DM8168 PG2.X SD BOOT

"NOTE: PG2.x devices support booting from SD cards larger than 4 GB in size."

My question:

1. Can you tell me the difference between PG2.X  and PG1.X

2. if PG2.X dm8168, sd card capacity should > 4GB, yes?  if PG1.X dm8168, sd card capacity should <= 4GB, yes?

    No, in PG2.x DM8168, SD card capacity can be < 4GB. Check the below info:

    Empty SD card (at least 256MB, preferably 4GB SDHC)

  • I see. Thanks a lot
