    Will RVLoader run from the micro SD on a PMS PD 3?

    I already posted about this in the welcome thread, but I doubt that will be seen by the people it's aimed at, so - AFAIK, RVLoader doesn't work from an SD card, but the PMS PD 3 board only supports a micro SD card. It does mention that the SD card then shows up as a USB drive on your PC if you...
