Tutorial is up. Enjoy!

If the SD-card reader features card detection, here's the code for a basic implementation:

#define CARD_DETECT PA_2

void setup()
{
  pinMode(RED_LED, OUTPUT);  
  pinMode(GREEN_LED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(CARD_DETECT, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop()
{
  if (digitalRead(CARD_DETECT)) {
    digitalWrite(RED_LED, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, LOW);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(RED_LED, LOW);
    digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, HIGH);
  }
  delay(500);  
}

The green LED lights on when a card is inserted, otherwise the red LED is on.

Hi, i just wanted to report that the library won't compile with Energia release 0101E0011 and the F5529 Launchpad because "DIR" is already defined in \energia-0101E0011\hardware\tools\msp430\msp430\include\msp430f5529.h line 3900: 

/* USBCTL Control Bits */
#define DIR            (0x0001)  /* USB - Data Response Bit */

renaming all "DIR" references in the Petit-FATFS library and examples to "_DIR" works as a workaround.

 

regards, Nick

Was just wondering if there is a list of return codes and their meaning for this library.

 

eg. Fail with rc=6

 

I've looked and it just seems to elude me completely.

 

Cheers

Awesome. Thanks!

 

I could not find that for the life of me.

Best solution is to use modern collaborative tools and share a repository.

 

I've created the SD_TM4C repository for SD Library for LaunchPad LM4F / TM4C and pushed my code.

 

Feel free to contribute and add support for other LaunchPad boards  .

For who keep having the rc=6 problem with a sdcard holder pcb (bought from ebay), try to change mosi and miso position. I guess that the indications on the SD card holder are indications for the launchpad connections, So you have to put input with input (miso with miso) and not input with output.

Contrary to UART, SPI does not have such an ambiguity.

 

In UART there is a Tx and an Rx pin, which mean one pin is receiving and one pin is transmitting. To have two devices chatting to eachothter, one should have the transmitting pin from party A connected to the receiving pin of party B and vice versa.

 

In SPI on the other hand, the pins are explicitly described by their role. The Master In, Slave Out (MISO) pin is the receiving pin on the master, but the transmitting pin on the slave. In the same fashion the Master Out, Slave In (MOSI) is the transmitting pin on the master but the receiving pin on the slave. The only thing to figure out now is which party is the slave and which the master. This is (in my view) obvious; the controller is the master, the card is the slave.

Has anyone tried to implement a create file function in the Petit FatFs?

I tried to use the FatFs in the g2553, but there is not enough memory.

@@aimepinto You cannot create a file in Petite FatFs. You have to create it externally on a PC and write to the file on the chip.

FatFs is too large for the 2553. You may try running it on the higher end Launchpads.

G'day,

Getting errors when I compile with E13 for a 5529 device, Did the _DIR change in the include files etc.

Is there anything extra to change when using this setup.

When device is 2553 all ok.

Hello, everyone!

 

So I've connected SD card to launchpad (g2553). When I'm trying to execute PFatFsFileTest I'll get something like: 

Press button to start...

 

Failed with rc=6

 

The only file on sdcard is "SD card test.txt", but I can't open it (probably because of spaces in the filename? or mb I did something wrong. idk). And... I've soldered sdcard, so I can't write any new file in there T_T Is it possible to do smth to make things work or I need to unsolder it first?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Forget about SD with a MSP430G2553. This MCU hasn't enough RAM for buffering a sector. Try instead another MSP430 like the F5529 or even better the Tiva C TM4C123.

[stasundr 0]

All I need is just log date and temperature, so I do hope that MSP430G2553 will be enough... 2553 actually is only thing I have.
