Describe how you formatted the SD card and added the image files.

If you are missing a required library, the code will not compile. What additional libraries did you install?

  • Find a way to insure that you are formatting the SD card with FAT16 or FAT32.
  • Use the image from the guide so you are using a known working image.

If the SD card is not formatted with a supported file system, it will essentially be non-readable. If the image is not of a supported size and type, it will be non-displayable.
