SD Card Insertion

Make sure a microSD card is inserted into your MeowKit before using storage-related features or updating firmware. The microSD card is used to store apps, assets, configuration files, media, logs, and other user data. MeowKit supports FAT16 and FAT32 file systems and is compatible with most microSD / microSDHC cards. For the best compatibility and performance, we recommend using a standard 8–32 GB FAT32-formatted microSD card. Higher-capacity cards may require longer initialization times and can vary depending on card quality and formatting. If the card is not recognized properly, please reformat it to FAT32 before use.
