MicroSD Boot Memory
MicroSD Boot Memory Connections
Refer to all requirements and recommendations for Minimal Connections
When the Propeller 2 starts up (or is reset) with this circuit, it will automatically boot from firmware saved
on the microSD card. If microSD boot fails, a further serial window of 60 seconds will be followed by
shutdown.
The microSD card must be formatted as FAT32, and the boot firmware file must be saved in the root of
the microSD card with the special filename: _P2_BOOT.BIX
Each Propeller 2 firmware image requires up to 512 KB. A single microSD card could hold multiple
firmware images or code snippets, and/or be used for user data. The microSD card is fully available to the
user program as a general memory area.
