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

It probably was not obvious from my comments. I'm using the device with the iGo maps and patched executable for a couple of years now. Thanks to the support of friendly users here (and elsewhere).

The problem popped up rather unexpected, because it did go well several times before.

But meanwhile I have a solution, even if I cannot really understand WHY.

I was adviced by "pieter" from a different forum to change the directory structure on the SD card from

\addons\content\map
\addons\content\poi
\addons\content\...

to

\content\map
\content\poi
\content\...

and change the pointing in "SYS.TXT" from

secondary_root="addons"

to

secondary_root="content"

Funny as it sounds, it DID help. No boot loop and all SD-content listed in the info screen.

If you now think, that it was the \content\ folder that was superfluous and I just copied the structure the wrong way - it's just what I thought too. And I tried that one too to make it

\addons\map
\addons\poi
\addons\...

with the correct(?) and previous setting

secondary_root="addons"

--> no boot loop, but no SD-content either. Just that what was installed in the internal memory.

I can't say that I fully understand WHY, but the suggestion did the magic. And just THAT variant.
