New Yún image upgrade with USB stick

I didn't have an SD card handy to carry out the new Yún image upgrade, so I decided to try using a USB stick rather than an SD card.

I'm happy to report that it worked in exactly the same way as the simple upgrade documented at http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/YunSysupgrade.

Essentially, unzip the upgrade image onto a Fat formatted USB card and stick it into the Yún. The upgrade file was identified by the Yún's GIU and the upgrade just worked.

Of course, your milage may vary...

Cheers,

Steve

Interesting. Just downloaded the new image and realized I had to get a new MicroSD (have only boatloads of "regular" SD cards around). Will definitely try this before heading out tomorrow to get some new MicroSD cards...

thanks for posting your findings...
