You should check the version of the image on the microSD/eMMC by opening the ID.txt file in the FAT partition.

PocketBeagle Support

Any images after 2017-09-21 will have support for the PocketBeagle

Expanding File System Partition On A microSD

By default the microSD image is only about 2GB in size, to fully expand the partition to the full size of your microSD card simple run.

On the next reboot, [df -h] should show the full microSD card size.

Flashing eMMC

To set up the standalone microSD image to automatically flash the eMMC on powerup. Login as debian (password = temppwd) and edit /boot/uEnv.txt with nano (sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt) or your preferred editor.

In /boot/uEnv.txt:

Change to:

Optional, update Flasher Scripts:

and reboot the system, it'll flash the eMMC on the next bootup. (make sure to remove the microSD after flashing is complete, otherwise it'll just keep on re-flashing the eMMC)

Kernel Upgrade

We can't ship support for everything on release day, so we push out new kernels as fixes, support for new capes, etc are posted on the beagleboard.org mainline list.

Installing kernel headers

If you want to build a kernel module natively, you'll need to install the correct kernel headers.

In a Makefile, perform:

Loading custom capes

WARNING, this is now deprecated, please use U-Boot overlays

Due to limitations in debian wheezy's userspace, the use of an initramfs, and having firmware builtin to the kernel. It is currently not possible to load 'custom' capes via: capemgr.enable_partno=xyz. Instead an init script has been set up to load the cape/capes as soon as possible.

Built-in Cape:

Custom External Cape:

Workaround:

Privileged echo

As a normal user, you can not 'sudo echo 'something' >> /etc/privilegedfile'

Timezone

By default this image is set up to display time in utc mode. If you would like to change this to your local region.

U-Boot Overlays, which got loaded

Where did the slots file go?

Kernel Overlays are going bye-bye, too many bugs, too many race conditions, no kernel maintainers interested. We've said our farewells and U-Boot Overlays is the way forward: https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#U-Boot_Overlays With multiple parties working on the U-Boot infrastructure.

The rough transition plan is:

Stage 1 is complete, all current images use U-Boot Overlays by default. Stage 2 is currently in progress, as it is not recommended to 'load' anything into the slots file while U-Boot Overlays are in control. Stage 3, will take longer, as many applications only need to know the 'bone_capemgr' directory is available.

If you don't like the direction we are heading, simply disable, 'enable_uboot_overlays=1' in /boot/uEnv.txt..

You'll want a fairly beefy ARM system to run this script.

Output of the autobuilder can be found at http://builds.beagleboard.org.

To turn “microSD/Standalone” images into eMMC flasher images, edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the Linux partition on the microSD card and uncomment the line with cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh. Enabling this will cause booting the microSD card to flash the eMMC. “Flasher” images already enable this line. See Flashing eMMC
