Ethernet device is not detecting on ubuntu 20.04 LTS on BBG

@RobertCNelson

What is the correct way to update the bootloader?

I found

  • Your digikey page
  • eLinux using the bb-u-boot-am335x-evm package (Nice and easy way, but likely too easy)
  • On the same page, it mentions another way (seemingly loosely based on another page I found made by you) crosscompiling it on another system.

If I follow the first option (your page), do I still need to use the v2022.04 branch and pull the https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleboard/u-boot.git v2022.04-bbb.io-am335x-am57xx patch?

I know these might be very obvious questions, but this is my first time doing these kind of things and there’s an incredible amount of outdated information available.

I already tried following your guide which worked up until the end, but I couldn’t get the sd card image copied to the onboard eMMC.
