Advise: Size of the SD Card

[fmma]

Dear Parallella community,

I could not find any recommendations about the size of the SD card. On a raspberry, 8 Gbyte is more than sufficient and I'm tempted to order a class 10 8 Gbyte card. I'm wondering if someone could give me some advise if I need a large card for the parallella.

Many Thanks

Frank

Hi Frank,

Do you have any 8GB micro-SD cards you can try out? Theoretically an 8GB card should have enough space for the default distro image, but a decent 16GB card is probably what I'd recommend.

Here's the guide on how to create the SD card...

Here's a thorough beginners guide by Dr.BeauWebber, also recommends going for a 16GB micro-SD card...
