how to add test card to Portsdown

Post by ramiroflores » Fri May 24, 2024 2:14 am

I just built a Portsdown 4 to use with my Portsdown 2020. I see you can add a lot of Test Cards to Portsdown 4 but is there a way to add them without removing them all and taking out the SD card?

The process for adding custom test cards is described on this wiki page https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Portsdown_Test_Cards

You need to connect your Portsdown 4 to a LAN, and then use a Windows PC with a utility such as WinSCP to connect to the Portsdown. You can then add the files to the /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts/images folder. You do not need to delete the existing test cards.
