STM32F746G-DISCO microSD Card Issues Topic is solved

[jtrug]

Hi,

Board: STM32F746G-DISCO
Version: Chibios 17.6,18.2.2,19.1.3
Compiler: GCC 7.0 (Windows ChibiStudio)

I am trying to write to the microSD on my F7 discovery board with FatFS. Whenever using 18.2 or 19.2 I get consistent but periodic garbage on the output. See attached hellobad.txt for an example. I rolled back to the 17.6 and the same code produced no problem at all. See hello3good.txt for example of it.

In each case I take the demo included with Chibios and change the configuration to enable sd card and serial and then nothing else. The code I am using for my test is included below.

Code: Select all

    sdStart(&SD1, NULL);

    static BaseSequentialStream* chp = (BaseSequentialStream*)&SD1;

    if (!blkIsInserted(&SDCD1)) {
      chprintf(chp, "Card not inserted, aborting.\r\n");
    }
    else{
      chprintf(chp, "Card is inserted.\r\n");
    }

    chprintf(chp, "Connecting... ");

    if (sdcConnect(&SDCD1)) {
      chprintf(chp, "failed\r\n");
    }

    FATFS fs;           /* Filesystem object */
    FIL fil;            /* File object */
    FRESULT res;        /* API result code */
    UINT bw;            /* Bytes written */

    f_mount(&fs, "", 0);
    res = f_open(&fil, "hello4.txt", FA_CREATE_ALWAYS | FA_WRITE);
    for (int i = 0; i < 200; ++i) {
      f_write(&fil, "Hello, World!\r\n", 15, &bw);
    }

    f_close(&fil);
    chprintf(chp, "done writing");

Anyone have any idea what could be different or the problem?

Thanks,

Hi,

Have you checked for possible stack overflows?

Thanks that solved my issue. Going into the makefile and increasing the stack size of the main thread fixed all my write issues.

Appreciate the quick help!
