Flashed Devo 7E wrong, USB read-only, weird files was created by idiot
So like an idiot I skipped over parts of the manual and tried to flash deviation-emu_devo7e-v5.0.0.zip onto my new Devo 7E with the Deviation Updater.
Afterwards it made weird sounds starting up, and after actually reading the manual I flashed deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0.zip, which boots fine,
but the USB drive is strange: Everything is read-only, and there are strange files in the main directory:

Any chance to fix this?

I ran the Deviation Uploader again with the 7E firmware and had "Format" ticked, with the problem persisting. Is this what you meant?

No, i thought after firmware uploud right mouse click on the USB drive and try to format with fat like you would format an ordinary USB stick.

I'm using Linux, so I used the command line to do it, but if formated the drive as fat. Now the drive is writeable, but although it says there are 2MB free space, I cannot copy the contents of deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0 (minus .zip and .dfu) to it, because it claims insufficient space.

I'm really stuck now.

It should be OK, the files all together are about 684KB so they must fit!
I checked my Devo 7E and there are also only 2MB so 2MB is totally ok.....
look here and try again (you need only this files/folders - nothing else !!)

So I think I have it fixed now. I seemed to have had the same problem as www.deviationtx.com/forum/6-general-disc...untu?screenMode=none and used the same solution, creating an image with mkfat.py and then just dd-ing it onto the device. It now boots up, and the files are writeable. I suspect that the problem is that Linux wants to create a partition table and then format partitions, but the device needs to be formated as one.

Thank you for your help.
Cheers
