BBB won't start HTM & received Rev-B

Post by Radar_Ron »

I was so excited when my Beagle Bone Black (BBB) Starter Pack (Product ID 703) arrived, I had to wait a couple of weeks just to order it due to Adafruit being out of stock. I was disappointed when I plugged it in to my PC as per the instructions, the BBB was recognized as a removable drive, but the START.HTM did NOT autorun. When I double clicked on START.HTM it brought up a browser window but it was blank!

The included screen capture shows...
1) the browser window
2) detailed file listing
3) the "Properties" of the removable drive.

I have tested the BBB or two PCs and 3 different Browsers all with the same results.

Another concern I have is that even though I had to wait for restocking, I received the old version of the BBB. The current production is REV-C the one I have is clearly marked REV-B.

Thanks, I will try to flash it. BUT what about receiving a REV-B when (according to BB) the Rev-C is the current Production?
The Rev-C has twice as large of eMMC to flash to. Rev-B is 2gb, and Rev-C is 4gb.

Note: As of May 12, 2014 Adafruit is shipping Rev C. We have discontinued selling Rev B. There are no exchanges or "upgrades" for Rev B to Rev C.
