    After SX lite install I sometimes get a black screen after the SXOS splash screen when cold booting to emunand. When this happens I have to do a hard reset of the switch lite and try again. The next time it boots emunand fine. Software is 10.2.0 and SXOS is 3.0.5. Anyone else have this issue?

    Are you able to monitor the lights on the SX lite chip during boot? If it is green each time, I would try another SD card if possible.

    I can't see the light on the chip with the back on but assume that it is green as I'm getting to the SXOS splash screen every time. It's just loading the emunand that is the issue. Sometimes it boots fine and others it just stays on a black screen and requires a hard reset to get out of

    This is quite common on 10.2 / 3.05 - Samsungs do this the most. TX has known about the issue. I have a 512gb that rarely does this and I have an identical 512gb that takes 3-5 boots to load. Lets see if TX will fix this with 3.06.

    Lets hope so. My original SD card was a 256GB mymemory SD card. Now using a sandisk 128GB and I have no issues. Would be nice to use the bigger card again though

    So far all cards work for me just some take a few tries to boot. Emunand that is. 1TB micro works.
