ESP32 SD card info

Postby Segmentation Fault » Sat Apr 04, 2020 2:01 am

I've been making a project with my ESP8266 with an additional SD card module using Arduino IDE.
My project required an upgrade, so I purchased and ESP32-WROVER-KIT and am trying to get the SD card information, but I cannot find something similar with the ESP8266 SdFat.h for the ESP32.

Is there a way to get in ESP32 the card info (type, size, manufacturer, partitions etc) like the cardInfo example of ESP8266?

To answer for other people might needing this; the ESP32 library for Arduino IDE does not seem to include the required files, but they can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/greiman/SdFat

It seems to be almost the same as with ESP8266, except that "using namespace sdfat;" will cause a compilation error. I also added #define FS_NO_GLOBALS to avoid another compilation error and now the code compiles fine for ESP-WROVER.

I have not uploaded and tested it yet. I will post an update as soon as I do.

I cannot initialize the sdfat.
SD_INFO gives:

Code: Select all

error: File System initialization failed.
SD errorCode: 0X50,0X0
PARTITION_INFO:

Code: Select all

gives error: read MBR failed
SD errorCode: 0X50,0X0
VOLUME_INFO gives:

Code: Select all

error: cardBegin failed

  csdDmp();
}
I am suspecting I should define the SD SPI bus of the WROVER in the SdFat class as well, but I cannot find how to define the SPI GPIO pins there.
Any help would be really appreciated,

The pinout change in your source:
SPI.begin( 14, 2, 15, 13); // The bultin SD card SPI for WROVER
void begin (int8_t sck=-1, int8_t miso=-1, int8_t mosi=-1, int8_t ss=-1);// this SPI.begin defined in spi.h

Hi pipi61,

The SD class works properly after the pinout change SPI.begin( 14, 2, 15, 13);

The SdFat class though creates these errors.


I do not understand your reply. :(

sorry, i view sd, don"t sdfat.
Connect this pinout
CLK18, Miso19, Mosi23, CS15
and remove SPI.begin....

I cannot really do that. The SD card module is built in on the WROVER board and connected with the specific pinout.

Yes sdfat will work fine as he said.

It seems that it is a speed problem, not related with the WROVER pinout but with esp32.

Solution here:
