Re: [Discuss OpenCPI] Programming SD card for Zed

Do you confirm that copying from /opt/opencpi/cdk/zed/sdcard-xilinx13_4/* is correct?
Media is write-able - this issue with sym links is a VM problem and I wondered if you had a simple workaround. I'll either chase it down or go to a native linux machine to copy it.

This is a source-install vs. rpm-install issue, and the docs should be clearer about this distinction. This is in fact a current work item.

If looks like the /media was mounted read-only?

Both RPM and source installations should allow you to do this.

Not sure what the "VM symbolic link issue" is. Other email?
