Hello,
I just purchased an X15 and the EMMC memory is rapidly filling up. I would like to do one of two things…
- Boot directly from an external hard drive via USB and bypass EMMC
- Boot from eSATA
Questions…
- Is it possible to boot directly from USB and if so how?
- Are there more detailed directions on changing boot sequence than those provided in the reference manual?
The directions in the reference manual are very vague. Unsolder resistor and re-solder - schematic provided but vague. What resistor? Where are the resistors on the board? There are blank perforated holes on the board where the jumpers are referred to - no resistors. . What are the values for the resistors in ohms? Do I need to supply my own resistors? This is not very intuitive at all. I have some basic electronics knowledge and know how to use resistors and work with soldering components. Why would you design such a great board and leave the only way to change the boot sequence to removing and adding components to the PC board. How about a simple removable jumper! I’m really not happy with this one. - Can you set up the board to boot off the EMMC and have the rest of the OS (debian) on an external drive via USB?
I tried a google search but there really is not much out there on the X15
Thanks
MAB
