Re: Solder header onto Joggler PATA port

1, Does it work? Yes. https://www.jogglerwiki.com/wiki/Adding_a_PATA_port 2, the zif cable and socket is 0.5mm size, right?

Re: Solder header onto Joggler PATA port

could I just solder a PATA port on joggler board and use a cable to connect it to a real ZF SSD card? Yes. I have 15 of these in 15 running Windows XPe for my touchscreen automation using Seabios. Boots fine from SSD. Fits nicely with original wireless USB stick. Soldering the ZIF clip has been doc...

Re: New SSD for Joggler-Openpeak

Originally the company wanted to send me a new ZIF clip to solder on. Then I said no and they wanted me to ship the SSD back to them. The ZIF clip is so flimsy that you cannot flip over the lock on a very thin zif cable. Here noticed that the USPS would not let me ship to China via a FAQ on the USPS...

New SSD for Joggler-Openpeak

My Openpeak Jogglers today are all using 16 Gb SSD drives for Linux (EFI) and Windows (Seabios).

Last week found these being sold and going to give one a test run.

Re: clean install fails

So after the update above noticed that it would not boot to Squeezeplay.

Then I noticed I had no default users configured except for squeezeplay.

Manually installed squeezeplay script and rebooted.

Boots to a command line prompt.

Here switched over to using an external USB stick rather than the internal eMMC. Its been fine running Squeezeplayer and I haven't looked at it much relating to upgrading. I did this morning and see the same: ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-3.16.85op.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-3...

Re: Looking for original app*.tgz firmware file / help to boot from USB

Are there some ROMs that doesn't boot on some devices? Does the ROM even matter as long as the EFI doesn't even seem to recognize the USB stick? I have seen the 1Mb boot roms get trashed maybe once. I would keep trying different USB sticks. I only mentioned the keyboard cuz some were different than...

Re: Looking for original app*.tgz firmware file / help to boot from USB

Here over the years have had similar issues. Is the boot rom on the motherboard socketed or soldered in to place?
