EFFS SD Card Writing problem.

[amurphysmu]

I have some custom hardware with a SD card slot on it. I've
connected the SD card in the same way that it is connected on the
Netburner Devlopment Boards.

I've created a project using the EFFS-FTP example code to test, and
can read data from the SD card, but can't seem to write data to it.

This is what is happening on boot:

You can use Internet Explorer to drag and drop files to
url "ftp://192.168.2.10"

Long file names are not supported- only 8.3 format

It seems like that card is somehow read only since the TestFile.txt
file can't be written to the card. The SD card is not locked. Any
ideas??

If you run your project on the NetBurner development board (not your own hardware) does your project work?

I too encountered this problem. I've been using the EFFS SD Card on our custom hardware and on the development boards without any problem. As soon as I upgraded to NNDK 2.1 RC4a the call to get_wp() always returned TRUE. I commented out that call and I was able to read the card, but unable to write it.

Using a MOD5282 with a netburner carrier board I have been trying to initialize and mount an SD card and keep getting
the same return code of 37. Initially I call the get_cd() and get_wp() functions and get nominal results. When I call f_mountfat() and f_chdrive(), I get the 37 return code.

It looks like return code 37 represents "F_ERR_TASKNOTFOUND".

Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions?

The lines of code in question are:

mountResult = f_mountfat(MMC_DRV_NUM, mmc_initfunc, F_MMC_DRIVE0);
mountResult = f_chdrive( MMC_DRV_NUM );

In both cases I get a result of 37.

Thanks,

Kevin

I am using the code below on my 5282 and the cards work fine for me.

Code: Select all

			while ( get_cd() == 0 )
			{
				printlcdauto("Insert Card",LINE_5);
				OSTimeDly( TICKS_PER_SECOND / 2 );
				printlcdauto("           ",LINE_5);
				OSTimeDly( TICKS_PER_SECOND /2 );				
			}

			LCD_Cls();
			printlcdauto("CARD DETECTED",LINE_3);

   		}

		OSTimeDly( TICKS_PER_SECOND );

   			}

			printlcdauto("FINISHING BOOT.",LINE_5);
		}
		
		
	}while( ( get_cd() == 0 ) || ( get_wp() !=0x00 ) );
