Thread: Becker P50 - boot loop with essentially empty external SD-Card

Hi folks,

I seem to have messed up my trusty old Becker P50. I have used it a couple of years now with an external 16G SD-Card. My last map was iGO_HERE_Europe_2022.Q4.
So far so easy. I now try to install the 2023.Q4 and observe a boot loop.

Tying to figure out the problem, I meanwhile stripped down the external memory to a freshly formatted SD card - which works (my home country installed locally). There is a "device.nng" created, so I'm sure the drive is recognized.

I can create a directory structure "/addons/content" without problem. Device boots up fine and is ready to go.

But as soon as I create an empty "addons/content/map" - I get the boot loop again.

The SW core is patched and I have the license file all installed on the internal memory - as usual.

I can copy a couple of maps/POI/, ... to the internal memory but that one is limited and I'd rather have ALL of the changing content external, as I can swap the SD-Card in a fast reader instead of trickling the gigabytes through the USB2 port on the device.

SO what might be the problem?

It doesn't seem to be "the map" as the maps seem to work OK when placed on the internal storage.

There has been a Windows Software to manage the content but that one simply declares "no device found" for any OS later than Windows-7 :-(
