Uptimist,
No one has answered the USB port issue to connect a keyboard.

The opposite end of the PAW to the antennas, is a removable cover. Behind
 that is the GPS, the SDR, and a spare USB.

On early Rosetta’s the label covered the join, and you will need to run a sharp knife along the label only.

Cheers
Ian

Thanks Ian, noted.

      You need to select "CHS format size adjustment" on version 5.0.1 you tick the box to select it. Let us know how you get on

OK the option was greyed out, so I looked at the documentation for the format app, it says "Note: this option is enabled only when the user capacity of the card is less than or equal to
8032.5MB"

And your instructions ask me to use "at least" an 8gb card - so I guess that means it must be exactly an 8gb card, no more no less!

All the cards I have are 16gb or more, so unless I overwrite the existing older version PAW card I have, I need to get hold of a new 8gb card...I'm slightly nervous about zapping the only working version I have.

How did you format the SD card ?
Thx

Sorry, forgot to answer that question - I used SD Card Formatter 5.0.1.  I selected "Overwrite" option.  I couldn't select the "CHS format size adjustment" option as it was greyed out.

Correct, I'm not getting anything on the HDMI monitor at all.  And I can't try selecting monitor type with a keyboard because I can't figure out how to connect a keyboard!

Glad to see others are successfully installing, so it must be something I'm doing wrong.  Maybe I should try formatting the drive a second time and copying the files across again, and trying it again?

So has anyone done an update to new version successfully yet?

When I power up with new card in, there is just one red light and nothing comes alive even after a long wait (15 mins) - hdmi display is blank.  If I put the old card back it’s fine and display shows bootup and login prompt so I know that’s working.

Technical Support / Installing 20190621 - SDFormat and Software upgrade

« on: June 23, 2019, 11:55:22 am »

I'm trying to upgrade to the new version just out - some basic questions as I have not done this before.

The instructions on the website describe formatting and load the SD with files, then insert and power up PAW, and just wait for 10-15 minutes, presumably the software self updates from the card?

The README file with the software describes needing to connect a display and keyboard and select the installation to kick off the upgrade.

Which is it?

Also, if it's the keyboard route, how do you attach a keyboard?  I can't see any USB socket on my Rosetta.  The only sockets are microUSB for power, and HDMI for display.

Lastly, assuming I get through the upgrade, do I need to leave that specific SD in, or can I revert to a different e.g. smaller capacity one? I borrowed an nice high capacity card from my GoPro and would like to switch back to the 8gb card which came with the PAW originally...!


Thanks for any help.
