SD card project

XLin.2

I am developing project using SD card on custom board but had some difficulties, so I am learning by using the f746g-disco, the example project provided in CubeMX worked (except for Sandisk XC card), then I followed exactly this example (https://community.st.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-file-system-on-a-sd-card-using-stm32bubeide) to generate project using CubeMX, the generated project failed in 'SD_PowerOn'. What could be wrong?

Hello @XLin.2​ ,

Please share more details about to your post (error message, clock configuration, software/tools version used), this will help us, and community users answered you.

  • I made a project today with sd card and STM32F746G-DISCO using STM32CubeIDE version 1.12.1 and STM32CubeMX version 6.8.1 just following this tutorial.

and don't forget to follow the tip of.

Made it work with couple of modifications:

1- Moved variables to global

move

"

/* USER CODE BEGIN 1 */

FRESULT res; /* FatFs function common result code */

uint32_t byteswritten, bytesread; /* File write/read counts */

uint8_t wtext[] = "STM32 FATFS works great!"; /* File write buffer */

uint8_t rtext[_MAX_SS];/* File read buffer */

/* USER CODE END 1 */

"

to

"

* USER CODE BEGIN PV */

FRESULT res; /* FatFs function common result code */

uint32_t byteswritten, bytesread; /* File write/read counts */

uint8_t wtext[] = "STM32 FATFS cali666siy great!"; /* File write buffer */

uint8_t rtext[_MAX_SS];/* File read buffer */

/* USER CODE END PV */

"

2- Changed 4B wide operation to 1B operation in "MX_SDMMC1_SD_Init()"

static void MX_SDMMC1_SD_Init(void)

{

 /* USER CODE BEGIN SDMMC1_Init 0 */

 /* USER CODE END SDMMC1_Init 0 */

 /* USER CODE BEGIN SDMMC1_Init 1 */

 /* USER CODE END SDMMC1_Init 1 */

 hsd1.Instance = SDMMC1;

 hsd1.Init.ClockEdge = SDMMC_CLOCK_EDGE_RISING;

 hsd1.Init.ClockBypass = SDMMC_CLOCK_BYPASS_DISABLE;

 hsd1.Init.ClockPowerSave = SDMMC_CLOCK_POWER_SAVE_DISABLE;

 hsd1.Init.BusWide = SDMMC_BUS_WIDE_1B; //Start with 1B instead 4B. Later "SD_Widebus_Enable" command makes it 4B

 hsd1.Init.HardwareFlowControl = SDMMC_HARDWARE_FLOW_CONTROL_DISABLE;

 hsd1.Init.ClockDiv = 0;

 /* USER CODE BEGIN SDMMC1_Init 2 */

 /* USER CODE END SDMMC1_Init 2 */

}

now it works OK. Tested with 4GB and 16GB FAT32 formatted uSD cards

Thanks RRibe! It works on 746G-DISCO now. Just curious why 4 lanes didn't work, anyhow my custom board is 1 bit, I will try on it.

I am still having problems with my custom board, which is Stm32H753, SD in 1 bit mode, Input clock 200Mhz, SDMMC2 interface as SD, with clock divide by (3+1), no transceiver. It always fail in SD_PowerON(). I traced it to SDMMC_CmdAppCommand()
_legacyfs_online_stmicro_images_0693W00000bj8snQAA.png, where it sends 0x37 and expects the same comes back from RESPCMDR registers. There was no timeout or CRC errors, just the RESPCMDR was 0.

I have attached a screen capture. I am not familiar with SD cards, please help.

The pins for SD are PD6(CLK), PD7(CMD), PB14(D0), all are high speed AF, with internal pull ups. I am using CubeMX 6.8 with H7 package 1.11.0.

Still no luck yet. A question I have is about pins: Looking at the schematics of my board, it is in 1 bit SD mode. D1-D3 on the card slot side are left floating, should they be pulled? And for CLK/CMD/D0 are internal pullup (40Koms) enough?

first -

  • use 1 bit mode
  • set pullups on all lines
  • set pin/port speed at medium or meduim/high (try)
  • use clock 100M div 1 (50 MHz) ...or lower.

Have you enabled DMA for fatfs? If so, some comments need to be cancelled in sd_diskio.c.

/* USER CODE BEGIN enableSDDmaCacheMaintenance */
#define ENABLE_SD_DMA_CACHE_MAINTENANCE 1
/* USER CODE END enableSDDmaCacheMaintenance */

/* USER CODE BEGIN enableScratchBuffer */
#define ENABLE_SCRATCH_BUFFER
/* USER CODE END enableScratchBuffer */
