ESP-IDF example SD/MMC fails with 0x107. Not sure about pins!

[VincentP]

I am getting to grips with the IDF. Thought I would try the SD card reader on my ESP32s3 WROOM 1 N16R8 OTG UART board.

Apart from setting the flash memory size, I've altered nothing but it fails with

I note that pin GPIO[34] appears to be output enabled and hence Pullup=0. According to ReadMe files all these pins should be Pulled up.
I've tried 3 separate boards with the same result.


Any pointers??

I worked it out.
If you look at the masking on the board it has a legend -=Camera, ~=SD and * = psram. Pins 38,39 & 40 had a tilde (~) next to them.
So, by using a spy glass and continuity testing I determined that the CMD, CLK and D0 pins were connected to 38,39 & 40, respectively.

I couldn't find any other connected (except VDD and VSS).

In menuconfig I set it to 1 line operation. With CMD, ClK & D0 set to the above pins.

Bingo! it worked.

Hope someone finds this helpful.
