ok, i ordered the Micro SD cards, going to pick up on way home...mine probably got corrupted when i rebooted..weird.
anyway, i need a good image and if someone can tell me the proper way to install it on the micro SD card that would be great.

I dont know if it just a copy paste, which i doubt if its going to be bootable.

Here you go folks

Manual for the S2

Firmware:
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/firmware_S2

use this program: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

its very simple.
1) put card in computer (requires an SD reader)
2) use the above program to backup an image of whats on the card to your desktop (just in case)
3) use the program to format the card (fat32 should be the default)
4) use the program to write the new image to the card - should take under a minute if the image is only 14MB
5) eject the SD, put it in your unit, and boot up

^it looks like the firmware is a .tar -> unless the win32diskimager can use .tar, you might need to use winrar to extract the actual file
^^ the firmware is a really odd file format, '.bin.SD' rather than the typical .iso or .img - maybe somebody can actually make an image of thier own SD card in a more common format?
^^^maybe the firmware can just be copy-pasted to the SD - a bit of googling seems like it may be in a format that the linux beaglebone can open and run automatically...?
