[j-nsp] New flash card in M7i

[Matthias Gelbhardt]

Hi!

So, i have tried it today. I failed. I had put in a formatted compact  
flash, and I think that that was my failure, as the boot sequence was  
stuck on the compact flash medium. So the compact flash must not be  
formatted, it has to be blank, i.e. no partitions on it?

Regards,

Matthias
