Still relatively new to these tools. Environment now is Windows 10 on an Odyssey Mini PC. The problem is that I cannot access the SD Card directly from Workshop4. I've noted comments on other posts about the Comms tab not fully supporting the gen4-IoD series and have simply set the two COM port drop downs to suit my set up (COM 7). The SD Card is the 4GB one that ships with the development kit. I've not tried to re-format it.
I have been able to load graphics files on to the card by removing it from the gen4 module and transferring it to a card reader on the PC. (Actually, I couldn't get the graphics examples that come with the GFX4d library to work, even though the file names appeared correct, but I did get the WidgetsWSDemo on this forum to work).
If I try "Comp'n Load" in Workshop4 and click the "uSD Copy" button in the Copy Confirmation dialog, I see a message saying "Please select a uSD drive containing a FAT16 formatted card". If, instead, I click the "FileTransfer Copy" button I see the message "Device on COM7 is not responding. Please that the com port is correct and that a display is plugged in", followed by another dialog saying "FileTransfer failed, run stand alone and check produced messages..."
Also in Workshop4, the Tools menu shows RMPet, Terminal 9600 and Terminal 115200. Selecting RMPet reports "No Removable Drives Found".
Overall, it appears that Workshop4 cannot see the uSD card, yet there can't be much wrong with it if I can load the graphics files for the WidgetsWSDemo via my PC and get the program to run. Obviously, having to keep swapping the card between the display and the PC isn't very practical and doing this repeatedly could cause wear or damage to the uSD socket.
How can I get Workshop4 to access the uSD card?
