    Current settings:
    Total : 64 MB
    OS-Image: 16 MB
    FFSDISK : 16 MB
    FREE : 32 MB, Part type: EXTENDED


    Is it possible to use the rest of the FREE: 32 MB for FFSDISK?


    Thank you very much

  • Hello,


    yes you can overwrite the default partition configuration by using the command "P" in the booloader. Enter "P" and follow the instunctions.

  • Sorry to ask again, but where can I find further information on partitioning?


    Current settings:
    Total : 64 MB
    OS-Image: 16 MB
    FFSDISK : 16 MB
    FREE : 32 MB, Part type: EXTENDED
    Enter maximal size for OS-Image [16]: <LF>
    Enter maximal size for FFSDISK [16]: <LF>
    Format partition FREE as EXTENDED [Y]: <LF>


    I use the kernel NK82_CF_070305.bin which is approximatly 11MB in size. Therefore I pick OS-Image: 11MB.
    How many MB do I need as EXTENDED?
    Does the OS need these MB for paging?
    Is there any documentation on that?


    Thank you very much in advance.

    - You can use remaining store (32MB) for extended. Format it with partition manager under control panel. Than you have two "ffsdisk"(ffsdisk,ffsdisk1).
    - You can also use 48MB for ffsdisk than you have only one partition.

    - Paging? We talking about flash memory!
    - You can round to nearest MB (e.g. kernel has 13.5MB use 14MB for OS partition, note: sector size is 512 bytes)

  • Hello,


    maybe we missunderstood!


    OS-Image: is flash size in MB reserved only for kernel (user does not "see" this storeage)
    FFSDISK: is flash size in MB for store user data (ffsdisk).
    EXTENDED: is flash size in MB for store user data (ffsdisk1,..). Use partition manager (or - functions) for administrate this storage.


    If you use all 48MB for "FFSDISK" the "EXTENDED" is irrelevant.
