Increase Flash size / Larger CF card

Hi.

I've noticed that the storage on my 6850's fill up very easily, especially when upgrading the software - is it possible to swap the existing CF card for a larger one, transferring data from the old to the new?

Kind regards

hello

I think there is no memory update in the ALU catalogue.

But if you follow update procedure you will have no issue with that.

Especially IF you follow the procedure in A-Ls "Upgrade Instructions" you will run into low memory trap!

I had this warnings on every OS6850 following the upgrade path from old Firmware (<6.3.4) to the newest software:
+++ WARNING 12: Synchronization commands will not be accepted due to low flash
+++ space systemwide. Remove unwanted files from Primary before continuing
But if you delete unneeded files from old firmware BEFORE you synchronise working to certified directory it should work.

You could remove the content from the directory /flash/switch temporary if not used (I don't recommend this) or remove old firmware files which are not used by releases >6.4.3: k2diag.img/kdiag.img and krelease.img
