SDActive released

[Dave Higton]

I‘ve just put up SDActive on my web site: http://www.apts04.dsl.pipex.com

You may find this useful if you populate a micro SD card with files
yourself; all the SD cards I‘ve bought recently are correctly FAT
formatted, but won‘t boot unless the first partition is marked as
Active. My app makes it dead easy to mark it as either Active or
Inactive (it tells you what the current state is, and allows you to
change it if you wish). It also textifies the four partition table
entries.

Note: this first version requires that the card be in a card reader/
writer — it will NOT work on the card in the built in interface. (I
hope to release a later version that will.) On the plus side, it
will work with anything that sees card reader/writers via SCSIFS,
which means it will work on BeagleBoard, BeagleBoard xM and Iyonix.
