If you don't know the location of your SD card:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like:

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive
Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card

lsblk:
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  <- x86 Root Partition
├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0  18.9G  0 part [SWAP]
sdd      8:48   1   3.7G  0 disk 
├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part 
└─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part 

• In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

Install image:

Quick install script for "board"

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot board

"board" options:

• BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx - beagle
• BeagleBoard xM - beagle_xm
• BeagleBone/Black - bone

So for the BeagleBone/Black :

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot bone

Quick install script for "board" (using new --dtb option)

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb board

"board" options:

• BeagleBoard xM - dt-beagle-xm
• -----------------------------
  #        --dtb beaglebone (BeagleBone & BeagleBone Black:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-beagle-xm (BeagleBoard xM:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-mx51evk (mx51evk:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-mx53loco (mx53loco:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-wand-dual (WandBoard Dual:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-wand-quad (WandBoard Quad:supported)
  #        --dtb dt-wand-solo (WandBoard Solo:supported)
  #        --dtb omap3-beagle (BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx:supported)
  #        --dtb omap3-beagle-xm (BeagleBoard xM:supported)
  #        --dtb pandaboard (PandaBoard original & ES:supported)
  

So for the BeagleBone Black:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb beaglebone

• Additional Options
  • --rootfs <ext4 default>
  • --swap_file <swap file size (in megabytes)>

You should now be able to unmount the SD card from your PC, insert into your Board, reboot and have the OS loaded.
