TF card preferences? #5

Open BennehBoy opened 3 months ago

I can't get any adf to load when I place it on a variety of different TF cards with the name df0.adf

Have I missed anything? Are there any recommendations for card brand and size. All of the cards I've tried work fine with nestang, but I realise this could be down to differences in driver implementations..

As written in the main README, this is a very early test release. It's not supposed to work for anyone, but instead proves that a Minimig on Tang Nano is possible at all. It's now up to some exüperienced Amiga users (which I am not) to make this into a working thing ... or not.

BennehBoy commented 3 months ago

Understood, I'm just excited to see this doing more than run a rom, if you have a moment to simply specify a particular TF card which has worked for you that would be most appreciated.

harbaum commented 3 months ago

All cards I've used so far have been working. This includes some no name 16GB cards from far east as well as high endurance 32GB ones from Sandisk.

But I doubt it's the SD card itself you are having trouble with. For the SD card to work all components incl. the M0S have to work properly.

BennehBoy commented 3 months ago

OK, so now I know the obvious issue, I have not connected an M0S as I'm waiting on that to ship. Apologies for wasting your time.

harbaum commented 3 months ago

The M0S is responsible for the SD cards own file system. It basically makes the stored disk files accessible to the core.

I was puzzled by the same thing as @BennehBoy My initial expectation was that even without the M0S dock the NanoMig would start. I propose to update the README (see PR above) and close this issue.
