CubeMx fatfs sd via SPI

Hi,

I'm trying to use CubeMX to work with the SD through SPI. In the search of this forum I found a lot of answers on how to work with SD for SPI. Unfortunately I do not find them useful. It would be ideal to find an example of implementation user_defined.c, user_defined.h. If everything is so obvious why I have never seen simple example of implementation? I use STM32L151, therefore do not offer SDIO.Is

code correct? #no-hablo-hal #spi-sd-cubemx-hal-fatfs-stm32l1x

There is a reason a lot of us don't use HAL/CubeMX nor support it here...

There seems to be an endless parade of people having problems with SD Cards using SPI/SDIO. It is a complicated protocol, and a lot of people have zero competence in the mass storage and file system space, so if it doesn't work out-of-the-box it is going to be very hard to fix/debug. I would not trust the code provided by h.rick, he copied it from someone else, it didn't work for him, and he didn't have the skills to fix it.

One of dozens of threads started on the topic.

Is the connector wired up properly? Can you review the data with a scope or analyzer? Are you getting reasonable responses via SPI and the card? There are a whole array of reasons why things fail, and it's hard to guess the specific reason from the level of information provided.

For the Nucleo-F091rc and the Adafruit shield ID802 exist inside the CubeMX code examples from Adafruit how to use SDcards with SPI.

See UM1787 / en.DM00122017.pdf for more details. https://www.adafruit.com/products/802 Did not try it by myself, because the Adafruit shield is somehow expensive and the display is really small. But for the SDcard it may be a solution. Using SDcards with SDIO / SDMMC with CubeMX is very easy (with Nucleo-144 STM32F746) so i did not spend any time for the SPI mode. Best regards, Markus.
