The code is about 2G, 500M compressed. The initial filesystem is about 4G. It will fit on a 4G SD card BUT it is hard to find any quality 4G cards and becoming increasingly hard to find any 8G ones either. I suggest the Sandisk ultra or ultra+ class 10 16G cards. They are around $12 at Amazon. The other reason to use a card much larger than your image is to allow wear leveling to work better. I don't want people to make the mistake of using cheap cards. This happened in the IRLP world and everyone was complaining how unreliable SD cards were. I have never bought anything but the above mentioned cards and I have never had a problem. It does not pay to fool with cheap cards. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: w7ry@centurytel.net To: doug@crompton.com; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] MicroSD cards Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 21:04:11 -0700 How big a SD is required? 73 Jim W7RY From: Doug Crompton Sent: Friday, May 02, 2014 8:29 PM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] MicroSD cards If you bought a BBB you will need at least one microSD card to burn the image on. Here is about the best deal around - http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Frustration-Free-Packaging--SDSDQU-016G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7D8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399086981&sr=8-3&keywords=sandisk+microsd Highly recommended is at least Sandisk ultra 16G class 10 30mb read. Buy at least three for free shipping. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users To unsubscribe from this list please visit http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
