I imagine I'm not the only person who has encountered this, but I recently picked up a few microSD cards that I wanted to use with the Pine. The problem I'm having is when I try to use the DD images for a 32GB card, it says that the image is too big, not enough sectors available (using Win32DiskImager).
I purchased three of the same card, SanDisk Ultra 32GB class 10, UHS-1. All three show the exact same size of 29.8GB. I know companies do the 1000 instead of 1024 thing for how they calculate GB, and if you do that for KB, MB, and GB, you're looking at 29.8GB actual, so that makes sense.
But I would think the image for a 32Gb card should fit on a "32GB" card. Is anyone else having this same issue? Am I missing something? Do I need to format the cards first in a different way? I tried to format, I think it was exFAT32. I could also select sector size (it was at 512). What are the correct settings to format the card to? Or, should I use the 16GB image on the 32Gb card in order to have some storage space available? Thanks for the help.
