Reading data from SD card not consistent |
Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 6:59 am |

I'm struggling the whole week with reading data from a FAT formatted SD card. All I want to do is reading a file byte per byte in a loop. I succeeded in reading a file a few times but when I reset the HW I get the message that the file could not be found, after another reset it does find it and so on, mostly I get errors.
It does always fail in the MMC init function, when I bypass it and let the program go on it happens that it does read the file successfully. Weird... and I don't get it.
There is now a modified function added file_read2 to be able to read the file byte by byte. The driver is one I found on the internet from the mpic3 project, I guess Douglas Kennedy from this forum made it cause I found his name in it :-)
I feel I am close to the solution but I struggle to find it.
Main program:
Code: | #include <18F2685.h>
#fuses NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT,NOLVP,INTRC_IO//,NOMCLR
#use delay(clock=8000000)
#use rs232 (baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#include "HDD Driver.c"
#define SPI_MODE_0 (SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H)
#define SPI_MODE_1 (SPI_L_TO_H)
#define SPI_MODE_2 (SPI_H_TO_L)
#define SPI_MODE_3 (SPI_H_TO_L | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H)
void main(){
int r1,i,j,error,error0,error1;
int16 rec_no;
int16 index,rec_size;
int32 offset;
char fname[32],buff0[MMC_BUFF_SIZE+1],buff1[MMC_BUFF_SIZE+1];
char c;
int16 i9=0;
int32 sizeRead=0;
output_high(_CS);
delay_ms(1000);
setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_CLK_DIV_4);
buff0[MMC_BUFF_SIZE]=0;
buff1[MMC_BUFF_SIZE]=0;
rec_no=0;
///////// init MMC ////////////////////////////////////////
error=init_MMC(50);
if (error>0) {
printf("\n\rErrors in init...\n");
}
printf("\rMMC init passed...");
rec_size=MMC_BUFF_SIZE;
strcpy(fname,"idle.pcm");
rec_size=MMC_BUFF_SIZE;
error0=open_file(0,fname,rec_size);
if (error0>0) {
printf("\rfopen as 0 failed error=%U\n\r",error);
//goto mmc_exit;
}
else printf("\ropened as 0 file %s with rec size %lu \n\r",fname,rec_size);
do
{ // Lees x bytes in
sizeRead = file_read2(0,buff1);
// Overloop alle bytes
for (i9 = 0; i9 < sizeRead;i9++)
{
printf("%c",buff1[i9]);
delay_ms(50);
}
} while (sizeRead == 32);
printf("\r\nEnd of program\n\r");

I use the int OSC at 32 MHz in the SD card is connected with a voltage divider.
Schematic: instead of 1.2K I use 1.8K.
Connecting the slot straight without the dividers to my pic running at 3.3 instead of 5v makes no difference in result.
Output:
Code: |
Errors in init...
MMC init passed...
fopen ptr1=0 ptr2=4
fname[IDLE PCM] level=0
TEST TXT
file err [IDLE PCM] not found
fopen as 0 failed error=17
End of program

Well I wrote this code a while back ( before Microsoft had the patent ( it was initially rejected)). Some one in the UK asked for the code so I PM'd them it. Next it was posted on the web without asking me. This exposed me to potential legal issues. I took out the create file and posted it on this forum so a disclaimer could be inserted. Typically patents prevent the unauthorized creation of things so without file creation it was less an issue. I only used this code on my own PC with a Microsoft OS. I never sold any code. A change in the ruling political party in the US allowed the FAT patent be be reviewed and granted. Microsoft is the owner of FAT technology and US law requires its citizens to comply with US law irrespective of where they obtain the code. I used MMC cards and the SPI interface was open technology. Today a SD license costs approx $3000 per month and a Microsoft license $250,000 (one time).
Your issue
I'd look at the 2k resistors. MMC/SPI is fast and the pic or the MMC may not be able (at all times) to drive them high fast enough. I'd try 10k or 100k and see if your issue is resolved. At the time I used a 7407 with pull ups to level convert.
Today I'd use the CCS FAT code as they are a lawful US Corp.
Disclaimer:
I have absolutely no knowledge of Mike Luck or MPIC3.COM . I have never collaborated or had any contact with them or they with me. Unless they are the UK people that put it up on the web. This situation has had a chilling effect on me posting code to this forum.
The issue with this board is that it is has international scope. Code posted here between individuals can become commercial code offshore and if it is sold back to a US citizen it can expose the original writer and the purchaser to a commercial infringement issue. Let's hope we don't reach the situation where we have to introduce errors into code posted here so that it is essentially non working. It's harder to prove non working code does violence to the sale of working commercial code. |

Hi Douglas
Thanks for your info and opinion on this code. If you want me to remove it, no problem justI give me a sign.
At the moment I only need to read a file. Next week I will also try another PIC chip, perhaps I damaged something on the SPI port. I have also the driver that Andrew S. wrote (legal purchase) but I struggle understanding it and adapting it to my needs and after asking some questions I'm a bit embarrassed to ask more.
His driver has so much options I don't see the trees through the forest, guess that sounds a bit noobish but I only have one year experience with this. Although I have knowledge of C and electronics this is a complete other level.
After fiddling with your driver I feel I learned a lot but still not enough. |

