Hi, I'm trying to install debian on my beaglebone Rev.A6a with, ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdh --dtb am335x-bone-serial --serial-mode And the board reboot indefinitely, I modify uEnv.txt but without success, Any idea ?

"reboot indefinitely" please explain...

What steps you did: what the board did: etc..

On Windows XP / com8 (115200n8), The board display "CCCCCCC" after each reboot, And Windows XP play sound like usb plug and unplug ...

That's a failure to properly install the bootloader to the microSD card. Which can happen a couple different ways..

Regards,
