Loading code and booting from SD Card

Brian_B

Hi all,
Just getting my feet wet with the P2 and have read through many past post on the subject of saving code to SD card but can't seem to get the prop to boot from it. What is the proper way to save code to a SD card and get the p2 to boot to it?

I am using FlexGui and have gotten code to run in terminal mode and I'm super impressed with the P2 so far!

Are microSD cards hard to get or expensive? No, not at all. The P2 deserves a new more modern card than a decade old 2GB non SDHC/XC FAT16 card that happens to be laying around (and quite possibly worn out).
But don't be tempted by cheap 1TB no-name brands, just stick with Sandisk if you are not sure and even a 64GB will only set you back around $12. However the smaller 16 or 32GB cards are preformatted to FAT32.

Looks like you just need to remove any pullups...

See attached from docs.

I just realised the main prop2 google doc is entirely devoid of SD booting info. Doesn't mention it beyond the pull-ups. Which is just incidental I suspect.
