<![CDATA[Mounting SD Card]]>Hello,
I recently received several (6 actually) M5Stack devices. After doing the capacitor mod, I've been able to download and test the supplied demos. Working with the FactoryTest sketch, I'm having problems mounting the SD Card. Here is my serial debug output:

[W][sd_diskio.cpp:137] sdCommand(): no token received
[W][sd_diskio.cpp:137] sdCommand(): no token received
[W][sd_diskio.cpp:137] sdCommand(): no token received
[W][sd_diskio.cpp:471] ff_sd_initialize(): GO_IDLE_STATE failed
[E][sd_diskio.cpp:739] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed 0x(3)
Card Mount Failed

I've tried other SD Card sketches with no luck. I've tried formatting (Windows & SD Formatter App) three different 3 (64gb microSD) sd cards also no luck.

Any help would be appreciated!

I couldn't see why not, but the spec listed 16 Gb. I would not expect 64 Gb to work though. ....a step too far.

Samsung 32GB passes the write/read hello.txt
It's this model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWN9Q99/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It took me 2 days to pull the trigger on it because when the cpu is $40, it feels wrong to pay $12, but look at the adapter, and the speed, if the SD controller isn't the bottleneck it's well worth it.

I'm using Sandisk Ultra.

I tried with a 8GB FAT formatted SD card as you suggested but no luck.

And if I don't rember wrong I think it needs to be formated as FAT
