The

code:

current.log

is not apparently logging new events.

Cause
These messages are due to repetitive card insertion testing performed in manufacturing using test firmware - with the resulting messages never having been cleared out after the testing.

These messages are not of themselves harmful, nor do they indicate a hardware flaw. However, since the log file is now in a state whereby by design current message logging has "rolled over" to overwrite the oldest messages archived, current messaging will not be evident unless the user reviews the log to locate the current end-of-thread. End-of-thread and end-of-file are each designated by a "

" label.

Solution/Workaround
The log file will need to be cleared, after which current messaging will appear at the end of the log, as expected.
