| + | |
| + | Before installation, make sure your SD card is compatible with {{{name}}} devices: |
| + | |
| + | <ol> |
| + | <li>Maximum supported (tested) SD card capacity is '''64GB'''.</li> |
| + | <li>Supported (tested) formats are: '''FAT32''', '''NTFS''', '''ext2''', '''ext3''', '''ext4'''.</li> |
| + | <li>SD cards with a fixed '''1.8V''' voltage are not supported. Make sure your memory card supports '''3.3V''' by referring to manufacturer's documentation.</li> |
| + | <li>The device is compatible only with <b>microSD</b> size memory cards.</li> |

| + | <span style="color:red"><b>Note: </b></span>Due to hardware limitations, {{{name}}} devices do not support firmware flashing while an SD card is inserted into the device. To successfully perform a firmware upgrade, it is required to remove the memory card first. Otherwise there is a high risk of data and configuration loss. |

| + | ==Results== |
| + | |
| + | Once device is booted up with an SD card installed, you can confirm it is recognized by navigating to '''[[{{{name}}}_USB_Tools#Mounted_File_Systems | USB Tools]]''' WebUI page. Under '''Mounted File Systems''' the SD card should be visible: |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Networking_device_manual_sd_card_mounted_file_systems.png|border|class=tlt-border]] |
| + | |
| + | You may now use various functionality found in '''[[{{{name}}}_USB_Tools | USB Tools]]''' with the SD card instead of a USB device. |
| + | |
| + | If you are having trouble with the device recognizing your SD card, please refer to the '''Troubleshooting''' section below. |
| + | |
| + | ==Troubleshooting== |
| + | |
| + | <ol> |
| + | <li>Double check the SD card is '''[[{{{name}}}_SD_Card#Compatibility | compatible]]''' with {{{name}}} devices.</li> |
| + | <li>Make sure the SD card is not corrupted. We recommend formatting it before first installation.</li> |
| + | </ol> |
| + | |
| + | ===Formatting SD card using device=== |
| ---- | | ---- |
| + | If you are unable to format the memory card using other means, it is possible to do it directly on {{{name}}} device. |
| | | |
− | The device is compatible only with <b>microSD</b> cards. Maximum supported (tested) SD card capacity is '''32GB'''.
| + | ====Pre-requisites==== |
| + | ---- |
| + | <ol> |
| + | <li>Device must have WAN access.</li> |
| + | <li>SD card must be recognized by the filesystem.</li> |
| + | </ol> |
| | | |
− | [[File:Sd_card_measurments.png]] | + | ====Procedure==== |
| + | ---- |
| + | <ol> |
| + | <li>Connect to device's '''[[{{{name}}}_CLI | CLI]]'''.</li> |
| + | <li>Use command <code>ls /dev/ | grep mmc</code> to display recognized memory cards:</li> |
| + | <code>root@Teltonika-{{{name}}}:~# ls /dev/ | grep mmc</br> |
| + | mmcblk0</br> |
| + | <b>mmcblk0p1</b> ← SD card</code> |
| + | <li>Once confirmed the SD is recognized, we may start the formatting procedure:</li> |
| + | <li>Run commands <code>opkg update</code> and <code>opkg install e2fsprogs</code> to download required tools.</li> |
| + | <li>Unmount the SD card with command <code>umount /dev/mmcblk0p1</code></li> |
| + | <li>Start formatting with command <code>mkfs.ext<b>X</b> /dev/mmcblk0p1</code> where X is either 2 (for ext2 format), 3 (for ext3 format) or 4 (for ext4 format).</li> |
| + | <li>A successful format procedure should look like this:</li> |
| + | <code>root@Teltonika-RUT955:~# mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1</br> |
| + | mke2fs 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020)</br> |
| + | /dev/mmcblk0p1 contains a ntfs file system labelled '64gb'</br> |

| + | |
| + | <b>Note: </b> The <i>Writing inode tables</i> section might take a long time depending on the size of your SD card (10+ minutes with 64GB SD). |
