Tried booting, by holding the boot button on power up, from the SD/v4Botic, and v3 still shows???
Install v4, then follow instructions in post #706. Worked for me (when I could still connect to the BBB!).
PS The mount -t cifs //<MachineName>/<SharedFolder> /data/remote -o username=<DomainName>/<username>,password=<password> commans seems to be working (although I had to mkdir /data/remote first, as it didn't exist and it only worked for me with the IP address not the machine name)

Correct IP address?
Yep. It's right there on my router's list of connections.
Update: Booted from SD instead of eMMC and can now connect. Odd as it worked fine booted from eMMC last night and I didn't change anything.

OK, now that ympd seems to be working OK, can anyone assist with setup of mpdroid? I'm not sure what to enter in the settings. Whatever I try doesn't work.
Also, what does "Consume" do in ympd? The button has a flame symbol - I don't want my music consumed by fire!

For some reason, I can't connect to my BBB now. I just get "Network error:connection refused"
🙁
Yeah, I got turned around when the IP Address changed and I didn't know it.
Chased my tail for a week.
Get this to see all your IP Addresses
Advanced IP Scanner - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
It's free, I hope you have Winders, probably something simular for Macs too.
Thanks, but I can see them all in my router's interface. The IP address hadn't changed. I don't really know what the problem was.
What an odd order ympd puts folders in!

In linux you can do:Get this to see all your IP Addresses..
nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24
to see all the hosts in the subnet. Replace 192.168.1 with your subnet address of course. If you don't have nmap you can install it with:
apt-get install nmap

I was wrote v4 to SD card.
Work OK.
To install v5 you need to update system time on BBB before do "apt-get update", like in miero post http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/twisted-pear/258254-support-botic-linux-driver-72.html#post4309567
ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Duffy Moon,
"Consumed" means removal from the queue after the playing of the track has ended, not removal from the database. Maybe not a definitive explanation but my experience.

Cannot boot botic for love nor money.
Hi guys, hoping someone can help. Trying to get the botic distro up and running on my BBB but hit a brick wall. I just cannot get the SD card to boot.
so...
1) my BBB here:
2) is tested as up and running under its supplied linux kernel. Currently tethered to my laptop via USB cable.
I Can logon via putty as can be seen here:
date isn't right but guess that doesn't matter.
3) Botic V3 downloaded and image written to 16Gig micro SD card. Hash is correct so download is fine. See here:
4) checking the SD card on windows, I guess it all looks fine as per here:
5) So then I try to boot via following instructions:
Boot the BBB using that SD card. To do this:
a) ensure power is off to BBB (no user LEDs lit),
b) completely disconnect BBB board from USB and power supply.
c) Insert SD card with image into slot on the underside of your BBB. Make sure the SD card is the correct way round so the metal tabs show.
d) hold down the boot button (not power or reset) and plug in the 5v power cable,
Wait a minute... I've held the S3 boot button down up to 60 seconds
e) the LED should blink and then started moving from side to side like a wave, only then release the boot button.
... but I get nothing. The power LED goes on and thats it, as per here:
cant log in via putty, BBB doesn't register in windows, nada.
Tried reimaging the SD card 5 or 6 times, tried the botic 4 distro. I get nothing.
Tried Duffy Moons suggestion of bigger psu for the BBB (2A/5V) but no joy (thanks for suggestion at least, DM)
Anyone got any ideas?
really grateful as I've just about run out of options that I can think of.
cheers

I've had this happen too many times, can't say why it does. Only thing I could do was start over and copy "BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.8-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-03-01-4gb.img" to SD card and boot up with that holding the user boot button, then the Cylon led lights start, indicating the eMMC is being flashed.
Then copy botic v3 to SD card, place in BBB, plug power in, use putty to SSH to BBB and login, then enter
/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh
when completed, I think BBB powers off if not hold power button and when leds shut off yank the power cord. Remove SD card, plug in power and login via putty/SSH.

Well, found out that my SD card had V3 not V4 on it. 🙄
So, booted with V4 on SD card then entered
/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh
when completed, powered down, removed power cord, reinserted power and LEDs flashed a while then stopped with only D4 (activity indicator) solid ON!!
No access via putty/SSH.
Did this twice, same result.

...just recalled that I would have that result after flashing also. Power LED on no others.
Found I had to do a second button power down, remove power cable then reinsert and BBB would boot up.

I would recommend buying a USB-serial cable and connect it to J1 on the BBB. This way you can interact/see u-boot and kernel messages when the system is booting up.
Ichiban, thank you very much!!! I shall try that in an hour or so and see where that leads.
Also, when I finally flash.
Re your problem, if I understand right and you do have a problem: I think that's because you have to do:
root@bbb:~# /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/generic-eMMC-flasher-12mb.sh
that code line is different for V4 than v3
cheers

I have the cable, have no idea how to use it. Saw where there are drivers and downloaded FTDI 232R driver CDM v2.12.00 WHQL Certified. Haven't gotten around to finding what app to download use.
Right now I'm exhausted from poking at this all morning and half the afternoon.
Every time I try flashing V4 botic to eMMC and poweroff/reboot the BBB only has the power LED lit, no others.
