FYI...Boots readily from the cf slot if the sdcard is partitioned and formatted while its in the sd to cf card adapter and that in turn in a cf card to usb adapter. This done using a Raspberry Pi 2 B+...running their linux/debian derivative OS: Raspian
(now Raspberry Pi Os
), via the terminal app.
Presently successful using a 16Gb sandisk Ultra plus microSDCard partitioned as follows:
Partition 1 sda1 10 Gb Fat32
(not Fat 16
).
One advantage is Windows, Win CE, and linux can read Fat32,
(Windows 10 can't read Fat16
) ...so easy to transfer files with a USB adapter. This was an older scdard I had previously formatted as Fat32 and 10GB...I did not alter this partition other than to make it bootable and to copy the boot files to...I did not delete and create it...so didn't delete pre-existing data. It has several Gb of music/songs and also the total HP backup for the Jornada...so when I reboot back to wince I can do a fast restore to it's prior state
(except time date change etc.
)
Partition 2 sda2 5.6Gb ext4 to which all the tar.bz system files were extracted.
Partition 3 sda3 208Mb linuxswap ...all of which seem to be recognized on duvuan boot up.
I'll be trying out some bigger microsd cards later...like the FlashAir wifi sdcard!
This has been as rather FUN, if not intense, journey into the Linux world . Many thanks to Stefan, C:Amie , Ntware and others who somehow saved my hpc's soul...or at least kept me heading in the right direction!!!! Happy Thanksgiving to and for all the HPCFactor members !
