Emax

which virtualisation app did you try EMXP on your mac?

> I was doing a little testing.

> I couldn't get EMXP to work using Virtual Box.
> it would run, and appeared to read an SD CARD ok.
>
> But - Writing an image to a SD card didn't work.
> Now, with that said-  I do have a PC and had copied an image from SD
using EMXP on the PC.
> I copied this file to USB, then to my mac desktop.
>
> Where you have a Hard drive image created by EMXP you can use the unix
"dd" command to write it to the flash!!!!!
> "dd" is direct to the device and doesn't do formatting, interpretation,
or anything- it takes whatever "input" and writes it to whatever output you
specify, as a raw stream.

> To clarify the process-

> I had a 32MB SD card in a SD to USB adapter on my Mac Pro.
>
> 1) In disk utility, I highlight the PC formatted flash in the adapter and
click the "Info" button.
> It reveals the disk is "disk3" in my case (yours could be different as I
have 3 other Hard disks, it could be disk1 or disk 2- this WILL vary).
> The disk identifier could even be changed by having CD / DVDs in the
optical drive�.
>
> 2) I UNMOUNT the volume (not EJECT) - if you eject you have to remove,
reinsert and start over�.
>
> 3) Open Terminal
>
> 4) The file is on my desktop, so I go there:
> cd Desktop
>
> 5) Now I run a dd command-

> **********WARNING- improper usage of the "dd" command to your existing
drives can destroy the data / bootability of your drives.
> Use the command with caution, and clearly understand what the parameters
are and their effect !!!!!  ********
>
> If you aren't sure- DON'T DO IT!
> I am not responsible if you improperly use the command and make your Mac
no longer boot!!!

> (where my EMXP EMAX HD image is named "EMAX1-1.EZ1")
>
> dd if=EMAX1-1.EZ1 of=/dev/disk3
>
> It took 90 seconds to complete.
> It writes the file as a stream until the write is complete�.
>
> To clarify-
> if   = INPUT FILE
> of = OUTPUT FILE / DEVICE
>
> For any Unix gurus out there- specifying block size did not speed up the
operation, as I did test that parameter in conjunction with "count"
>
> Took the flash to my Emax and it booted from it fine and loaded the bank.

> Anyways- just thought I would share what I had found out�.
