Can I combine FatFs and USB MSC functions for the same SD card application together?

Hello! Everyone,

I am rookie for STM32F103 series! Now, I programmed my STM32F103VE becomes a USB disk with SD card. But, I also want to access this SD card by STM32F103 to get the bitmap files stored in SD card, and display the bitmap files on my TFT.

However, when I turned function of USB disk with SD card on, I cannot access the same SD card by FatFs function to read bitmap files!

Is there anyone can help me?

You'd probably want to rebuild the SD Card access layer, so it can arbitrate and serialize access to the media. If you can use FatFs in a READ ONLY mode it will significantly reduce the coherency issues that would occur with two writers.

I tried modify FS_READONLY becomes 1 in ffconf.h, but it dose not work.

I found a trade off!

Set_System();<br>Set_USBClock();<br>USB_Interrupts_Config();<br><br>
//Get BMP files saved in SD card here<br>Sd_fs_init();<br>Lcd_show_bmp( 100, 20,''/Dbmp'');<br><br>//Release FatFs<br>f_mount(0, NULL);<br><br>//USB disk<br>USB_Init();<br>while (bDeviceState != CONFIGURED);<span class=''Apple-tab-span'' style=''white-space:pre''> </span> //Wait until USB disk is ready

Thus, I avoided the collision.
