Raspberry Pi Dramble benchmark for ev3dev
#!/bin/bash
# Raspberry Pi microSD card benchmark script.
#
# A script I use to automate the running and reporting of benchmarks I compile
# for: http://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards
#
# Usage:
# $ wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dlech/e922dbdc870d0e1d2c6065363c189345/raw/microsd-benchmarks.sh
# $ sudo bash microsd-benchmarks.sh
#
# Another good benchmark:
# $ curl http://www.nmacleod.com/public/sdbench.sh | sudo bash
