SDCard not working in M5Stack Cardputer-ADV

[MatheusMakro]

Hey everyone, here's the thing.
I have an M5Stack Cardputer ADV, and I've been having some problems with Bruce.

It doesn't initialize the SD card. If I remove and reinsert it, it identifies the SD card, but every time I try to run badusb and select the SD card, for example, the firmware resets.

I've tried several ways, and it always gives the same result.

The 1TB SD card is formatted in FAT32. I've tried formatting it using both Linux and Windows.
I was using M5Launcher, and I thought it might be causing the problem, so I removed it and installed Bruce directly. Same thing
I tested versions 1.15, 1.14, and the Beta (Released: 7/8/2026 12:30 AM)

I don't know if it's related, but the JS interpreter gives an error when I try to run the App Store:
SyntaxError: not enough memory at AppStore.Js:1:8333

Has anyone managed to use the SD card in the ADV card computer?

Edit
Minor change, I don't imagine it's the SD card, because it works with other firmwares, like the Launcher.

the golden rule is simple... for a esp32 s3 device or similar that have max 18mb flash memory then the perfect sd card size to use is 32GB that will work like a charm. Sometimes you can get 64gb to work but its not worth it .... But 1tb.... well for big files and videoes etc its perfect as start to warm up the spiffs or the blocks part up so they get some fresh air and some life then they work good but in the start to put small texxt files on a 1tb card wil l not be a good solution ... so many give up to bad for them u need warm them up the 1tb sd cards then they work smooth after.. but not for a esp32 s3 thats 32 gb regardless.. but im using a 1tb sd card with a usb transmitter on my ps5 and it works good to store my famous gta online videos ... yes i am Huzzla the one and only...

OMG, how did I not realize that?
Even when you try to format in FAT32 using the Windows GUI, it mentions this limitation.
I simply didn't pay attention to it.
I'm going to buy a 32GB flash drive to test this.

But thanks for the tip!

The culprit was indeed the 1TB SD card.
But it wasn't related to the AppStore.js error. I'll take a look at that later.

Thanks to the guy who gave the tip.
