The USB drive display a directory structure and file names that are corrupted (strange symbols). How can I repair this? Is there a disk image that I can download from somewhere? ------------- |

There is a disk image attached to the latest release here: https://github.com/mitxela/clock4/releases The scripts to flash the clock and/or create a disk image are here: https://github.com/mitxela/clock4/blob/master/qspi/flash.sh ------------- |

Sorry, but I have spent the last couple of hours trying to get this to run. The problem is that I have a Windows system. I have tried installing WSL & Git, overcame many errors such as missing FAT utilities, etc., but now I am still stuck. The problem is that (in Windows) the USB drive now appears to be empty and the script fails right at the start when trying to find a "mitxela_Precision_Clock" device. There isn't one... Is there some Windows utility that would allow me to flash the image onto the USB drive? FYI the clock is still working, albeit it has not picked up summer time... ------------- |

Ah, sorry, the bash script won't work on windows, but you don't need it to use the image. I shouldn't have mentioned it. Download the archive from that release page ( clock4-2026-02-19.zip ) and extract the disk image ( disk-image/clock-2026-02-19.img ). Ignore everything else. You need to install a windows disk imaging utility. One option is Win32 Disk Imager If you are able to write the image to the device using that utility, it should restore everything to working order, nothing else needed, the timezone maps and rules should all come back. ------------- |
