the boot folder and change the unev.txt file through the device itself and still nothing. can someone give me a hand in getting this done? or point me to a process that has worked for them?also if you could give me some suggestions as to why kali is not booting from the sd chip that would be great.Please tell me if this is wrong as well:i want to use the BBB as a stand-alone computer with the latest version of debian. i want to pulg it into a monitor and have a keyboard and mouse with a GUI running debian. i can do this with angstrom but cant get the debian version of linux to flash and get this going.
i want to be able to insert the sd chip with kali and have it boot. so that i can continue to learn how to hack. then when im done with that i want to take the sd chip out and just run regular debian so that i can use the BBB to work with electronics.i know i can use a vm on my computer which is what i am doing now but i want to do it this way sorry for being hard headed. also i apologize for this post being all over the place.

To make it boot any SD card you need to press the usr button that is near the SD card.You are sure that you are using an image that works for arm?When it really fails to boot, the distro might be missing the required kernel modules to support the hardware.In that case, the kernel driver for the hdmi might not be loaded yet.I think the only way to debug is connect a cable to the debug terminal.You need a tty client to use the cable.That could be putty, picocom or something else.With the terminal you can inspect the booting process and see which error it gives.For some more detail on the system you might want to read the system reference manual https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/wiki/System-Reference-Manual

i cant get the device to flash with debian. i have looked at different videos on youtube describing the proccess and nothing has worked for me.This is typically the point where you want to provide more detail. Which steps did you follow exactly?What did you expect?What happened instead?Any relevant information on the version of the software you are using?

Sounds like your having lots of problems, do you have a usb serial adapter available to you too plug into j1?I've been in vacation, so replies will be late.Regards,

My understanding of the current boot scheme is that...
IF the boot-select is held down when power is applied (not just a
reset!), booting takes place entirely from the SD card -- including loading
u-boot from the SD card.
well i feel like an idiot. this whole time i thought i had a 4gb BBB and i just found the box of the kit i bought. turns out its the 2gb version. so now that i know its the 2gb version how does that change things and what are my options. i am probably gonna buy a new BBB along with a raspberry pi kit. but what can i do with the BBB that i have now. do i flash it with a different version of debian that is for the 2gb format? or should i just use it with putty?

ok. so the image i was trying to flash to my BBB was a 4gb sd chip bootable. not a flash image. if i put the 4gb sd bootable version in the sd slot then i should have seen the device boot but it didnt. i was expecting a flash process. right there i see a red flag.why would the bootable sd not boot? the image is corrupt? am i supposed to download and create the image using the BBB? Ive been doing everything on my laptop.
