5.4.2 Software Requirements
When using Windows operation system, to read a Linux partition a software file system driver is
required; in this example we are using “Linux File Systems for Windows” by Paragon but other
Windows Linux reader can be used as well (these are however not tested by Universal Robots).

5.4.3 How to Access Linux Partition from Windows
With the software from Paragon you can access all partitions on the SD-card.
The files needed are located on the partition called datafs
If the partition is not shown, it could be it is not mounted automatically.
To correct this, open the Paragon software, select the partition (1), select the Mount icon (2), select
the Volume drive letter (3) then Mount (4).
