Does this work with a BBB A5C?

[wicadmin]

Hi,
I have an A5C BBB. Would this script work to put the right (2 GB) Debian OS on the eMMC?

@2devnull yes, but remember it has to be a 1GB/2GB image, not the 4GB..

Hmm, I'll have to take a look at how to do this. On the surface, I thought this script may be doing it all based on HW. Is there any more current update than Wheezy for 2GB eMMC?

[RobertCNelson]

It doesn't care about the hardware or eMMC size.. If you try to flash a 4GB image to the 2GB eMMC, it'll still try it's hardest, but fail..

ok, great....so if I understand how to do this correctly, these are the only steps I need to follow?

Well, that's what i wrote..

[wicadmin]

great...If I just want a headless server that I can SSH into, would this image be sufficient?

sure

[wicadmin]

alright, I was not sure if it had to state "flasher" in its name to work.

Thank you. I appreciate your help in sorting this through.

You can modify it to flash the eMMC by fallowing:
