  • Hi Robert,

     

    I don't know the answer, but I know how to begin troubleshooting such types of issues.

    It will be worth removing any cape (in case it is interfering with the boot mode pins) and trying to start up the BBB without it.

    If that doesn't work, you could try other things like checking the supply and new image, but really you'll likely need a USB UART adapter connected to the serial console pins on the BBB. so that you can see what Linux is printing out upon startup, in case it is getting stuck somewhere. Ultimately you may need to burn a fresh image and try that, if it is getting stuck due to (say) corruption. But you won't know that for sure, until the serial output is monitored.
