#Sd card formatter 3.0 windows 7
The Windows 7 layout kills the flash controller in this card. Note the write speed difference with the correct format and layout. I wrote SdFormatter since people often don’t understand the internal structure of SD cards and the reasons for the SD File System Specification issued by the SD Association. The reason is that SD Association's standard specifies FAT16 for card's 64 MB - 2 GB and FAT32 for larger cards. I have had some mail about why there are no options for SdFormatter. dev/mmcblk3868160 b W95 sudo fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units toĭisk /dev/mmcblk0: 3965 MB, 3965190144 bytesĤ9 heads, 48 sectors/track, 3292 cylinders WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated.

This sketch can erase and/or format SD/SDHC cards.Įrase uses the card's fast flash erase command.įlash erase sets all data to 0X00 for most cardsĬards larger than 2 GB will be formatted FAT32 and If (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, 4)) sdError("card.init failed") To change chip select to pin 4 replace line 439 if (!card.init()) sdError("card.init failed") This will be a menu option in the future. This version has the chip select pin hard coded as the SPI SS pin. It chooses the best file system, FAT16/FAT32, the optimum cluster size, and aligns file system structures on the card's flash erase boundaries. For smaller cards, 16 - 64 MB, it use FAT16 instead of FAT12. PC/Mac/Linux format utilities do not comply with the above standard and do not produce optimal file system structures for the Arduino.įor SD/SDHC cards larger than 64 MB this sketch attempts to match the format generated by the formatter. It only runs on PCs and formats small SD cards as FAT12. I decided to write SdFormatter.pde since the only program I know that complies with the SD File System Specification is here: It is included as one of the examples, SdFormatter.pde, in the 20110414 beta of SdFat: I finally decided to write a sketch to format SD cards.
For three years I have been trying to find an easy way to correctly format SD cards for optimal use on the Arduino.
