My kit is the STM32F4 Discovery board and the STM32F4BB-DIS expansion board. My OS is Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I have been trying for some time to get one of the third party demo programs that was listed from ST to work. In particular I am struggling to get the FatFs program from Embest to work. I managed to get the uSDCard program operational which allows one to low level R/W blocks onto the uSDCard (2Gb), but as of yet no success with the FatFs. The FatFs program was meant to demonstrate how to use the SDIO firmware library and an associated driver to implent Fatfs onto the SD card. As for the details on how the program is meant to work I will list it below along with the main program that I am using. Aside from not knowing where I am falling short I have a question outside of this once I get this program to work. How might I approach the recording of video onto a uSDCard and in particular what file format might one suggest? I understand that 2Gb is rather limited nonetheless I would like to explore this further. At any rate first things first what am I missing in my program?
Below is what the program is suppose to do and although my make file compiles error free I am obviously missing something here as when I go to use gtkterm and my hyperterminal with the correct settings and configuration it does not work. I even went so far as to enlist another guys post and had even less success there.

1. Description
The example is located in the following folder:
\Codes\STM32F4xx_SDIO_Example\Project\FatFs
2. Hardware Configuration
A MicroSD card is needed in this example and Kingston 1GB/2GB or SanDisk 2GB
MicroSD Card is recommended. The card should be formatted before used.
Note: Kingston 1GB/2GB and SanDisk 2GB MicroSD Card have been tested on
DevKit407. It’s not guaranteed that all kind of MicroSD card work well on the board.
3. Software Configuration
HyperTerminal is used in this example. Please refer 3.3.1 HyperTerminal Connection to
for more details.
4. Steps to Run
STM32F4DIS-BB
User Manual
Embest Technology Co., LTD
Page 36 of 901)
Connect a null-modem female/female RS232 cable between the DB9 connector
COM1 (USART6) and PC serial port.
2) Make sure that jumpers JP1 and JP2 are fitted.
3) Open hyperterminal on PC.
4) Copy message.txt in the project folder to a MicroSD card.
5) Insert the MicroSD card into MicroSD slot CON6.
6) Connect the DevKit407 board to a PC with a ‘USB type A (Male) to Mini-B (Male)’
cable through USB connector CN1 to power the board.
7) Open the project, rebuild all files, load project image and then run program.
8) Testing actions and results:
After reset, then see the serial terminal, it should be like this:
Debug Module Init
Open a test file (message.txt)
Type the file content
hello world!
Close the file
Create a new file (hello.txt)
Write a text data. (hello.txt)
14 bytes written
Close the file
read the file (hello.txt)
Type the file content(hello.txt)
Hello world!
Close the file (hello.txt)
Open root directory
Directory listing...
14 HELLO.TXT
12 MESSAGE.TXT

4) Testing actions and results:
If the Erase operation is PASSED then LED3 ON else the LED6 is ON and LED3
is OFF
If the Single Block Write/Read operation is PASSED then LED4 ON else the
LED6 is ON and LED4 is OFF
If the Multi Blocks Write/Read operation is PASSED then LED5 ON else the
LED6 is ON and LED5 is OFF
Any SD Card operation including the SD Initialization error is signaled by LED6
ON.
