I know, Logical Block Addressing is too 21st century.

For true retro style we will be adding 8 bit FAT compatibility.
Unfortunately there will be some problems with the 8MB file size limitation.


I thought there could be nothing wrong with using FAT32 formating in a current Windows. Seems like they still use the same tool they introduced ages ago in Win95.

SORRY!

Reformated the flash drive in Linux and tried again. Now it gets recognized.

Code:
ttyscreen has started
Waiting for flash drive... 0
Mounted flash of type vfat
payload.bin found
payload_properties.txt found
Starting update in  0
ui_print Step 1/2
Now the devices crashes about 40 seconds after the start of the update step 1 (blue LED, EDL mode, screen stays unchanged).
