SPI configuration problem on STM32F4 Discovery

Hi everyone,

I am trying to send some bytes of data on a sd-card (8GB) using SPI.I started with wiring the sd slot and configuring the spi but I have nothing, not even the clock...I have followed what's explained in the file spi.h and seen other post about spi but I still don't see where I am wrong.I'd really appreciate if you can help me with it ! Thank you. #spi-sd-card-stm32-discovery

Here is my code 🙂

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_SPI2, ENABLE);

Pick the correct APB

Thanks Clive1 !

I just changed it but still nothing happens.

Are you sure the SPI2 exits via the PD1, PD2 and PD3 pins? Doesn't look to be a valid routing. PI1, PI2 and PI3 look better candidates, or some PBx or PCx pins.

Thanks for your help,

I don't have GPIO port I on stm32f4 discovery...But I manage to make my SD-Card in SDIO mode.I can send data to it and read it back. Now I would like to write my data in a way I could read it from my computer to put it in a excel file.I think I just can create a .txt file, right ?I downloaded your code about FATFs. From what I've understand so far, I need it to convert my data in Fat format in a file and then load it on the sd-card.Is that the idea ?Thank you.

Or perhaps a .CSV file (comma separated entries in a text file)

You'd write the data into a file in much the same way as you'd do it with STDIO file functions.

Ok, CSV file sound good !

So far I didn't use a DMA since I just store the data every time I need to.

Do I need to use a DMA if I want to store my data in a csv file ?

Do I need to create the .csv file in my STM32 memory and then load it on the card or can I create it in the card and then write the data in the .csv fie ?

Thanks ! 🙂

I'm a bit lost in all the readings...

Thank you very much for your help !

Not sure how DMA plays into your particular circumstances.

I'd write the CSV file a line at a time, in much the same way I did with the DIR.TXT file I was creating in the FATFs example. It would be more efficient to buffer up larger blocks of data, but that might just over complicate things for you during initial development.
