FUNCTION:

Create a filesystem for the partition specified on the NAND Flash

mkfs

command

-f

option: force creation of filesystem
invoking this option will overwrite any existing file-
system on the partition specified

DESCRIPTION:

This command creates a FAT-16 filesystem.

If the option -f is not used and a FAT filesystem already exists on the
partition specified, an error message is returned.

has a FAT filesystem will result in the loss of any data stored on this
partition.

If a partition has a filesystem other than FAT, it will not be recognized
and will be overwritten.
