PD4 test cards

Post by g4saq » Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:31 am

I want to add a test card to my Portsdown 4 SD card. I have followed the Wiki (https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Portsdown_Test_Cards) to prepare 3 images but I can't transfer them to the folder on my Pi SD card.
I am using a Win11 PC and I have loaded a program called 'DiskInternals Linux Reader'. I am able to look at the files on the SD card using this program but I can't copy/paste my image files.
Do I need a Linux PC to do this or is there a workaround for Windows, please?
Russ.

Hi Russ

I recommend the free WinSCP https://winscp.net/eng/download.php. It has a drag and drop interface, so is really easy to use.

There is another simpler and faster solution!
I made this guide in Italian which you can easily translate... if you need, ask.
