Redpitaya Forum

Iissue installing an application manually. The instructions on the Quick Start web page state the following:

"Instruments can also be installed manually by downloading and unzipping install packages and copying them to the micro SD card (to /opt/www/apps/)."

1. I downloaded scope-latest.zip on to my PC
2. Unzipped it to a folder named "scope".
3. Connected to the red pitaya using WinScp (IP: 192.168.128.1, un: root, psw: root)
4. Attempt to copy folder "scope" to /opt/www/apps/ which fails due to Error: "Read only File System"

Question: is the password "root" not the correct one to be able to write to the "apps" folder?

Thanks
Jim

Solved. SD card must be removed from red pitaya, inserted into PC (via usb), then copied to the apps folder.

You also can make the filesystem writable by invoking 'rw'. After you're done use 'ro' to make it read-only again.
