I got my Snickerdoodle Black about a week ago. Playing around with it and I can get it to boot, after a fashion.
(1) Removed modemmanager from the 17.04-64 development box.
(2) Power on with USB; connect with minicom.
(3) Linux hangs in emergency mode
[ OK ] Found device /sys/subsystem/net/devices/wlan1. [ OK ] Started Raise network interfaces. [ OK ] Reached target Network. [ OK ] Reached target Network is Online.
Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xbGive root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):
So: snickerdoodle as password gets me in as root; su can give me snickerdoodle user and I can run programs. I ran the journalctl command (that is visible in the prompt) and got a February log file displayed.
Image used: snickerdoodle_black_xenial_kinetic.img, snickerdoodle_black_BOOT_20160627
Connections: microUSB for power and serial; 16GB U3 SD Card partitioned w/ 128M vfat32/rest ext4
Any way you might be able to summarize the problem you're experiencing? Is it just that you aren't able to boot using the 'standard' snickerdoodle Ubuntu SD image?

Sorry about the delay:
Summary: Snickerdoodle Black with snickerdoodle_black_xenial_kinetic.img (and snickerdoodle_black_BOOT_20160627) on a 16GB SD card goes into emergency mode. When I feed it the root password, none of the SD-based boot commands start Linux. The journal information is as given above.
I _am_ teachable: I understand the missing CRC message from the Flash RAM.
I will try building the boot and rootfs from source today (I have done that before and _think_ I had similar problems...time to repeat the experiment).
Thanks for your time

(1) Successfully booted
snickerdoodle_black_xenial_kinetic.img after reinstalling the boot and root partitions on a clean SD card.
(2) Would still appreciate a moderately simple recipe for building linux from sources for the SD/SDBlack. The documentation is very out of date and incomplete (the linux dev manual ends with uImage being built; nothing on where the rest of the boot partition files come from and no indication how to get a clean rootfs image).
Thanks for reading and the toy,
