SDIO/FatFS file write in SD Card on STM32F405 fails when ADC interrupt is running [SOLVED]

Hello,

I have implemented SD Card with FatFS using firstly STCubeMX driver in a polling mode, secondly by adaptation of  the \STM324xG_EVAL\Applications\FatFs\FatFs_uSD example in DMA/Intr mode. I am writing a line of about 100 characters every 40 ms in the card using f_puts for a long time (using 1-bit access only - another issue sent to the forum). Unfortunatelly, running an interrupt lasting 1-2 us every 35 us (measured by a scope and yes, I need it seriously) causes that in time of order 1-100 s the function f_puts fails with return code -1. I tried to increase the stack but it is not the case. Thank you for any advice. Ivan

Of course, the ADC interrupt has higher priority (2) in the linear set of them (0-15) than SDIO (5 and 6).

I have rearranged the ADC interrupt routine at the expense of main loop so it lasts shorter time: 0.39-1.10 us every 23.5 us, and the file write works O.K. now.

However, it is problematic if a relatively short interrupt routine spoils SD Card handling.

Although the writing to a file did run twice for several hours, now it fails again in several minutes.

The problem was that although a code for DMA and interrupt access to SD card was inserted, the polling versions of SDIO read/write functions were called instead of the DMA versions.

I understand that an interrupt just during trasmition/reception of SD card command/data may corrupt the file write. I do not know whether I overlooked a setting in the CubeMX or if CubeMX cannot change the function calls.
