The other image might be a waste of your time then. It will only automatically boot from the SD card on a reboot. A power cycle will require you to push the Boot switch button on the Beaglebone.
If you're powering down the S2, plug a wall wart or USB power supply into the Beaglebone to keep it alive while you do whatever requires the power down. Once you've applied power to the S2, remove the 5V power from the Beaglebone as it will pull power from the S2 IO board at this point.
The reboots from the SD card save the settings right?
I will check again .. but I know cold power cycle were loosing the settings as well .. with this new image I am hoping it will save the settings om the SD card like original 'beagleboard+sd card' comb does ..
I was not able to try the new image last night.. but will try it tonight..
Thanks
OK I can confirm that when using the '1l1l11ll1l' image it saves the settings on the sd card even after a cold reboot .. or a cold start after saving the settings .. only issue left is after a cold start I still need to press the boot button on the beagleboard.. whcih is a pain since I have to take out 2-3 hash cards and put them back while the system is on... I don't have access to a live USB or live 5v external connector for my S2 ( beagleboard) where it actually resides physically for hashing...
hot reboots are fine.. and I am back to hashing at full 1TH+
