Superceded by Stretch and Buster I'd really recommend obtaining an uSD card, downloading a recent image (won't have X-Window system), writing the image to the SD card, and verifying the card will boot (depending on how old the existing u-boot is, you may need to hold down the boot select button when applying power). After confirming the SD card is bootable (and maybe installing GNAT, et al.), convert the card to a flasher image (typically uncomment the last line in /boot/uEnv.txt) and reboot. Make sure you have a 5V supply in the barrel connector -- USB power is not guaranteed to support a full eMMC flashing operation. After flashing, remove the SD card (if you leave it in and reboot it will repeat the flashing operation), and reboot -- the eMMC should now have Debian Buster on it. To use the SD card without rewriting the image you need to mount it into a running system, navigate to the card's /boot/uEnv.txt, and recomment the last line. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/
