formats the external flash as a file system.
Most problems with normal mode operation occur either because ``main.py`` is
missing, out-of-date or corrupt. These issues most commonly result in an
entirely black screen when running the watch is running in normal mode.
missing, out-of-date or corrupt, or because too many applications are being started
by default, resulting in the system running out of RAM.
Out of memory problems are best addressed by reducing the number of applications you
have set to automatically load (auto_load in wasp.toml). If you are developing your
own application, it is best that you load the minimal set of applications to have
the maximum possible amount of available RAM and minimum fragmentation. For example,
only autoloading the software app will get you the maximum amount of RAM.
