I have a 64GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD just gathering dust and I am very interested in swapping the MicroSD in my Organelle M with it. As the system files are hosted here and there is a boot partition, is there a step by step guide to transitioning to a new MicroSD card? The 64Gb should provide plenty of storage for patches. Please let me know if there is a process that is documented.
you can just put a new image on the 64b card,
and then you need to extend the partition used for the patches.
this is pretty easy, as the patches are on a separate partition (mounted as /sdcard) to the main OS (aka rootfs)
I’ll update my resizeSDcard patch in next few weeks,
but you can do it manually as described here:
note: the device partitions have changed between the organelle-1 and organelle-m, so you will need to change these when following the process - this is why the resizeSDCard won’t work, and would make you organelle-m unbootable (except ive made it so it won’t run on the M ) - this is what i need to update in the patch.
its trivial change - but the whole change, test, upload - ends up a taking a little more time that I have available at the moment.
I ended up deleting and recreating the 3rd partition and then extending the file system to it. This worked well and gives me a 55GB storage space on a Sandisk Ultra. Thanks for all of the help.
I just get the organelle M and first spend my time reading this forum
i’m surprise, the manual say it is easy to paste patchs in the organelle, but don’t see a folder for patchs
as i read this forum, do i understand that i need to create a new partition for patchs on my s’ card ? ( a 32Go )
My english is not good
Do you on mac os if this partitionning sd card is easy ?
On the OS4.x ( which is what comes with organelleM) … the Patches directly already exists on the sdcard it came with.
( this is where all the factory patches live)
/sdcard/Patches
If you use WiFi as described in the manual you should be able to see this.
Hello @fabamarie ,
Not sure if you figured it out, but just in case: your mac won’t be able to display the /sdcard partition, as it’s formatted for linux and not natively viewable on mac or windows. Even if you don’t have a WiFi access, the organelle can generate its own network for you to access the patch manager. See the manual about this.
Hi @clemi thank you for your response. Please pardon my ignorance, complete noob here.I only have a windows based laptop, So I would need to utilize the Organelle to create a network?
Hello Keith, and no problem, I’m happy to help if I can!
My comment above about the Organelle’s own network (AP mode) was for @fabamarie, as they were trying to copy new patches to the organelle but didn’t have WiFi.
You are trying to resize the SD card, correct?
GParted is a disk utility for linux, very convenient for editing and resizing disk partitions. (but you need a linux system to run it, either a computer or a virtual machine.)
You can do it manually as well, but that requires some terminal use. (see this post)
