Can't get it to work, I have already formatted it, with Panasonic SD formatter on Windows and
this command on linux: mkdosfs -I -F32 directory/device_name
But no matter what I tried I always got suck on a black screen after the tux logo.
My MicroSD is a Kingston 32 GB class 4.
Anyone knows what is wrong or what should I do?

The stick might be burned out, does it work normally otherwise?
 
I noticed the op mentioned other dingux linux's, i just got my ds2 back from a friend but lacking a ds atm, still ive kept an interest from years past when i saw mention of dstwo linux's. im in progress building a new kernel and rootfs based on opendingux from git. when im done hopefully some can get there issues fixed with the linux os problems ive read. thats possible depending on its capabilities with the .plg bootloader. bbs

little update:
i was thinking a lot about including a way to install gcc etc, and with using the dstwo sdk thats ported to uclib and other requirments; Could then have a way to build dstwo linux applications. and if the ds2 can utilize uclib then going from linux binary to standalone ds2 plugin shouldn't be much more work

That's a great first post after all this time. hopefully the new hardware in these recent batches also helps smooth things over.

@CyrusMainTea You're doing great work.
I'd like to see how the DSTWO Linux bootloader works, and possibly work/help towards making an open source version. I suppose it's reasonably simple, since loading a Linux image made for the target SoC isn't usually too complicated.
The OP seems to have abandoned the thread, and the current effort is a total violation of GPL licensing. A free DSTWO Linux loader would do a lot of good, and probably make some progress toward things like WiFi support from Linux, through the DS wifi chipset.

Keep formatting your SD card. I use the Windows default and/or SDFormatter. also try different SD cards. It's pretty fickle.
