…om user feedback on Discord

  1. This README.TXT said that SDXC cards don't work with the display. Actually, they work fine, if they are first partitioned and then formatted. Any number of partitions can be added, but the first primary partition must be less than 16,000MB, for Windows to offer 4096 FAT32 as an option. I have published a YouTube video, demonstrating how this is done. I have updated the FAQs accordingly.
  2. Multiple users have followed the referenced videos, then come to Discord, saying the firmware will not flash.
    After some Q&A, they tell us that the videos they watched did not copy any BIN files to DWIN_SET I have published a YouTube playlist that shows ALL of the steps, including copying the BIN files.
  3. I made the GPT partition type caution more explicit. I have proven on my system that GPT definitely does not work. Only MBR partitions work.
  4. I tweaked a couple of heading-levels from ### to ##.

I recommend that the README.TXT file be a link to this page, in future releases, so that we can delete/modify/add content after users have downloaded the zip file.
