I can't seem to get our CPU to recognize the formatting of an SD card. I 've tried formatting as FAT32 and exFAT on both a Linux and Windows host. Every time I insert the card the CPU displays the message "Portable Memory Dev Unsupport Format ". SD Card: Lexar 32GD SDHC CPU: P2-550 firmware v1.2.2.69 What am I doing wrong here?

    I am assuming you are using a micro SD and if so which speed? 300X, 633X, or 1000X?

    i have a couple of class 10 micro SD cards they seem to work fine. Only way I can get that message is to try bigger than 32GB micro SD card.

    Not sure about the speed, but the card is a 32GB Micro SDHC. The P2000 manual says it supports cards up to 32GB, but which SD interfaces it supports are not specified ( https://cdn.automationdirect.com/sta...2userm/ch2.pdf , pg. 18).

    Would be nice if they'd be more specific about exactly what card and filesystem to use. :P

    Edit:

    Here's the results of f3probe:

    Good news: The device `/dev/mmcblk0 ' is the real thing

    Device geometry:

    *Usable* size: 29.82 GB (62535680 blocks)

    Announced size: 29.82 GB (62535680 blocks)

    Module: 32.00 GB (2^35 Bytes)

    Approximate cache size: 0.00 Byte (0 blocks), need-reset=no

    Physical block size: 512.00 Byte (2^9 Bytes)

    Probe time: 3 '17 "

    Operation: total time / count = avg time

    Read: 458.9ms / 4815 = 95us

    Write: 3 '15 " / 4192321 = 46us

    Reset: 0us / 1 = 0us

    Set the 4 digit password to anything but 0000 for the SD Card.

    Tried a couple of 32GB SD cards now and they all work as expected here

    See notes in help files P196, P270, & P193 as far as teh size and format

    Note: P Series CPUs ONLY support up to a 32GB FAT formatted USB pen drive ( P3 Series ) or MicroSD ( P2 Series ).
