Hi,

on the mbed LPC1768 I can create a folder. I am using that to store binaries for later uses. Also, I can always copy a binary back from the virtual disk if I have to.

With the EA4088 it's completely different. I can't create a folder. If I try to do that the thing "crashes" and reboots. The binary I copy onto it (which does run) won't be visible on the disk (although, as I said, it's running on the board). There are 4 to 5 files which are there by default obviously: ".fseventsd" (which is a folder with a file "no_log" which has 0 byte), ".metadata_never_index" (0 byte), ".Trashes", "mbed.htm" and after the last crash "fail.txt".

Is that all as it's supposed to be? Am I overlooking anything?

Thanks,

Christoph

Oh, I forgot: Merry Christmas or whatever it is You're celebrating :)

The LPC1768 mbed has a seperate flash IC where a real file system is on, which allows you to do that. The EA4088 just immediatly programs the microcontroller when you drag a binary file on it (afaik), so that doesn't work, and indeed you can't make other files on it.

You can use the LPC4088 QSB Base Board for few bocks : http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/boards/lpc4088_qsb_bb.php

This board includes an micro sdcard slot that will do the job.

the new HDK seems to be different from the one we can use with the lpc1768.

May be some people from embedded Artist can help about this ?

Answer of your question is somewhere there IMHO :
