Where to start?

This page is a work in progress and will be updated, in the mean time please look at the other wiki pages for info, please stay tuned!

SD Card and Reader

You will need a high quality microSD card and reader from a reputable source. There are a surprising number of counterfeit cards on the market. The cards that come with the A30 are total garbage and should never be used for spruce. Cards of very high capacity (over 128gb) do not always work with the A30.

Format to FAT32

Using a program like Rufus you need to format your microSD card to FAT32 for spruce to work. FAT32 and exFAT ARE NOT THE SAME. On Mac FAT32 is called MS-DOS.
