How to BRICK Beagle Bone Black

2014-01-08

Doing a apt-get update and upgrade make BBB’s internal hard disk to crash, to solve this is to make a recovery SD card and rewrite the hard disk

After a long searching for making the SD card finally followed this http://www.armhf.com/index.php/getting-started-with-ubuntu-img-file/
Installed the xz in ubuntu laptop apt-get install xz-utils
then viewed the attached sd card device name by ls /dev/sd* given it as sdb

so to run the xz, followed this http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/

xz -dkc Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img.xz > /dev/sdb

after some time exit the xz, then inserted the sd card and booted the beagle on from sd card now following this http://hipstercircuits.com/unbrick-beaglebone-black-without-erasing-emmc/
```
ssh root@192.168.7.2
gives a problem of denial
```
followed this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19494619/how-to-interact-with-two-beaglebone-black-connected-to-one-computer and made a final .ssh/config with this content
```
Host 192.168.7.* UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null StrictHostKeyChecking no
```
now ssh is working and followed again this http://hipstercircuits.com/unbrick-beaglebone-black-without-erasing-emmc/

to mount the internal hard disk with SD card running BBB

mkdir /mnt/microSD mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/microSD
cp -r /mnt/microSD/lib/modules/3.8.13-00611-gd1fc8a7-dirty/ /media/Angstrom/lib/modules/
shutdown now

but in vein, so now plan is to copy all the files in / and copy it in mms that is inside angstrom folder and reboot it without the sd card, that also didn’t turned up to correct the problem.
