Newbie question. Just got the SD card booster pack last week for launchpad 2553 (version 1.5) board. I tried to run the code version 0.3 from wiki page with 1 GB microSD card using adapter. I can read successfully from the card but I couldn't get anything to the write.txt file. All terminal messages for 'fw' command looks right - I get the "Finalizing the write file". But nothing gets written to the file. Any help ?

Petit_FS for battery-powered recording. 

 

The Petit_FS has worked great for me. I used the 43oh SD card booster pack to get me started. Step 1: MSP430G2553 on a Launch Pad. Step 2: port code to an MSP430F5529 Launch Pad with the same booster pack. Step 3: port it to our own MSP430F5529 board with a micro sd card on it. The only changes were for port assignments and clock implementations. 

 

The Petit_FS works for write, read, and multiple files.

 

To maximize battery life given the micro sd card's 100-200 ua standby current, we power it down with a FET, then reinitialize it before we write. When I used the f_lseek() function to set the file pointer before the write, I found that it can take a long time, the time being proportional to the size of the file pointer. It turns out you don't need to use the f_lseek() function. Here is how to make it work:

 

1) start up with the following:

   disk_initialize() (repeat once if unsuccessful)

   pf_mount()

   pf_open()

 

2) write data sequence:

   power up card

   disk_initialize()

   write data

   power down

 

The pf_mount() and pf_open() functions get and update the file system structure. Once you have that structure, you do not need to use fp_mount() or fp_open() again before the write. All you need is to run disk_initialize() to wake the card up.

I have ordered a SD Card booster pack to work with the CC3200 Launchpad, but the connector definitions do not match.. I was able to do some board modifications and make it to work with the CC3200 LAUNCHXL Rev 3.2.

 

Here is the ECO List

 

Scratch out traces at SJ1 , SJ2, SJ3, SJ4

Blue wire the following pins

SD Card Pin No       Header Pin

2                               J2.3

5                               J2.6

7                               J2.7

 

The board looks as below now with the changes. And it works !!! :)

Thank you for sharing your changes  @@Prajay. Do you mean the definitions on the BoosterPack were incorrect? It was made for the MSP430 Launchpad.

 

Edit: This is for the CC3200 LP. Thanks!

Thank you for your prior response. We actually have the suggested zip-file with the Fat-FS project/code. What we are wondering about is the best way to go about building/rebuilding the project in Code Composer, i.e., will the project 'automatically' un-zip to the correct directory structure ? Then, if you could suggest a sequence of steps to do the build. Thanks.

I got this booster pack to try out on the CC3200 Launchpad too. Performed the mods as @@Prajay listed (which are in the TI CC3200 SDHost FatFS SDK documentation).  

 

I installed the library and have tried to use the example PFatFsFileTest, but I can't even get past the FatFs.begin(cs_pin).

 

It actually looks like it's failing in in disk_init() called from begin(unsigned char cs_pin, uint8_t clkdivider).  This is using v 0.02a of PetitFatFs and the Arduino wrapper written by David Sirkin.

 

Has anyone had success with this booster pack on the CC3200 using Petit FatFs?

@@Scotty.. the code on the wiki( server is down for now ) is for the msp430 launchpad. There isn't one for the CC3200, unless you are using the one @@Prajay has used.
