Issues after switching the SD-Card

Toniebox Hardware Hardware General
1

Hey guys,
I have just installed the SD-Card adapter in the box according to the how-to´s. I have done a check afterwards and all tonies were working fine with the original card, what means that the attaching was done correct.

I have then inserted a new SD-Card (formatted to FAT32) with a content of copy of the original card. I have put an original tony on it to see if it works, but the box started to blink red, so the new SD seems not to be working.

So I have added the original card again. Unfortunately I have the same issue here too now :frowning: Box is blinking red, Tony is not playing anymore (Original Tony - Original card).

Do you have an idea what I have done wrong ? Have i destroyed the box :open_mouth: ?

Best regards,
Hazling.

EDIT: After restarting the box both cards work. Lessons learned: When changing the card, restart the box :slight_smile: Sorry for the post :slight_smile:

Rubberducking is a good thing. And posting the solution also. :+1:

Same problem here - the box doesn’t make any sound after the change (except for the clicks for volume up/down) and flashes red when a Tonie is placed on the box.

The SD card was formatted with FAT32 in Windows, and the contents of the old card were copied to the new one using Explorer.

The old card works normally when reinserted. I can’t reformat the new one either because the tool (HP USB Disk Storage Format) suddenly tells me it’s write-protected?! Nothing has been changed on the card or adapter, which could explain this – except for its use in the Toniebox. But since when does that create copy protection?

It’s a different 512 GB SD card than the one recommended for CC3200 in the wiki (Samsung ProPlus UHS-I, Class 10/U3/A2/V30 vs. Samsung EvoPlus in the wiki with same characteristics), but it’s also an ESP32, so that shouldn’t be a problem?

Restarting the box and resetting to factory settings unfortunately didn’t help.
Is there another option, or does this mean that the card is actually incompatible?

P.S. No card adapter used.

Problem solved by creating an image of the old card with Win32 Disk Imager in Windows, as recommended here:

The image is approximately 8 GB in size – do I need to take anything else into account on the new card, given the significantly larger storage capacity, or is it sufficient to simply save the image?
The tool didn’t allow me to create a smaller image with just the actual data.

The size itself isn’t really a problem for storage space, the new card has 512 GB… :wink:
