Hi my roboard does not boot from a micro sd card. It dosnt even detect it.
I have gotten my roboard to boot dsl from a usb flsh drive, but i want to save space and a usb port by using the sd card.

also my sd card does not "click" in when i press it into the sd port. it just springs back out.

i think it may be a faulty sd port, but i dont want to risk messing my roboard up by replacing it myself.

i have also tested many different micro sd cards.

is there any bios setting i need to have in order to boot from the sd?

i did that.

i have done a lot in the bios but it wont even detect the sd.

the only thing it will do is auto detect pri master when it is in, but it times out and says i dont have any boot media.

it seams... the auto detect pri master comes up but only when the sd card is in the slot.
other than that the bios shows nothing of detecting the sd card.
