Using stm32f407 for SDIO reading/writing

[KL_UOA]

Has anyone successfully used STM32f407 for reading and writing SD card using SDIO? I tried creating a project with SDIO using stm32f407 with a bit of code from the sample project of FatFS_uSD using (stm32F413). And I keep getting a timeout error from the function SDMMC_GetCmdResp1.

Here's my main code:

 Most of the code was generated using STM32CubeIDE, the only thing I borrowed from the sample project is between user code begin and end 2.

I'm getting the timeout error (4) from this function SDMMC_CmdBlockLength.

Hello @KL_UOA 

You are missing to call the function HAL_SD_Init() to initialize the SD

  hsd.Init.BusWide = SDIO_BUS_WIDE_4B;

Thanks, FBL, unfortunately, that didn't help, I'm still getting 4 from  errorstate = SDMMC_CmdBlockLength(hsd->Instance, BLOCKSIZE). I had no problem with SD_InitCard(hsd); and SD_PowerON(hsd) before that.

HI @KL_UOA 

Would you share your project to reproduce on my end?

[KL_UOA]

Hi @FBL 

https://github.com/klauUOA/umweltspaeher_stm32f407VET_V6

Here it is.

Thanks

Hi @FBL ,

Have you got a chance to try the code yet?

Thanks,

Hello,

---

Have you got a chance to try the code yet?

 What is the board you're using? ST board? if custom board not possible to try it.

[KL_UOA]

I tried testing it with a STM32F407 board, didn't work. Although I'm not sure if that's an official ST board, it's black, but it's got a ST logo on it.

But the code really only has SDIO configuration and the simplest operation. Why would it work on an official board and not on others. What has to be on the board for it to work?

[FBL]

Hi @KL_UOA 

Sorry for not reaching out sooner, it would seem more interesting if you could provide us further details about your hardware setup? board? reference? 

[KL_UOA]

I've tested with a board we bought:

I doubt that this is an official ST board, even though the ST label is on it. The MCU on the board is STM32F407ZE. I've also tested with a custom-made board, with STM32F407VE. Here's the relevant part of the schematic:

I've got the same result from both boards. Is there anything from the board that could result in the issue I found?
