First, make an SD card of debian stretch from the URL below:
Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack Debian - eLinux.org
From the section of "microSD/Standalone: (testing) (All BeagleBone Variants)", you can find the image file.
After this, flash eMMC by booting from this card (by commenting out the last line of /boot/uEnv.txt). After confirmation of debian stretch booting from eMMC, then install 4.8.13-botic7-rc3
by: dpkg -i linux-image-4.8.13-botic7-rc3_1_armhf.deb. That's all.
Oh, btw, don't forget to add the line below to /boot/uEnv.txt
dtb=am335x-boneblack-botic.dtb

Thank you miero, I will reread the post and see if I can work it out...
I thought there was already a PCM/DSD switch? What have you got in mind?

I'm sorry to say that my description above might have been ampiguous. The URL for the actual image file is shown below:

Hi,
If I currently have/use ---botic5 on my BBB, can I load botic7-rc via microSD card?
The microSD would have https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/tes...-08-4gb.img.xz
on it?
Hi,
If you are currently running a botic5 system, you can update it to this botic7-rc3 system by simply installing the .deb file indicated by miero in the #2037 post.
The image file quoted above is only a debian testing (stretch) image and does not contain any botic system. The file can be also used as an intermediary for eMMC boot of a debian system on which you can install a botic kernel provided as a .deb file like in #2037 post.
Regards,
OK, so now I got some errors in the mpd.log, but they are not specific to mpd, rather that the host is down. Is there any way I can find out if this is due to something internal in mpd, or if there is something outside, i.e. a switch or something?

Uh! How would I get the .deb file up onto the BBB so I can run dpkg -i ?
Very much not a Linux pro.
I'm guessing, copy the .deb to a microSD, and use putty to access the BBB.
Don't know how to copy from the microSD to a directory on the BBB.
Any help appreciated

If you can access and log-in to the BBB by putty, you can use its USB port to mount a USB stick or drive (FAT-formatted) in which the .deb file should be present and can release the dpkg -i command for installation. BTW, IIRC, the USB support by botic5 might have been broken. Anyway, you might want to try it.
For putty connection, this page will be of help. Tera term is my favorite in Windows environment.
OTOH, though I'm not a user of Logitech Media Server, it seems that you have a private network and your BBB is connected to the server via ethernet. Correct? If so, you can directly log-in to the BBB from termina software, either Win or Mac, and can get the .deb file by wget command and install it. Apologies if I'm wrong.
Regards,
Got a windows tty program to copy the .deb file over to the BBB.
Ran dpkg -i on the BBB, see results below, then rebooted the BBB.
My worst fears came true,
only one led blinking on the BBB, normal is two leds alternately blinking.
IP scanner now doesn't show it.

Well, nothing wrong with the installer message above. Did you check the line of "dtb=am335x-boneblack-botic.dtb" is included in /boot/uEnv.txt?
Regards,
Did not check that, what is it?
Don't know what to do now that it doesn't
boot up.
Perhaps if I boot from a microSSD card with
a good Botic I probably can get in!?
Oh! I see that in post 2110, damn! did not remember to do it!!

Can you boot the BBB from eMMC? If so, you can edit your botic SD card by mounting it.
Regards,
My comment above might have been a bit misleading. The lack of "dtb=am335x-boneblack-botic.dtb" in /boot/uEnv.txt will not provide the proper setting of GPIOs for botic driver but the system itself (botic7) can be booted without this line.
So the failure in booting up may be due to other causes. Ichiban san, you might want to try this update to botic7 again after preparing a new working botic5 SD card.
Rgds,
Ugh!
So this is where I'm at now.
I had a microSSD with botic v5 on it.
..booted up with the microSSD inserted
..did a 'apt-get update'
..then 'apt-get install linux-image-4.0.0-botic5'
..then 'umount /boot/uboot/'
..then 'root@botic:~# /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/generic-eMMC-flasher-12mb.sh'
Removed microSSD card and rebooted and get this

Well, apart from the IP connection to the Media Server, your system appears well back to the previous state. If you would like to try again the new botic7, please read carefully the instruction of old botic7 installation by miero. Probably you appears to have missed sync command at the final stage of installation on the last time.
Regards,
I'm not having any luck finding "the instruction of old botic 7 installation by miero" .
By old botic 7, does that mean pre-volumio?
Please have a look at #1611 post by miero. It is the "instruction".
Regards,
Many thanks, again.
