Hello
I recently got a dreamshell from aliexpress, i apparently could not get out of the boot menu, it recognized the fat32 sd card but all options were grey, in the text that appears briefly when booting up i can see the FAT32 file system being detected, and the grey SD card option wont even show up otherwise
I tried several cards i had been using in raspberry pi projects, several brands between 8 and 32GB, and formatted them to FAT32 using gparted (linux)
After banging my head into the wall for some days i tried a old 8GB sd card i had from some old phone, surprise surprise this one boots just fine!
I want to buy a large card, so i have a few questions:
- How do i know if a sd card will work or not?
- What is the max size a card can have?
- Is there anything special about the windows tools often recommend for formatting? Could gparted be formatting things wrong somehow?