I prefer you remove it at least the reference to me since I in no way co-authored this with anybody.
I wrote the code so it was easier to see the FAT process in particular if the disk is viewed with win hex. At the time I needed a read only file system for a pic based web server. The pic on call back would serve image files for the web page from an MMC created on a PC. An aside ..a MMC doesn't take many ma's. A red led drops about 1.8v and will survive with up to 20ma running through it, which gets you close to the 3.3v for the mmc and a running indicator for the trouble. |

No problem, credits have been removed. I really hope I can get it to work. It's a bit above my head but it is so promising and rewarding this reading from SD ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) |

@Skirmitt,
If you find a solution, could you post it.
I also couldn't get my hardware to work with SD, and it uses the same 5V PIC, 3.3V SD, and the resistor dividers.
I put it onto the backburner a few months ago, but it would be good to find a solution.

Could the problem be that I try to do this with a 2 GB card ?
Elsewhere on the forum I read that you can only use 32MB cards for these FAT16 drivers... |

It has been discussed many times before on this forum: a PIC running at 5V and an MMC card at 3.3V are no good match. This can be solved using a voltage level converter but these chips are about the same price as choosing another PIC capable of running directly from 3.3V
The voltage divider solution is cheap but unreliable because the SDA input is a Schmitt Trigger input. According to parameter D041 of the datasheet Appendix 28.3 a Schmitt Trigger requires 0.8 * Vdd for an input level to be seen as high.
0.8 * 5V = 4V minimum
Your 3.3V MMC output is way out of specifications.
There are several solutions:
1) Preferred solution: Choose another PIC capable of running directly from 3.3V. This saves components, you can get rid of the 5V voltage regulator and the 'glue' components.
2) Insert a real voltage level translator chip.
3) Build your own level translator for MISO and keep the resistor divider for the other lines. Can be down with two transistors.
4) Don't use the hardware SPI module, but use a software emulated SPI. This way the RB0 pin can be used as a normal I/O pin which will detect a Vih level starting from 2.0V instead of the 4V for a Schmitt Trigger SDA input. |

If Wikipedia is correct/up-to-date (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT_licensing) I might offer that:
To MS, the fee is only valid if: a unit is SOLD ($0.25 each) for a maximum of $250,000.
Also, apparently the patents only apply if FAT and Long-File-Names are in use. FAT w/8.3 filenames do not constitute infringing use.
So for us home use people, develop away!
However, I am not a Lawyer. ;) _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D |

I agree home use shouldn't be an issue. However a commercial application using some other company's idea ( FAT is clearly an MS idea) without written permission is more uncertain. Whether patented or not its probably an issue if the original idea company is injured by the action. The point centers on you can't cause them to lose business. The patent often deters copying and makes it easier to win the case if it occurs. And above all it prevents another party from patenting it against you and locking you out of the use of your own idea. |

I would have to check that because the Patents aren't about FAT.
The LONG filenames and HOW to get them incorporated into the existing FAT DIR structures is what was patented... just like IBM has a patent for the EA DATA.SF file holding extended attrib's (like the OS/2 long filenames)
I have foggy memories from my early computer days (in the early 80's) to think that FAT as an idea was reasonably widespread enough to foible any attempts at patenting..
If Wikipedia is correct, it claims, "FAT12 was used by several manufacturers with different physical formats...."
So FAT was just another MS borrowed thing.. all they did was extend it to FAT32 (not novel) and add long filename support (USPTO seems to feel is novel).
Although again, I'm not a lawyer.. but it is interesting to contemplate.

Here are some things to consider.
If, after a reset, the software works correctly without errors and, after a reset, the software fails completely then this is an indication the card is failing to pass the initialization sequence putting the card in SPI mode. The most likely HW related causes in order of probability are:
1. The pull up resistor on DO of the card is missing or does not go where you think it does.
2. The voltage divider are the incorrect values, or reversed. The values in the schematic are correct assuming you connected it like that. If you inadvertently connected 5 volt signals to the SD/MMC card then the card is toast.
3. The 3.3volt rail has insufficient drive to deliver the peak current required by the card (usually manifests itself on write operations).
4. You do not have sufficient power supply filtering or decoupling capacitors on the 3.3volt rail. Ideally a 22uF or greater low ESR capacitor and a 0.1uF capacity should be placed as close as practical to the power pins on the MMC socket (closely related to 3 above).
The DO output of the card SHOULD be level converted to +5 volts levels in order to meed the minimum electrical requirements of the PIC SPI input level requirements however it is not uncommon for hobbyists to not use this level conversion and still be able to use the card correctly.
If you want to rule out the hardware as the source of the problem, you could try buying our low level SD/MMC utilities to test your hardware. Several of our customer buy these utilities specifically to validate their hardware. _________________ Regards, Andrew

I worked on software for someone's product that had an SD card -- when the SD card was plugged in, it caused a reset -- they had no recommended load switch and little capacitance on the +3.3v line running to the SD.
Interested it was.
