Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problem updating firmware on SD card

[Josh Blum]

If it helps to some degree, this is what it is supposed to look like:

You dont need to format the card, does it at least show up as a drive
letter in my computer?

I have seen the app work on XP and 7, and been informed of vista. I
dont know how to make windows behave. Its such a headache.

Do me a favor and download dd for windows, and run dd.exe --list with
your card in and post the output. http://www.chrysocome.net/dd

Since this is the gnuradio mailing list. I am compelled to list the
following open source alternatives:
gnuradio + gnuradio companion for graphical creation of a realtime or
simulation block diagrams
python + scipy for plots, graphs, scripting, vector and matrix
arithmetic http://www.scipy.org/Plotting_Tutorial
