Baseboard SD Card Support

Question

Hello

Since the PicoZed-SDR Development Kit (2x2) only ships with 1 micro SD card (with adapter) I have bought another plain SD card to use in parallel on the baseboard.

I bought a SanDisk SDHC-I 8Gb (Class 10) card but it does not want to boot. I compared it to the one shipped with the kit (Delkin Devices SDHC-I Class 1) and wondering if the speed marking is the issue...

That said, according to https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/speed_class/ it seems like the serial data rate is the same for those two.

Any suggestions would be appreciated on which cards are recommended for the kit's baseboard.

Thanks,
Jaco

Hi Guys

Thank you for the pointers and info. I had a bit of time to debug this and instead of my initial assumption that the card did not work I looked at the UART output and could see that it does actually detect the card. It falls over where it attempts to mount the second partition which I forgot to create.

After following the exact steps on the ADI wiki everything is working now.

Thanks again for the help.
Regards,
Jaco
