Let's get started with a Pandora port

Thats right but sound is enabled. Turn the volume on. DigitalCD etc. works fine and the “beep” also.

I got on the SD-Card an ‘inconsistent map’ (Result of checkmap)

how can i repair this?

or is this a defect SD-card?

Thank you, i will try the sound :-)

How is your configure? At first I have a SD Card with two partitions. It was problematic. After any time the directory was broken. At this time I have two 32GB cards. Left FAT32 or ext3 for the Linux stuff and the RISC OS bootfiles (I have changed my Pandora bootloader-ext3load works also.) and right a 32 GB adfs card. Since … no problems.
Repair is problematic. Maybe with Discknight.

right card is 16gB adfs only. but after copying a
lot of stuff on the sd card, i got unrecoverable
errors.
i don’t know, if that’s caused by hardware,
or a defect sd card.
so i better take a new card.
can you give me advice, wich cards are
best?

You can read this http://pandorawiki.org/SD_compatibility_list .
You can try this https://www.sdcard.org/downloadsformatter/formatter_3/ before you buy a new card… I have found any voices in the web which recommend that to create a defined state.
I have problems with a scandisc SDHC (4GB and 16GB).
A scandisk Ultra SD HC1 16GB and 32GB works fine also a ADATA 32GB and two Platinium SDHC 32GB.
I hope that helps.

Useful, bookmarked!

Thank you, Rick. It was my bookmark. Before chistmas it works. Today I only copy but not checked this.

@Jeffrey
Many thanks for the LCD fix in the ROM (Other things I don’t have try yet.).

I haven’t submitted a fix for that yet! The new ROM is because Sprow’s been submitting some of his changes.

I have also come to realize. Too bad ;-). As I had in my short test again the rare condition. So I loving to use your program again ;-)

I tried now 3 different new SD-cards.

All the Type of the recommended SanDisc Ultra (10) with 16 Gb and with 32Gb.
But whenever i’m copying a lot of data (filling it more as 2 GB) it gets unrecoverable errors.

So i’m wondering if it’s a problem with my pandora, or the Risc Os Rom?

At this weekend I have also any problems with the newest ROM. “Bad Map space” I mean.
I changed back to the 03.Dec. ROM. I will check the card with DiscKnight.

How do you copy? If you have a bigger than 2GB FAT Card at the left slot and copy from this you must use fat32fs und mount the card via obey.

i copy from an ADFS-USB-stick to a ADFS-SD-Card (in the right slot of the pandora).
i would never dare to write to any not ADFS- device.
afaik fat biger as 2Gb are not supported?!
dunno what could happen if i try =:-(

so, what i did: to try to copy from the Usb-stick (with the backups of
my SA-RPCs all the datas (MP3, MAME- Roms, and Software (for trying compatibility)) over to the
Pandora, because i like to have everything portable.

but no success yet..

ADFS “disks”, there should be no problems. The only limit is 256GB.
SDFS has a 2GB limit on FAT volumes. Fat32fs is not automatically mounted. The ROM load from a larger works. Just as ext3 formatted. Only from RISCOS writing is not respectively only on FAT with fat32fs.
A similar limit has a FAT drive with 4GB but fat32fs starts automatically when available.
Is your software packed e.g. zip (for example compression 0 is fast). If not it could be that the filer incompatible software “sees” and tripped over.
Have you try to copy all the stuff on your Beagle (I mean you wrote you have one)?

Is the Pandora TVout usable under RISC OS?

Not everything is zipped.

But i copyed all stuff on to the beagle-board (on an usb-stick)
Well i copyed exactly from my RPCs over acess to the Beagle-board (ethernet) => USB-stick.
This gave me my RPC-Backup-USB-stick wich i used afterwards for:

and I also copyed from that USB-stick on to the Rasp-Pi onto a SD-card (on an external USB-card-reader). worked
witout errors there!

For A= 1 to 3

Insert a new SD-card
Format the SD-Card to ADFS
Drag Directory OldRPC to Harddisk1 on Pandora and drop
Copying..
Error-Window with ’ Bad free map space’ comes up

Reset Pandora
boot into Risc OS

Next A

Only on the Pandora it gave me errors ‘Bad free Map space’….

Error stayed after reset and check map…

BTW: i got the latest ROM

I never tryed tv out yet on the pandora (i got no cable anyway, would have preferred a hdmi-port instead…)

It should be work. My cards are old. Formatted before SDFS works. Maybe the new SDFS-formatter make problems. I don’t know. Try to format on a cardreader via scsi-option… I will try also any things.

The LCD fix is in todays ROM.

TV out doesn’t work yet. I think I know what’s needed to enable it, but I want to get a cable so I can test it properly myself.

Very good. Thank you.
I can solder a cable and then send it to you. As a belated Christmas gift. ;-)
But it takes 1-2 weeks. Not enough time.

When burning the Image linked in http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/11803-application-risc-os-on-the-pandora/ and booting from it, I get the following error:

Error: Unable to create files in “SDFS::Pandora.$.Scrap.ScrapDirs”, error returned is: “The disc is write protected. Move the write-protect tab and try again.” (Error number &6)

Why would that be happening? The SD card that was burnt to is a 16 GB Lexar SDHC. It also happened on a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra.

Can someone please tell me how to get it running on the Pandora? Thanks.

Here you’ll get the same answer;-)
Sorry, I had birthday yesterday, so until now the answer.
This is my test image and not an official release. It is only free download software. Where I was not sure, I asked the programmer.
I copied the image with Win32DiskImager on a 32GB Class10 and a 4GB Class4 card. No problems. I tried on my Batch1 and Rebirth Pandora, Ingo Reis on its 1GHz Pandora. No problems. It looks like a card problem. Have you formatted the card with SDFormatter (full / overwrite)?

Its not a card problem since I tried a different brand with the same result. The cards work just fine in Angstrom Linux. Maybe a 16 GB image made using DD would work.

RISC OS not use the same driver like Angström.
At this tim I recreate my Image. I will try any things…
