I can’t update my BBB. I’ve tried with every new image that comes out. I write a new image to the memory card. Plug in the ethernet directly to my dsl router. Plug in the power, then ssh into the BBB and try to update it.
opkg update
mkdir /home/root/tmp
opkg -t /home/root/tmp upgrade

When the network bugs out, I reset it with udhcpc.

When it finally finishes, I reboot it and it just has three blue lights.

Here is the last output:

Did I get a bad BBB? How do I update this thing?

Don’t do ‘opkg upgrade’. It never works. You can only get away with updating specific packages at a time.

3

Any recommendations on which groups? I’d like to install Python.

4

Groups? The images have python on them already.

Using (BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.06.06.img.xz) opkg update and upgrade work for me, no problem.
