[ERROR] Octavo Red doesn’t launch image from SDcard

[Manuel.ATS.Europe]

Hey folks!

I created a backup of my emmc by using a script I created:

#!/bin/sh
echo timer > /sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:usr3/trigger

#un-comment the following line to perform a backup
dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=16M | gzip -c > /mnt/SD/BBG-eMMC-$RANDOM.img.gz

sync
echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:usr3/trigger

I put the image file that the Octavo Red Board generated into an SDcard by using Win32 Disk Manager and I inserted it in the SDcard slot of the board. I powered it and it doesn’t launch the image. It turns D1 on and blinks D7 constantly.

I’ve done this process before and it perfectly worked. Actually, it works with a previous software version I backuped some weeks ago but it just does not work with the last backup. I tried to backup the information and upload it many times but the error keeps showing up.

Do you maybe know you to do solve it?

Hey Manuel,

The SD card could have failed. Can you use a different SD card to see if that works?

If that doesn’t work, the best way to debug this would be to attach a USB to UART connector to the board and look at the console output of the board with the SD card that is failing. Please post some logs if you can.

Best,

Neeraj
