SD-card

The CANedge uses an extractable SD-card to store the file system (see Filesystem for more information).

See Replacing SD-card for information on how to replace the SD-card.

Warning

Never extract the SD-card while the device is on. Remove power first and wait a few seconds for the device to turn off.

Type

The CANedge uses a specifically selected industrial grade SD-card with special timing constraints to ensure safe shutdown when power is lost.

Warning

The device cannot be guaranteed to work if the pre-installed SD-card is replaced by a card of another type.
