5.2 Hardware Setup
1. The microSD card must be formatted as FAT32. If this has not been previously done, please
do that now. Refer to Appendix A: Format the microSD Card for specific instructions.

terminal program of your choice.
3. If not previously installed, go to www.microzed.org to download and install the Silicon Labs
