Thumb drive dependency and Support Skill

Hardware Mark II
1

I’m leaving this Mycroft Mark II as vanilla as possible… Probably going to hack the other one.
I’m in no hurry… as long as there is movement. But… I am wondering about two things:

  1. am I supposed to be able to remove the USB thumb drive and leave the Mark II able to run on its own? If I remove it, it stops currently.
  2. Isn’t the “Support” skill supposed to work on Mark II as well? Will it ever without me hacking it?

I must say, if the Mark II is to be consumer ready… it’s not, and more documentation would’ve been a minimum

Perhaps with the Mark III, I guess.

The operating system (and all the skills you install) live on the thumb drive. I noticed when I was doing a teardown of mine that there wasn’t a micro SD card in use. You might be able to boot to a micro SD card if you put on in the Mycroft and ensure the boot happened from there instead of a USB.
