[atlas] Replacing flash key

Hi,

I was asking because I had a similar issue recently. If I remember correctly, I inserted the USB key before starting the probe, and after few minutes I checked the USB key again and it was partitioned with 3 1GB partitions.

I might also be wrong, because I was playing around with the USB key, but I think it's worth a try.

Regards,
Boris

Hello Boris,

Do not remember exactly, but most likely I did reboot probe with the new key inserted at least once. In any case, I can do this test if you have some specific reasons to believe it will change something.

You said you inserted the USB key 10 minutes after the probe boot. Have you tried to start the probe with the key already inserted?

Cheers,
Boris

My V3 probe (26656) disconnected yesterday, simple reboots didn't help. Suspecting problem with USB key I first tried to replace it with a new one. I took bog standard Transcend JetFlash 350 8Gb right out of the wrapping and inserted it into a started probe 10 minutes after boot. Did not format the flash key or alter it in any way, because someone previously said that it is not necessary. Unfortunately, probe did not come up, and the flash key seems unchanged after approximately 1 hour wait. What should I do to switch to a new flash key? Also, did someone tried connecting HDDs/SSDs, shouldn't they work better?

(Probe did appear after I inserted previously used flash key into it, but I suspect problem will re-occur in the future, so I'd like to know a way to fix it more permanently.)
