__TOC__
==Compatibility==
Before installation, make sure your SD card is compatible with {{{name}}} devices:
<ol>
<li>Maximum supported (tested) SD card capacity is '''64GB'''.</li>
<li>Supported (tested) formats are: '''FAT32''', '''NTFS''', '''ext2''', '''ext3''', '''ext4'''.</li>
<li>SD cards with a fixed '''1.8V''' voltage are not supported. Make sure your memory card supports '''3.3V''' by referring to manufacturer's documentation.</li>
<li>The device is compatible only with <b>microSD</b> size memory cards.</li>
</ol>

==={{{name}}} disclaimer===
<span style="color:red"><b>Note: </b></span>Due to hardware limitations, {{{name}}} devices do not support firmware flashing while an SD card is inserted into the device. To successfully perform a firmware upgrade, it is required to remove the memory card first. Otherwise there is a high risk of data and configuration loss.

==Results==
Once device is booted up with an SD card installed, you can confirm it is recognized by navigating to '''[[{{{name}}}_USB_Tools#Mounted_File_Systems | USB Tools]]''' WebUI page. Under '''Mounted File Systems''' the SD card should be visible:
[[File:Networking_device_manual_sd_card_mounted_file_systems.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
You may now use various functionality found in '''[[{{{name}}}_USB_Tools | USB Tools]]''' with the SD card instead of a USB device.
If you are having trouble with the device recognizing your SD card, please refer to the '''Troubleshooting''' section below.
==Troubleshooting==
<ol>
<li>Double check the SD card is '''[[{{{name}}}_SD_Card#Compatibility | compatible]]''' with {{{name}}} devices.</li>
<li>Make sure the SD card is not corrupted. We recommend formatting it before first installation.</li>
</ol>
===Formatting SD card using device===
----
----
If you are unable to format the memory card using other means, it is possible to do it directly on {{{name}}} device.
====Pre-requisites====
----
<ol>
<li>Device must have WAN access.</li>
<li>SD card must be recognized by the filesystem.</li>
</ol>
[[File:Sd_card_measurments.png]]
====Procedure====
----
<ol>
<li>Connect to device's '''[[{{{name}}}_CLI | CLI]]'''.</li>
<li>Use command <code>ls /dev/ | grep mmc</code> to display recognized memory cards:</li>
<code>root@Teltonika-{{{name}}}:~# ls /dev/ | grep mmc</br>
mmcblk0</br>
<b>mmcblk0p1</b> ← SD card</code>
<li>Once confirmed the SD is recognized, we may start the formatting procedure:</li>
<li>Run commands <code>opkg update</code> and <code>opkg install e2fsprogs</code> to download required tools.</li>
<li>Unmount the SD card with command <code>umount /dev/mmcblk0p1</code></li>
<li>Start formatting with command <code>mkfs.ext<b>X</b> /devmmcblk0p1</code> where X is either 2 (for ext2 format), 3 (for ext3 format) or 4 (for ext4 format).</li>
<li>A successful format procedure should look like this:</li>
<code>root@Teltonika-RUT955:~# mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1</br>
mke2fs 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020)</br>
/dev/mmcblk0p1 contains a ntfs file system labelled '64gb'</br>
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y</br>
Creating filesystem with 15132670 4k blocks and 3784704 inodes</br>
Filesystem UUID: 6053673b-d6b0-420d-84da-0669b71a5211</br>

</br>
Allocating group tables: done </br>
Writing inode tables: done</br>
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done</code></br>
<li>Reboot the {{{name}}} device and refer to '''[[{{{name}}}_SD_Card#Results | Results]]''' section</li>
</ol>
<b>Note: </b> The <i>Writing inode tables</i> section might take a long time depending on the size of your SD card (10+ minutes with 64GB SD).
