hello, I just baught a 32 g microSD card and know i am wondering if there is a size limit that the Udoo can handle. Is there?
From the wiki: "Please consider that the micro SD card size must be at least 8GB; higher capacity SD memory cards may be used but only 8GB will be available at the end of the procedure."
This is going to be like on the RPi - the image file is for an 8GB partition (so the image file will be smaller to transfer around), but then there are ways to expand it to use the full SD card's physical size after the image is written. I'm betting it's the same sort of commands to do it on the Udoo. Might want to see what the Rpi guys do...(I use one of the tools they have built for the Rpi in the rpi-config tool.)
See here for steps to do it manually. These are pretty Linux-generic, not specific to the RPi so should work on the udoo as well. http://elinux.org/RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions
Hi! I just received a dual and I'm getting ready to go. A corollary question to the SD size limit is how much of the the 8GB is used by the various distros and how much is available for code etc.? Has anyone successfully downloaded the linaro dual distro and is able to share info?
I thought I'd post in case someone else sees this and is curious - I received my UDOO Quad yesterday and flashed the Ubuntu image onto a Class 10 32GB MicroSDHC SD Card then used GParted Live to resize the partition to take up the full SD Card. This worked well and has shown no issues during runtime
@josolanes .. was wondering about this myself but hadn't had time to try it yet. Thanks for posting that this works.
Can anyone explain resizing the partition from 8Gb? I could use a bit more detail. There was mention of 'gparted' but apt-get failed to locate it.
The first thing you will need to do is update apt: Code: sudo apt-get update after that you will be able to install gparted: Code: sudo apt-get install gparted It will then be located in: Applications -> Other -> Gparted Partition Editor When prompted for the root password it defaults to: ubuntu
Having problems trying to write these images to brand new 8GB Kinston MIcroSD cards. The error msg indicates they are too small? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2238318/MicroSD.PNG Glenn
andcmp, the topic is "size limit to the micro sd card" - my question *was* about the size - since I was not permitted to make my own topic I tried to find the closest one. I found the other topic as you can see and re posted there as someone also posted about the same issue. Perhaps this topic title is not so correct and it should be "how do I resize the MicroSD card"? I don't think you needed to warn me about off topic posting after only my first post. Thanks for the not so warm welcome to your forums Glenn
for the relatively linux illiterate. could you post up a quick how-to or at least the steps you took to accomplish this. I would like to go this route too, but am pretty sure it'll lead to a road of frustration for me.
check out the second post on this page by jayfehr once you open the application it should be pretty apparent if you are familiar with computers and disk partitioning. If you are unable to figure it out form here not a problem, one of us can work on a how to page for it.
Will a Class 10 SanDisk 64GB Extreme U3 Micro SDXC card work in my UDOO? I want to know before I spend 45 dollars on an SD card and find out it's not compatible. Thanks in advance,
Hi there! I would like to tell you yes or no, but actually we didn't give it a try! If you want to try, please remember to inform the community, it will surely be a valuable contribution! Andrea
