    Hello,

    I setup my beaglebone before and it was working.
    After a long time not using it i put in the sd card with the os (assuming it needed it ) by mistake and plugged the BB in.
    Then i unplugged it while the indicator leds were flashing like they do when the os is being flashed.
    Now i cant access the BB with OR without the sd card.
    How can i fix this or how can i reset the BB so i cant start all over and flash the BB like you describe in instructions.

    regards
    Janberk

    That’s a very good question. It probably is a foundational problem with the Beaglebone chip that it has half an operating system on it – potentially preventing it from booting.
    I do not know how in particular to fix it, perhaps there are other beaglebone users (unrelated to Chi.Bio) who have had the same problem online. If it isn’t taking a new flasher SD card then perhaps your only option is to buy a new beaglebone (they are not particularly expensive on their own)!

    Sorry for my late answer.

    So in the worst case scenario it would work if i bought a new BB black and i could follow the exact steps from ur Software pdf without the need of any other setup regarding software?
    The only difference would be that my username:password is debian:temppwd?

    That is correct!
    The software setup instructions in fact assume that you are starting with a completely stock-standard Beaglebone, so you should be able to follow them as written.
