Overview
This patch adds an SD card formatting tool (
SDFmt
) that formats the currently inserted SD card using the ESP32 Arduino framework's SD card library.Rationale
I had recently ordered some 256MB SD cards (Class 4) to use with the CYD. The CYD was unable to utilize the SD card and produced the following error:
I attempted to remedy the situation by formatting the card with the following tools:
Regardless, the card continued to fail to mount with the
no valid FAT volume
error message. However, I was able to remedy the situation using theformat_if_empty
flag of theSDFS::begin
method. The caveat of this solution is that the resulting formatted card can be utilized by the CYD, but none of the other platforms recognize it as a valid format.I think this is a worthwhile addition to the CYD collection for users seeking out smaller capacity SD cards that may run into the same scenario.
