SD formatting guide: SD Association's SD Card Formatter is now available for Linux #2368

Open mariomadproductions opened 11 months ago

mariomadproductions commented 11 months ago

SD Association released a Linux version: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/sd-memory-card-formatter-for-linux/ So this should probably be integrated into the Linux section of SD formatting guide, like it is for Windows/Mac (maybe leaving the built-in Linux tools as a alternative option).

@Gruetzig no need to be shy

It doesnt look like its open-source

mariomadproductions commented 11 months ago

Yeah this isn't an open source tool. This is a Linux version of the tool recommended on the Windows and Mac pages. I agree it would be a good idea to maintain the instructions for the open source tools (in addition).

Gruetzig commented 11 months ago

Whats the advantage of using that? I downloaded it and it seems to be a cli tool. mkfs.fat is preinstalled on most if not all distros, and it seems like unnecessary extra downloading.

mariomadproductions commented 11 months ago

I'm not sure what the advantage is exactly, but the guide suggests there is some advantage over third party/OS tools.

it's only used for windows afaik? we use it on windows as the built-in one is not usable at all it's not the case for mac, and surely linux
