probably, as all sticks need formatting to fat32 for proper use in almost anything

you may get away with fat16 now and again, but fat32 is the correct format

for meoboot to work the stick needs to be formatted in linux by the box itself.

but for flashing the box with your backup image or an entirely new image,formatting in FAT32 is needed.
