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:

> ok, so I have this working slight_smile you will need a new version of mother to be able to use the sdcard for patches, which I now have, and will release a beta ‘shortly’… also the instructions below are for those happy with linux, Id hope later we will be able to script these for everyone, to just fire off from the organelle lcd (like the upgrading of OS) steps required: a) get a bigger SD card, make sure its fast - Ive used a 32GB I had lying around (actually smaller are usually faster,…

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.
