I will buy a new Class 10 microSD card soon. But actually, previously, I had used the same class 2 card earlier and it worked in BBB after flashing for 50 minutes with the image (BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img). But this time, it was flashing for more than 1 hour and 30 minutes and even after that all the LED's did not glow finally. Only after many unsuccessful attempts of flashing BBB eMMC by formatting the microSD card using Windows 7 (FAT/FAT32) and using Win32 image installer, I tried the cygwin to write the image (using dd command). Also, previously, I used HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to format my card and then used Win32 image installer. After this process, I removed my card and inserted to check the files inside, but Windows 7 popped up to say 'The card needs to be formatted to be used'.

Actually, I installed the image ( eMMC flasher : BeagleBone Black: v3.14.26-ti-r43 kernel with updated image 2015-01-06) from the link http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black. Actually, all the LEDs glowed in cyclon pattern after 5 minutes of the flashing process. > > I'm guessing you have putty setup for ssh over usb? > Yes exactly. Actually, I have already posted a question in this link few days earlier: https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email#!searchin/beagleboard/Raj_RB/beagleboard/9PWK96YLkzA/xvLpPewQSbUJ I have followed exactly all the steps in the youtube link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-NEPiZDSx8) and it worked earlier with the (2014-05-14 release) Debian but not now with the same release also.

Do you mean that I should use the image dated *2014-12-31, BBB Rev C (4GB eMMC) *in the link " http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Image_Testing_Snapshots"; instead of "BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2015-01-06-2gb.img" as 'usb - ssh [ ]' is not enabled?
