Oh man. I got my M5 in today and I'm having ZERO luck getting a Micro SD card to read. Granted, I'm on a Mac but I even downloaded NTFS for Mac and still nothing. Anyone have any better experience with getting a properly formatted card from a Mac?

The card has to be formatted Fat32. I'm not sure how to do that on a Mac.

Didn't work as in you couldn't format your card in FAT32 format? If so, that's pretty weird, as I've done it many times and used in various DAPs without any issues.

No, the card is formatted but the M5 won't recognize it. I know how to erase a drive. Hahaha.

My initial instructions are for mmanolio, who specifically asked for how to format to FAT32 on a Mac.

Have you tried the official SD formatting tool PopZeus?


Gotcha. Yeah, I didn't even know there was an official SD formatting tool. I went to the website and it was all in Chinese so I tapped out. I'm assuming it's not available for Mac? It is possible but I will have trouble accessing a PC...
