SD-card. 64GB with 4000GB partition, formatted FAT32 and 32K

AI-Edge is stuck on taking an image for 30minutes, does not progress:

Please see the following line:

0d00h00m37s] 2025-01-07T19:58:18 [MAINCTRL] Autostart is not enabled -> Not starting Flow

Maybe Demo Mode in config.ini enabled?

NB: since this parameter is misleading, it will be removed in the 16 release.

EDIT: put the device on 2A USB charger instead of powered USB hub, camera reference image taking started to work.
