how to expand the rootfs of the beagle bone black from a flashed eMMC onto the SD card

We have used the most recent beagleboard debian eMMC flasher image to flash the beagle bone black eMMC. As of this writing: wget http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz After flashing is complete, erase the sd card, then reboot. Once booted, We can use fdisk -l to list our available devices, I found mine by checking the size and the partition table. After verfifying the card's address, we can reformat it to fit our needs. Of course, this can be done before plugging the card in, as well.

debian@beaglebone:~$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15.9 GB, 15931539456 bytes 
        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1            8192    31116287    15554048    b  W95 FAT32
