Cumulus Issues
Starting a new thread to keep separate from the orders...
Cumulus received OK (looks cool), powers up OK with Atmos. Firmware version 0.5
Have tried two different SDHC cards and neither are detected (SD Card I/O error)
Lexar 4GB Premium Series 60x (class 4)
PNY 8GB Premium (class 4)
Both formatted to FAT32 on a winxp pc.
Do we need to use smaller partitions? (I'm using the full capacity of the cards)?
Any thoughts?
Just tried a different card:
Lexar 1GB SD (not SDHC) that didn't work either...
Faulty Cumulus?

Re: Cumulus Issues
I also used a lexar: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Class-Flash ... m_sbs_pc_8
Category 4, 16GB, worked fine
I also have a 8GB Samsung which worked fine.
The only one that did not work so far is my Kingston 120X, but it's not a SDHC.
All are formated in FAT32, and the .DSK file are recognized without any problem.
As a side note: If I put an empty card, I get a IO Error.

Re: Cumulus Issues
Just tried a KINGSTON 256MB SD card (ancient I know) and that isn't recognized either.
I've tried putting files in an ORIC directory and some files in no directory at all. Also tried having all files in upper case, all lower case etc.
Is there anything specific I need to do? Am I doing something wrong?
I've been placing the card in the drive then powering on (I get a display listing drives a:,b:,c:,d: but they are all empty.) I press the top right button and I see the IO error message.
So far, 3 different makes (PNY, LEXAR, KINGSTON), 4 capacities (8gb/4gb/1gb/256mb) , 2 formats (SD and SDHC). No luck so far and I've ran out of cards to try...

For me it happens that the card detection change was not working, but when I reselected on the second attempt it worked.
Perhaps you have something similar?
As for folders/no folders, both are working. The navigation could be better (it shows the '.' and '..' entries and you need to use the second button to change pages) so it's on my list of things to do

Re: Cumulus Issues
I try every Cumulus with a "Transcend" SDHC Class 6 16GB card.
The firmware was flashed with a "Samsung"SDHC Class 4 4GB card.

Re: Cumulus Issues
I'm having a bit of problem getting my Cumulus booted up .. just getting junk on the Atmos screen (Atmos is not booting) but the Cumulus is booting .. maybe I need a better power supply .. or something. Without Cumulus plugged in, Atmos boots fine..
Will try to do update now.

Re: Cumulus Issues
DOH!
Had the cards in upside down...someone shoot me...
Both my SDHC cards now work OK. The older SD cards aren't recognized (not in firmware 0.5 anyway)
Tomorrow I will try upgrading the firmware.
So, working fine are:
PNY 8GB Class 4 Premium
Lexar 4GB Class 4 Premium 60x
Sorry for any scares I may have caused to people...
