Another day, another mamebone image

This will be the last update until I have time to replace the advmenu front end and streamline the OS. This build has a few more speed improvements and some sound fixes. I also fixed some problems with taking screen snapshots.

I am having a problem flashing this to BBB. I have flashed another image without a problem. Is there anything i need to do to this image other than unzip, write to sd card using win32diskimager? push the button, plug it in… never writes to the flash. I am stumped (but also very new to the beaglebone black).
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes, just uncompress and write to your SD card. You will of course need to hold the boot button to boot from SD. What error are you seeing?

Hey Frazz. I know this is a year old, but i found that the process is different for the Beaglebone Black. You have to boot into the current debian environment, and through terminal navigate to

/boot/

#sudo nano uEnv.txt

find:

##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher:
#cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

And change it to:

##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher:
cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

ctrl+x
Y
Enter

Then reboot. This should set it to auto write to emmc. just make sure you remove the SD card after you flash or it will keep flashing that image 🙂

I hope this helps everyone else that keeps searching the interwebs like i did for 4 hours…

Oops, found a problem. The start script checks to see if a USB drive is connected and adjusts the advmame config file to use the external drive. I’ll have this fixed in the next build. Here is the fix:

1) Login as root
2) cd /bin
3) rm -rf sh
4) ln -s bash sh
5) reboot

  Hello!
  
  I meet the same problem when I clicked Advmenu and it doesn’t prompt up anything. Then I triedto use “su” command in LXTerminal and it prompts me to enter password. Can you suggest how to do next?
  
  Thanks!

    Sorry, I really need to fix this issue. I’ve been working on a whole new BBB image with no X dependencies but just have not had enough time. Try the password “mame”.

      Many thanks for your quick reply while you’re busy 🙂 I can run the program with your zip files in the FAT32 formatted flash drive.
