External Memory Storage Support
Some Cyclones support external memory storage. The Cyclone Control SDK and Cyclone Control
Console both support images residing on external memory cards. The parameter
“selectedMediaType” is used to select between Cyclone internal Flash and external memory.
Image numbers will go in ascending order starting with image number 1. Internal images will be
counted first and external image numbers will start after the last internal image number. Image
number 1 will refer to the first image in the internal memory if there are any images in the Cyclone
internal memory, if there are no internal images, image 1 will refer to the first image in the external
memory.
Modifying images residing in external memory will only be available on Cyclones with the proper
license. Certain Cyclones may require a supplementary license to support external memory.
