[App_rpt-users] AllStarLink for the BeagleBoard-xM

Mon Jan 1 18:35:49 UTC 2018

I have seen this behavior with some SD cards.  The issue is the quality of the card itself.  Not all SD cards are created equal.  Generic cards frequently have this problem.  

The revised image coming out next week should fix your problem.
