Hi all,

I tried to create a mission and upload it to my drone (Intel Aero Ready to Fly Drone). But I always get the error ‘Unable to write on Micro SD’. What could be the reason for this? And any idea how I can fix this?

Any suggestion is very much appreciated.

Regards,  
Hasini

Hi Luis,

I am still stuck in this. But I found this thread. It might help you.

> Rapi 2B + Raspbian Lite + Firmware1.5.5 with modifications that make px4 to run without Navio2 board. I got “Critical : Mission storage unable to write to MicroSD” from QGC and, actually all params including Airframe were reseted after I run “sudo ./px4 px4.config”. It seems only I have this problem because another person who has done the same hasn’ t seen this. I haven’ t edited anything about px4 storage. What’ s wrong with me?

If you find out a fix, please post it here too 🙂

Hasini

Long time had passed… I have fixed it with a simple line “dataman start” in startup script.

Hello,

I’m experiencing the same issue on a ModalAI m500 platform.

1. where is the startup script you are referring to?
2. can you paste your startup script here?
