Use Cases:

The /usr memory space of the Ewon Flexy can be expanded by using an SD card. This will allow you to store more and larger files.

 

How to Format:

The Flexy uses the ext3 filesystem which is commonly used in Linux computer systems. If you are using a Windows PC, you will need 3rd party software, such as EaseUs Partition Master Free

You must format the card using MBR (not GPT). Select the EXT3 filesystem and the 4KB cluster size:

Once the card is formatted, it can be inserted it into the Flexy (must be powered off). When the Flexy is powered on, the SD Card will be mounted under /usr/sdext.
