- 2GB or lower: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device mount point from above) -s 64 -F 16`
- 2GB or lower: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 16`
- This creates a single FAT16 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
- 4GB - 128GB: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device mount point from above) -s 64 -F 32`
