0.2.0 - boot the target from an image on a card

mediastorage

To fix a broken machine you need something to boot from, and that has meant walking to it with a USB stick.

Put disk images on the device's microSD card, pick one in the new Media tab, and the target sees a USB drive with that image in it. It boots from it like it would from a stick you plugged in yourself.

Two things to know in this version:

Reads run at 4 MHz, about 1.5 MB/s. A heavy graphical image takes minutes to boot; a small rescue image takes about a minute. Higher clock rates fail on this chip.
