Take a picture of the board from the front and the back and we can start there.

Re: Tiny Vortex86-based DOS gaming PC - weeCee

Here it is.
Thanks for your interest!

Still no SOM304RD52VINE1? Please take a picture of your board from the back

I need to see the back of the Weecee board you are using.

What you show in the photos is not SOM304RD52VINE1 and that's where I would see the problem. SOM304RD52VINE1 looks like this and as you can see there are many different things. Which SOM did you buy?

I ordered it from an online shop in China.

1. I need to know exactly what SOM you have (you can find out from the order)
2. Take a picture of the back of the weecee board you are using

If I don't have this information I can't help you. Right, you should have this SOM https://icop-shop.com/product/som304rd52vine1/

The model name is probably this.

I hacked the dxsetup32.dll file earlier so it won't bug you about incompatible CPU anymore.
You should be able to install DirectX 9.0c on the weecee using it.

Re: DirectX 9 setup - mod to skip CPU check?

Could you provide a link to the exact DirectX 9.0c installer that you used? There seems to be several "revisions" for 9.0c. Your patched DLL doesn't work with a couple of these ones below.

Hi!
I need help with my SD card not being recognised.

20231104_152445.jpg

Unfortunately, I got two that had Nand Flash attached to them.
Fortunately, the information here said I only needed to remove one resistor, so I removed it.

20231104_152515.jpg

But it doesn't recognize the SD card.

20231104_153007 copy.jpg

As you can see in the picture, it gets stuck on the boot screen for a while and eventually fails to recognize it.

20231104_152830.jpg

I have two vortex86's and as a test, I removed the NAND flash from one of the boards.

But still the same, it wouldn't recognize the SD card.

20231104_152503.jpg

One thing that changed when I removed the Nand Flash is that the IDE LEDs that used to blink hard on boot no longer blink.

Apart from this symptom, the rest of the symptoms are the same as those of the SD card not being recognised by other cards with a NAND flash.

I suspected it was a fault in the base motherboard, so I built another base motherboard and tested it.

I also tested the SD card, switching between 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB Samsung SanDisks.

However, I still have the same problem.

I'm looking for help from anyone who can give me a clue, even a small hint.

Thanks as always.

I am still struggling to resolve the issue of the microSD card not being recognized.

No matter how much I try this and that with my limited knowledge, the issue does not seem to be resolved.

Could it be that the SD card is not being recognized due to an issue with the board itself?

Is there anyone who can advise me on the SD card recognition issue, either from a hardware or software perspective?

Your small attention would be of great help to me.

To add to that, if I boot from a USB drive, the sound card and games run fine!

Thanks!

I had a similar issue with mine, it ended up being the soldering on the microSD card slot itself. I would suggest reflowing those joints and maybe even check your resistors on the bottom side. the signals are very sensitive so I would verify that everything is making good contact.
Once I sorted that out with mine it detected the SD card pretty much immediately.
