    Either a bad SD card or a bad image. chkvsk What software did you use to build the image with?

    I successfully used this image a couple of times now: https://www.element14.com/community/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdebian.beagleboard.org%2Fimages%2Fam57xx-debian… It's from here: https://beagleboard…

    chkvsk , I would suggest you use this image ( https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/am57xx-debian-9.9-lxqt-armhf-2019-08-03-4gb.img.xz ) for the BB-AI as Sean_Miller suggested. This is available here …

    Your snapshot says 'missing modules'. It might be a bad image. Try flashing the latest image again.

    PS: In case your image that is pre-flashed iìon the eMMC is one of recent, you might only have to update it manually without going through the hurdle of flashing again.

    I've tried maybe 5 different (iot and lxqt) Images with no success. As I mentioned above, had no issues with flashing BBBs and BBGs before and now.

    Did you ever boot and use it from the flash storage without the card installed?

     

    Here's a post that describes /dev/mmcblk…:

    https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1022062/jetson-tx1/is-there-any-information-about-dev-mmcblk1p1-and-mmcblk0p1-/

     

    If you didn't boot into flash and make any tweaks, my only thought left would be to be absolutely sure the card is seated.  After try that, I'd have to assume there's a pin broken in the SD slot.

     

    See ya',

    Good news. Everything is working no. I used 8GB SD card instead of 4GB. Solution was simple, but not obvious. (Or I just missed something...)
    Thank you for your help.

    My bad...didn't know the 4 gig image would have burned without a verification error.  Live and learn.  I'll add that into my "Survival guide".

    I discovered with other single board computers that not all microSD cards are created equal, there's variable sizes even among the 4gB and 8gB, and even 16gB ranges, sometimes by only a few bytes, sometimes by more.

     

    'dd', the linux command, will just dump data at the destination until it can't write to it anymore (I think) and ends up in situations like this.

     

    'dd' can be useful in that way, and sometimes not useful,

    My experience has been that dd will report an error if it runs out of space when writing to "of" if it is a block device.
