STM32F407 - SDIO | FATFS - save file to sd card

Question

Problem :

Even the card is present or not, The SD card is mounted . I can’t write a file to the sd card.

Context :

I read a lot of books, documentations and tutorials, I can’t find a way to make it work. From the STM IDE debugger, I can’t get rich errors as I find with Python or Javascript. This is why I’m asking help. Except with printf but this is only personal comment to my terminal.

Technical specifications :

Mac OS - 10.15.4

CubeMX - 5.6.1

STM32 IDE - SDIO / FATFS

STM32F407VG - Discovery board

SD Card Board :

What I have done since the first post.

The problem comes from the open function. I got a FR_DISK_ERR.

When debugging, the script follows this line :

FRESULT f_open (
    FIL* fp,            /* Pointer to the blank file object */
    const TCHAR* path,  /* Pointer to the file name */
    BYTE mode           /* Access mode and file open mode flags */
)
{
    FRESULT res;
    DIR dj;
    FATFS *fs;
#if !_FS_READONLY
    DWORD dw, cl, bcs, clst, sc;
    FSIZE_t ofs;
#endif
    DEF_NAMBUF


    if (!fp) return FR_INVALID_OBJECT;

    /* Get logical drive */
    mode &= _FS_READONLY ? FA_READ : FA_READ | FA_WRITE | FA_CREATE_ALWAYS | FA_CREATE_NEW | FA_OPEN_ALWAYS | FA_OPEN_APPEND | FA_SEEKEND;
    res = find_volume(&path, &fs, mode); /* The script failed at this line  ! */
    if (res == FR_OK) {
        dj.obj.fs = fs;
        INIT_NAMBUF(fs);
        res = follow_path(&dj, path);   /* Follow the file path */

The script failed at the line res = find_volume and jump to the end of the open function :

    if (res != FR_OK) fp->obj.fs = 0;   /* Invalidate file object on error */

    LEAVE_FF(fs, res);

In regard of the variables asked by the open function :

FRESULT f_open (
    FIL* fp,            /* Pointer to the blank file object */
    const TCHAR* path,  /* Pointer to the file name */
    BYTE mode           /* Access mode and file open mode flags */
)

I think variables fp and mode are OK. The mistake could be about the const TCHAR* path as you said.

f_open(&SDFile, "F7FILE2.TXT", FA_CREATE_ALWAYS | FA_WRITE);

I have investigated about the find_volume but I can't follow the behaviour when debugging... there is types of error the function can return :

1 - Get sector size (multiple sector size cfg only)

#if _MAX_SS != _MIN_SS                  /* Get sector size (multiple sector size cfg only) */
    if (disk_ioctl(fs->drv, GET_SECTOR_SIZE, &SS(fs)) != RES_OK) return FR_DISK_ERR;
    if (SS(fs) > _MAX_SS || SS(fs) < _MIN_SS || (SS(fs) & (SS(fs) - 1))) return FR_DISK_ERR;
#endif

2 - An error occured in the disk I/O layer

    /* Find an FAT partition on the drive. Supports only generic partitioning rules, FDISK and SFD. */
    bsect = 0;
    fmt = check_fs(fs, bsect);          /* Load sector 0 and check if it is an FAT-VBR as SFD */
    if (fmt == 2 || (fmt < 2 && LD2PT(vol) != 0)) { /* Not an FAT-VBR or forced partition number */
        for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {       /* Get partition offset */
            pt = fs->win + (MBR_Table + i * SZ_PTE);
            br[i] = pt[PTE_System] ? ld_dword(pt + PTE_StLba) : 0;
        }
        i = LD2PT(vol);                 /* Partition number: 0:auto, 1-4:forced */
        if (i) i--;
        do {                            /* Find an FAT volume */
            bsect = br[i];
            fmt = bsect ? check_fs(fs, bsect) : 3;  /* Check the partition */
        } while (LD2PT(vol) == 0 && fmt >= 2 && ++i < 4);
    }
    if (fmt == 4) return FR_DISK_ERR;       /* An error occured in the disk I/O layer */

3 - Check if bitmap location is in assumption (at the first cluster)

/* Check if bitmap location is in assumption (at the first cluster) */
        if (move_window(fs, clust2sect(fs, fs->dirbase)) != FR_OK) return FR_DISK_ERR;

There is a screenshoot about the FATFS configuration but even with FF_USE_LFN set to 1 Enable LFN with static working buffer on the BSS. Always NOT thread-safe. I got FR_DISK_ERR ...

Do you have an idea ?

Final answer :

From the find_volume function, I found Exfat was not enable as FF_USE_LFN

I got a FR_NO_FILE_SYSTEM. I take a time to take a look on the web and I found SDIO on STM32 can't work without DMA... Also you need to set-up pull-up resistors except for the CLK.

This post solve all my problems :

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X00009XkWceSAF/stm32f411re-stm32cube-fatfs-sdio-sdcard-always-returns-frdiskerr

Also keep the wiring as short as possible between the stm32 card and your external sd card proto board.

I got a lot of problem because I was using long wiring.
