Hardware Etcher on an SD Card

[natarajsn]

Hi

My Rebirth Pandora won't fire up for a long time now. ED had offered me "Etcher on an SD Card" once he finds time. But he is too tied up with his projects that I am asking any body can help me out by proving Etcher.

Write it with Diskdump on an SD and follow the Instruction from this Thread.

Many SD Cards do not work with ist..the smaller SD Card..the bigger Chance that it work

You can also try partitioning say a 4GB slot at the head of the drive and using that. The card's processor may be fast enough for that; I believe it's a start-up timing problem, so the processor can prepare that small partition quickly enough for the bootloader to find it in time.

If you're dd-ing an image to the card, that will overwrite the partition table, so partitioning it first wouldn't make any difference.

I was trying to get a rescue card from ED too. I guess he's too busy.
