vvvrrooomm | 6 years ago | on: Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a MicroSD Card (2018)

Olympia NC560 Cash counter: can update to new bills from sd-card, the manual states "Micro-SD memory card with a capacity of 1GB up to 8GB".

We tried a 32GB card first, the update seamed to run fine. To finalize the update file is deleted from the sd-card. This all happened, then the device was stuck in firmware-update mode (undocumented state). Tried it again with a 4GB sd-card, update worked fine.

We assume the update file was spread beyond the 8GB boundary

IMO the solution is git submodules. The problem with submodules mostly is the horrible workflow and the missing tool integration. Varying dependencies could result in separate parent repos that contain different subsets of submodules. A simple script can fix tooling: first commit the submodule changes then create the parent repo commit.
