Using a Pi 3 I was able to write the image of Jessie over to the compute module. The CM then displayed as a single USB connected device. I disconnected the USB cable and reconnected and it did not display at all. I attempted to start the CM on its own but ran into the error of "end kernel panic - not syncing: vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown block"
I then tried to repeat the process to re-flash the EMMC but the CM would not show up as a device on the Pi 3.
I connected it to a windows computer and after updating my computer it showed up as a Universal Serial Bus Controller, if I remember correctly. I downloaded Cygwin but messed it up because it did not recognize any of the commands I was typing in. I attempted to reinstall it but it took hours and I was only 30%-ish through before I gave up. I probably was trying to download all of it.
So now I am still sitting here with a CM that has information written to it but that wont start up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
