Revision History:

2023-5-23: Updated removal step 4 to state "destroy and discard the Micro SD card after removal".

NOTE: This procedure replaces the Micro SD card that stores navigation information for Tegra based MCUs. To replace the SD card that has the gateway configuration and information, refer to GATEWAY SD CARD - MEDIA CONTROL UNIT (REMOVE AND REPLACE) .

NOTE: The Micro SD cards now come preloaded with regional maps. Loading maps onto the MCU is no longer required.

CAUTION: Atom based MCUs use a Micro SD card for gateway configuration and information. Make sure to use the correct card for the correct MCU model to prevent firmware update failure and other errors.

NOTE: Refer to these Toolbox articles for additional information:
