EP10 Recommended Micro SD card

This question is not answered

Hi Guys,

 Recently I have come across a compatibility issue with SanDisk micro SD cards (SanDisk 4GB SDHC class 4) on EP10. Is there any recommended micro SD card for the EP10? Any make or model?

  • The problem I have seen is different from the above post. EP10s with Sandisk 4GB SDHC cards inserted would not start/Boot and hangs on the windows Embedded blue screen. Remove the Card and EP10 works perfectly OK.

  • Mazhar,

    For your information, I am using the exact below Lexar microSDHC 4GB card and never had any problems with it.

      

    & Notes:

    • The circled number on my card does also read 2
      I.e. Speed Class Rating 2 : 2 MB/s

    • I just did a quick test to confirm my EP10 v3.0 can boot up while this µSD card is present.

    Regards,

  • all,

    just did a quick test with my HP 8GB Micro SDHC Class 4


    So far so good. My EP10 OS v3.0 fitted with CDMA boots up just fine

  • The card with this issue has Class 4.

    I  am also using few other cards sandisk 2,4 GB class 2. Kingston 4GB SDHC class 2 and never had any problem...

  • We have tested a Transcend 16GB Class 10 in EP10 and it not work on it.  However, the 16GB card is work in Workabout pro, iKon and Neo.  Is there any setting required.  Thanks.

     

  • Hi Tommy,

    There is no settings please wait 3-4 weeks for the Firmware build 3.2 and it will be fixed. OR use the lower class Micro SD cards.

  • Hi Mazhar,

    Very interesting!

    Do you mean that Class 10 uSD cards will start being supported at 3.2 release?

    Aren´t them supported yet?

    So, what do we mean when we state Added support for high speed SD cards, at 3.0 EP10 release notes?

    Could anybody clarify this?

     

  • The only issue that we have seen is with the SanDisk Ultra 16 GB SD Cards. In release 3.2, there will be a work-around for these cards by setting this registry setting:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC1]
         "PowerUpDelay"=dword

    This is not a complete fix. We are continuing to look at it. We did not want to do a global change and risk breaking other SD cards. This issue came up late in our release cycle. By setting this value to 250 ms, this card is consistently detected.

    If anyone has issue with other cards let us know. Now is a good time to get this information.

  • Oops, I should have said SanDisk 4 GB Ultra SD cards not 16 GB...
