SD Formatting

// ANCHOR: steps

  1. Insert a fresh SD card into the SD card slot or connect it via a USB card reader to your computer

    • microSD or standard SD card can be used

  2. Launch a terminal

  3. {{ #include finding-device-name.md: content }}

  4. Before formatting, you need to unmount the SD card. Replace /dev/sdX1 with the actual partition name you identified in the previous step:

    • sudo umount /dev/sdX1

  5. Use the mkfs command to format the SD card. You can choose the file system type (e.g., vfat for FAT32, ext4, etc.). Replace /dev/sdX with the actual device name (without the partition number):

    • sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX

  6. You can verify that the SD card has been formatted by running lsblk again or by checking the file system type:

    • lsblk -f

  7. Once formatting is complete, you can safely remove physically or eject the SD card:

    • sudo eject /dev/sdX //ANCHOR_END:steps
