Hi all,
I got a Raspi bundle with an SD card included. I wanted to burn the eblocker image to the card on my mac using balena etcher. But balena etcher shows me the card as blocked. So I cant write to the sd card. Any ideas what I can do here?
Thanks
@taipan Maybe it's a stupid answer, but have you checked the little "Lock" (hardware) switch on the SD card is set to "unlocked/writable"?
I'm not aware there is a software lock - but I'm on Win, so my judging might not apply to macOS... 🤔
Good luck anyway.
THX!
@random tja, this is not a stupid answer and I expected it. I have looked for the switch but cant find it. I simply cant. I am not sure if there are cards which dont have it it the first place, but I cant find it.
Ok,take the dumbest user you can find on this planet, multiply by 10, then wiht pi (no joke) than square and you are by far not where my hardware skills are .........
Sorry to have wasted your time.
now it works and is currently updating. Cool.
@taipan Just to make sure: it was the hardware switch? (I got lost in the math 😉 and I‘m not sure about the final cure).
THX!
I am toooooo ashamed to explained what happened. But the cure was the hardware switch, just not on the micro SD card. 😉
