I've had the thing a month. I would just like some version that would work at least to make the card. I should have started the burning thing when I was waiting for the board. I just never had any problem loading software before.
Possibly my problem is the card. That whole verify sight just looked like a further nightmare. What card should I buy that is reputable as far as this stuff goes?
Ah yes, this is the kind of confusion I wanted to avoid. You DO need to unzip the file to burn the PhoenixCard image or a DD image. As long as you use the right software to burn the right image, there should not be problems.
The microSD card being widely recommended is the Samsung EVO or Samsung EVO+, so if you don't want to verify your card, try one of those. Try and buy it from a reputable source, too.
Remember: PhoenixCard images can only be burned with the PhoenixCard software. DD images can be burned via the dd command in a terminal, or using software such as Win32DiskImager or Rufus.
If you have tried writing images many times to the microSD and think there may be residual files or partitions still in existence on the card causing problems, you might try SD card formatter before trying to burn again.
