Hi,

Kindly help me to find out the example code for read/write the SD card via SPI. I am trying to write or copy the files both USB disk and/or SD card. Please advice.

There should be the AdaFruit shield code under the HAL BSP directories, and some FatFs code in the Application directories.

Tips, buy me a coffee, or three.. PayPal Venmo Up vote any posts that you find helpful, it shows what's working..

Command level SPI SD routine

STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.16.0\Drivers\BSP\Adafruit_Shield\stm32_adafruit_sd.c

Board level SPI SD support routines

STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.16.0\Drivers\BSP\STM32F4xx-Nucleo\stm32f4xx_nucleo.c

Relatively portable across a number of STM32 platforms/families.

Pretty low performance, I recommend 4-bit SDIO to deliver any sort of usable speed.

Thanks for the link. I had ported the code, but Icouldn't put the SD in the idle state (SD_GoIdleState). I am using SanDisk16 GBmicro sd card. I have tested the data signals of command bytes, it is sending perfectly. The response of sendSD_ANSWER_R1_EXPECTED is 224 not 0x Kindly help to troubleshoot this bug.

Please confirm,

SD_IO_CSState(1) means just HIGH the CS line , Is it? Since most of the data are written to the SD while the CS line is HIGH.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I can't provide resources to debug this, I can however confirm that the software, other than the multi-sector issue highlighted in another thread, does work properly for SDHC/XC cards.

SD_IO_CSState(1) drives the CS line High, while 

SD_IO_CSState(0) drives it low. The commands and responses are sent while the pin is low.  Some 0xFF sequences are sent with it high the clear the interface.

Hi Clive,

I am getting FR_NOT_READY error after disk_initialize() function. I am testing on the Sandisk uSdHC- 16 GB card .

Hey Param, 

I want to do the same thing as you! Now I also run into problems when interacting to the SD card with the FatFs. 

Did you achieve to get it working? I did achieve to compile the project as described above but opening the SD card gives me an error. 

Kind regards 

Nico

I wrote this program (Atollic Studio) for an STM32L4 and it worked for me (tested on 4GB and 16GB cards only).

Hope it helps!
