If you start with a "microSD/standalone" image, then you are ready to boot and run from the card.
If you start with a "flasher" image, then you will need to edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file to keep it from flashing your eMMC. The other thing to know is that you may need to expand the partitions on the card, so as to be able to access the entire memory space of the card. If you run df -h and can only see about 4 GB of memory space, follow the instructions at http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD On the next reboot, you should see the entire card as available memory. --- Graham ==== On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 8:44 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the hint. > *> "set the SD card as boot media"*: > I did not have to do anything apart from flashing the SD with the relevant > image, insert in the slot and power on.
