Beaglebone Blue Bricked

jomoenginer

So, I loaded the latest Debian image for the Beaglebone boards, Debian 9.5 2018-10-07 4GB SD LXQT, and was using this for a short bit, but for some reason after trying to run a QT compiled program via remote ssh the BBBlue froze and will not boot any more.  I powered off the board and when it powers on only the Green and Red LEDS from the status bank stay constantly on and the Battery LEDs flash a bit but then 2 stay on constantly; CHG and the one labeled 75.

I have removed all of the EduMIP connections from the board as well as a n LCD that was connected but still nothing happens.  This board does not have the FTDI connections like the Black so I do not have a way to get a console to it to see if it is locking up somewhere.  

 

I've tried removing the SD card as well as use a known good one but still no luck. 

 

This board was running fine for sometime now so I am not sure what happened.  It was not until I loaded the new image that I ran into an issue.

 

Anyone else run into this issue with the Blue?

  • That's disappointing if the design doesn't have UART console pins : (

    I don't have a BB-Blue, but was wondering, does it make any difference if a battery is also connected, as well as the 12V supply? With the original BBB design, if it was modified for battery operation, then the battery needed to be present even if it wasn't charged. Probably the BB-Blue design is different but it could be worth a try.

    There are a couple of UARTs mapped to JST connections on the Blue.  I'll have to see if I rig a FTDI to JSt connection to one of these to see if there is any console output.

     

    As far as power, I've tried with and without the battery connected while the 12v supply was connected.  I also, tried running with just the battery as well as with just the USB connected.  Each has the same result with the Blue not booting.
