Format SD card in the device

A new SD card is inserted into the device. It must be formatted.

The SD card must be formatted in a special format (EXT4). This can be done easily using a command within the device.

To do this, please start the optiControl software and open the command line.

Then enter the command ‘sdformat’. The SD card will then be formatted and the network connection to the device will be closed.

Then perform a device search again and reconnect the device. To check, enter the command ‘lsblk’ in the command line. The following result will appear:
