Where is an SD Card image that works?

[dmackenziephoto]

Flashed the Parallella16_z7020wGPIO_131220.zip IMG onto my SD card. Plugged it in. Turned on the power then nothing. Can't see an IP address to connect too, and all I get on the monitor is a message saying Not Optimum Mode.

Can someone point me at an SD Card image that works? Currently all I have is an expensive ornament.

Apologies for all the confusion with the SD card image!!!

Please follow the SD card creation recipe below:

The issue for me is getting the SD card partitioned first. the "flexible" instructions (http://www.parallella.org/create-sdcard/) say to create a
128MB FAT32 + Remainder (>6GB) EXT4.
I have not found a windoze program to do that yet
MiniTool Partition Wizard does not all anything larger than 64KB for a FAT32.
SDFormat, SDMinste, don't recognize the type of SD card.

Yes I plan to setup a dual boot on the laptop for Ubuntu but was hoping to validate the 2 parallella boards first.

Anyone been able to partition with windoze per the "flexible" instructions?

MJ
