Correct. You need to format it to FAT16 known as FAT. Once you have v70 kernel loaded OK on the Elonex, after using the FAT SD card to update the Elonex, you can load the Large Driver support and then you can reformat the SD card back to FAT32 and it'll work OK. That's how I read it, but my SD card has always been FAT so has always worked whichever way....

As I'm sure you know, when you re-format something you lose all data on it. Also, you reformat the card using Windows, and not the Elonex.

Hope this helps....

Many thanks Unhban, tried a different card after reformatting it to FAT striaght in no problems! Although I note with interest that the page on Cnm's website for Kernel updating has changed since yesterday and now bears the title Firmware Upgrade and all three file now in a zip file!

Yes, noticed they'd changed the site just before and don't think downloading is now quite so good as it's split into two different sections....

And, they have the v70 upgrade in both sections, but in one they say it's needed just for the 3G-module driver to work, while in the other they say it's needed for all drivers to work. Think the latter is correct....

Confused? You will be!  8)

Does anyone have a link to the Elonex MRB V70 as it is no longer on their support page to download?

Am I right in the way I read this,quote: "there was some problem with SD cards and they had to be FAT and not FAT32-formatted at one time" to mean that the cards should never have been formatted to Fat 32 at anytime and if it has, it's useless for this task?

No, simply put the SD card into your PC and reformat it as a FAT device and it'll be fine. You can change the file system back and forth as many times as you want.

Edit: Replied to the wrong post. Just ignore me !  ::)

Fishfingers,
I believe the latest MBR (uImage) file is contained within the Elonex download .zip
