[Ovmsdev] Modem fails to connect

[Michael Balzer]

Greg,

1. See https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/111 -- TL;DR: you should update to an "edge" build or build yourself.

2. You need to format the SD card with FAT32, also users reported the MacOS FAT32 format would not be accepted by the module (I can't test that, all Linux
formatted cards work). There are some issues with the FAT implementation in esp-idf, i.e. with reading damaged partitions.

Regards,
Michael
