Question

STM32F407 SDIO FatFs: no connection to the µSD (no f_mount, no f_open)

Hey Guys,

I am setting up some STM32F407VETx on a chinese breakout board with �SD-card-slot. 

I try to read data from the sd card with SDIO (SD 4 bits Wide bus) and FatFs.

The Basic-Project is build with STM32 CubeMx and programmed in the OpenSTM32 Workbench. 

My Problem: 

The SD Card is ALWAYS in 'FR_NOT_READY'. I am not able to mount  / open / write any data, because the �C is always stuck in the following function:

/**

* @brief Checks for error conditions for R1 response.

* @param hsd SD handle

* @param SD_CMD The sent command index

* @retval SD Card error state

*/

static uint32_t SDMMC_GetCmdResp1(SDIO_TypeDef *SDIOx, uint8_t SD_CMD, uint32_t Timeout)

{

   ...

}

Because of the timeout in this function i get an errorcode '1' (R/W Error ) in diskio.c

I've tried 3 boards, 3 SD-cards - nothing is broken! I have no clue, what to do... 

I am just using the 'basic' fatfs functions, as you can the in the attachment.

Please help me!

:(

Greets!

Ps.: If you need more information, please write some comment!

Can you link to a vendor page, or insert a picture of the board?

Any schematic available/provided?

Is there a card detect on the socket?

Ok, i got the following news: 

When i build my project with an older version of CubeMx (4.22.1) then it uses an older version of FatFs (R0.11). With this setting everything works fine! 

But when i use the latest version of CubeMx (4.23.0) there is a newer version of FatFs (R0.12c) with it. 

I think the problem comes with the 

FatFs (R0.12c), ...

I have to use the newest version of CubeMx, so i have to fix this...

:(

Hi Jakob,

can you share the sd_diskio.c from your project?

are you calling the BSP_SD_Init() in  your main application?

The code the OP uses in the .PNG attach to the top post

Seem to be some problems with the Cube release

Hi Jakob and all,

the issue is that BSP_SD_Init() is not called in the sd_diskio.c file.This is a bug that is going to be fixed in the next release. Could you please modify the generated sd_diskio.c, in particular the SD_Initiaize() function as following and retest?

DSTATUS SD_initialize(BYTE lun)

{

  Stat = STA_NOINIT;

  if (BSP_SD_Init() == MSD_OK)

  {

    Stat = SD_CheckStatus(lun);

  }

  return Stat;

}

regards

Haithem.

Hi Haithem,

I modified the sd_diskio.c as you described, but the program now gets stuck in ff.c at

/* Find an FAT partition on the drive. Supports only generic partitioning rules, FDISK and SFD. */

bsect = 0;

fmt = check_fs(fs, bsect); /* Load sector 0 and check if it is an FAT-VBR as SFD */

And after a while it quits with 

if (fmt == 4) return FR_DISK_ERR; /* An error occured in the disk I/O layer */

Greets,

Jakob

Ps.: And yes, the SD Card has a working FAT system on it.

Hi Jakob,

the issue seems to be related to an error in the SD_read()/SD_Write() functions in the sd_dikio.c file.

Could you do the following:

 

in the function move_window() in the file ff.c check the res value after the sync_window():

 

  1. if it is

    different

    from

    FR_OK

    then rerun the program and put a break point in the function

    SD_Write() in the sd_diskio.c and check whether there is an issue in the BSP_SD_WriteBlocks_DMA()

     

  2. if is

    equal

    to

    FR_OK

    then check the whether the call below is successful or not:

    if (disk_read(fs->drv, fs->win.d8, sector, 1) != RES_OK)

    if

    it is not

    then put a break point in the SD_Read in the sd_diskio.c file and check the  

              BSP_SD_ReadBlocks_DMA()

regards
