SD Card not mounting on computer or on the board ?.

Post by jackyjoy123 » Fri Apr 09, 2021 2:54 pm

Hello,

I have a Victor 4Gb class 4 microSD card, that I swear worked a few weeks back when I tried to use it (a few firmware upgrades ago)

I tried using it today and couldn't get it to work. When I plug in the usb cable, my finder windows (Mac OS 10.9) shudder as if they are mounting a new volume, but no volume shows up, not in the finder and not in disk utility.

When I log into repl and do:
CODE: SELECT ALL

import sys
sys.path
I get
CODE: SELECT ALL

['', '/flash', '/flash/lib']
but it isn't mounting the flash drive on my mac as a usb drive, so obviously it has some knowledge that there is a microSD card plugged in. I've tried reformatting the drive in FAT again in case the board wasn't liking the formatting, but that was no help.

What steps should I take next to debug this?

Incidentally I updated the firmware today in hopes of fixing this issue. Prior to that of course repl was reporting 0:/ variants.


thanks
jackyjoy
