Hi Ben

I wanted to use an SD card in the current project with an ESP32.

The programme compiles without any problems
But when I started the hardware, it always stopped at the SD card initialisation.

So i compiled an older project, which worked fine, but now this also hangs at the sd card initialisation while loop.

always in the while loop....

Hello,

We are using an SD card here with ESP without any issues, please can you check the fast SPI rate property for the SD card component. We are using 20MHz I beleive and most cards are working fine with this but I have found a couple of cards that don't work at all.

Hi Ben

It's good to know that it should actually work. Thank you.

The card is aways the same type and the speed I did not change.

On the hardware is a display on the same SPI bus. Maybe I cached a problem with one of this both component.

The cards was working always fine even with the display.

In the schematic the display has no MISO pin A19

I will take a closer look where the problem is

Both on SPI bus was working....

Initial prescaler needs to be 400KHz max. Hopefully this will solve things for you.

Hi Ben

I tried with 400kHz but it does not work.

What is a little funny is that it has already worked half a year ago.
I have not changed anything in the hardware or at the program.
I will take a closer look

Hi Ben

I made a second testprogram (test_no_display) and with the USB I control the ret_sdcard byte.
It's working nice.
So I added the display to this programm and still working.

But I did the same commands in the test1 and there it's not working.

no idea what the difference is.

Hi Ben

The File SD/SDHC and Display GLCD (ILI9341 SPI)

are not working on the same SPI Bus anymore.
If I change the File SD/SDHC component to SPI software mode then it's working again

Hi Stefan,

It might be interesting to see how the C code differs between the two projects. Looking at the source there is nothing jumping out at me other then the order of components in the project file.

I'll try generating the C here and see if that's got any clues.

Hi Ben

I guess there is still a problem with the Ili9341 SPI display, the File SD and ESP32.
When I load the File SD2 component I cannot select a pin like before File SD1. Also something is wrong with the display, in one program it's working but it does not work in another. Although same configuration and hardware.

Stefan

Hello,

Thanks for letting us know, hopefully all solved for you now.


You might want to switch the properties back to the titles rather then the variables unless your specifically using the variables.

To do this right click on the Properties text and select Show titles.
