@Elias_Bakken what is the best place to get the absolute latest BBB image with replicape? I have the new B board and want to get it downloaded. I remember seeing a mention recently of trying to get a new image with the latest kernel going.
James, I’m putting the final touches on the image now. I’ll upload as soon as I have verified it working!
You can grab the latest image from here if you want, I’ll work on the instructions for this: http://kamikaze.thing-printer.com/images/
Ok. Got the new image and for some reason it will not flash the MMC. Verified the user boot button is held down for a few seconds after the 4 led’s come on. We are trying and older image now as we don’t have a good uEnv to compare to.
Hm… Ok, I’ll try to download the file that was uploaded and flash it myself to see what is wrong, but it’s 2 o’clock here, so it might have to wait until tomorrow!
Never mind. Apparently the led pattern is deferent than I am use to while burning. The cylon pattern is while writing where before it use to flash a few led’s for a long time.
Yeah, it’s pretty slow to start, but if you have a Manga screen, you can connect it to get a splash screen during flashing.
Ok. Next question. With the December image we saw the login prompt with HDMI but when we went to the latest image the BBB seems to be in some sort of loop after the kamakazi splash goes away (led’s D2/D3 would toggle a few times the D4 would blink on then repeat) but we had no HDMI.
It should halt after a few minutes after flashing. All leds solid.
This is after the flash and removal of the SD. The HDMI screen shows the boot splash then it goes away and the monitor goes into sleep mode. We can’t access the terminal to get the IP address. This is with the B3 cape plugged in. Without the cape the led’s change but (I think it constantly reboots without the cape).
Hm… ill have to flash it myself to see if there is a difference between my flasher and the one I uploaded. It could be a Uboot panic due to wrong memory access… can’t know without a serial connected.
The 12-23-15 image gives us a login so we will play with that for now.
Has anyone tried the latest image with an original BeagleBone Rev A5?
I can’t seem to get mine to boot a Kamikaze image.
I’ve tried all 3 of the posted images and they act the same way. I get a flash of all 4 LED above the USB connector and then it never does anything else.
Update: I have tried the standard BeagleBone Jessie, Debian 8.2 image and that boots fine.
James, I’ve tried the procedure and it works for me! I’ve written down what to expect.

Yes, we figured out the boot process and are past that. The kernel seemed to go weird with the latest image and does not show anything on the screen after the boot splash, the screen ends up going to sleep. Blinking lights and no ethernet or anyway to see what the ip is. With the 12-23-2015 image we get past the boot splash and get the login prompt and all is good except octoprint would;t find any serial ports but we left it at that point. No terminal on the latest image unless there is a configuration setting that is wrong that keeps the screen from showing.
Ok. Here are some logs from the latest image. It does boot and I get a prompt using the serial port only. The (hdmi) screen just does not ever come on. The dmesg log shows something about a display service not being found.
and ps dump:
Looks like octoprint and toggle are running but not redeem. I will run that manually and see what it complains about.

@Elias_Bakken did you ever get a slack channel going? I see a http://replicape.slack.com but don’t have access.
FYI, I had to make the B3 EEPROM image and write to the NVRAM before the BBB would recognize the replicape. It would appear that the eeprom was not written on it or something. Now I am at least getting:
