[Project cancelled] my microsd card and my failures
aus9:
roberts
thankyou for your link and questions I will answer them soon
2) just to complete my current issues here is what I did immediately after multicard reading report with fdisk showing no partition
I pulled micro out of multi reader and into single SD reader with adaptor etc

new VERDICT
Can not use micro sd direct into multi reader

ok lets see what I have
connect lead to OTG port and connect usb to PC running TC and run lsusb

ok we have 18d1:0003 Google Inc. but google search suggests thats just a Chinese company
2) so went into android and looked but could not see anything but I am not an android expert
so downloaded an app called elixir2 which can generate a report and email you (me)

EDIT a quick google shows
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllWinner_A1X mentions mele sunxi etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip mentions variious processor specs
verdict....I do not have the rockchip so must have the allwinner?
roberts:
sun4i, You have an allwinner. It should boot from a properly prepared sd card with an appropriate script.bin.
aus9:
yeah that is what I hope too
1) Have I tried other distro images yes no success
2) Just did a rather strange test but it might lead me to believe its my android card slot that might be faulty?
Back in TC, check device pathway
dd image onto microsd
Instead of over-writing the script.bin .....which is what I have always done
I elected this test....to place my true script.bin as extra file called script0.bin
3) light tests with current sd card were
no lights for kb so ignored and mouse is as follows
power cord in...mouse on
when screen goes "blank"....mouse goes off
when android splashes re-apppear....mouse is on
4) reboot into TC with microsd card
I have lost the extra script bin
OK not much of test but something funny is happening
redo the overwrite to put correct (my) script.bin into folder
ensure umount yes
redo the tests............same negative result
Each time android completes boot....it claims usb storage is damaged
I now wonder if I have been lucky enough to get a lemon?
aus9:
ok last test for today
I amended my "alternative way to get script.bin" post to include a md5sum check
before you copy to usb stick
after you copy to usb stick
and
after you have made a dd image to microsd carrd
Therefore I can eliminate a bad copy of the script.bin
In that other post I also copied over a number of files including one called magic.bin
--- Code: ---file magic.bin
magic.bin: ASCII text, with very long lines, with no line terminators
strings magic.bin

I wonder if this acts like a magic cookie that some distros have?
I have just spotted its size its 512 bytes....the same size of a stage1 grub bootloader file, in other words a MBR
