Hi,

I have hard time to install and setup nodejs tool for booting from usb and flashing eMMC under Windows 10.

The main issue is installation with the command

npm install npm --global

Thank you,

David

Hi @dzhou Windows does not look to be actively supported for the node-beagle-boot software package:

I recently switched back to Windows 10 and faced the same issue. What should I do to fix it?

Try running the command with administrator privileges. Just right-click on your command prompt and select “Run as administrator,” then run npm install npm --global.

If that doesn’t work, you might want to reinstall Node.js and npm to make sure everything is set up right. Also, upgrading to Windows 11 could make installations smoother.

That project is pretty much dead at this point, it was a GSOC project in 2017 and hasn’t had any fixes…

The team behind bootlin, has a new ‘linux’ only tool: snagboot that is actually supported: GitHub - bootlin/snagboot: Generic recovery and reflashing tool for embedded platforms
