[Energia Library] Petit FatFS SD Card Library

From the description of the error codes (pff.h),

pff.h

/* File function return code (FRESULT) */

typedef enum {
	FR_OK = 0,			/* 0 */
	FR_DISK_ERR,		/* 1 */
	FR_NOT_READY,		/* 2 */
	FR_NO_FILE,			/* 3 */
	FR_NOT_OPENED,		/* 4 */
	FR_NOT_ENABLED,		/* 5 */
	FR_NO_FILESYSTEM	/* 6 */
} FRESULT;

I understand that rc=3 means the file you are trying to open doesn't exist and that rc=6 means bad connection.

In the same time, reading one of the original posts:

Quote

The write function has some limitations :

Cannot create file. Only existing file can be written.

Cannot expand file size.

Cannot update time stamp of the file.

Write operation can start/stop on the sector boundary.

Read-only attribute of the file cannot block write operation.

I understand that the files should exist before trying to access them.

With these considerations, I suppose your first set-up (the one with rc=3) is correct and the file you try to access doesn't exist.

Cheers,

Liviu

PS I'll PM you my bank data.

petitfs library is real shit... I am working for like a month and still cnt get any success...

"It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools"

What are you trying to accomplish? Why are you using a severely under powered msp430g2553? With all the other options available to you why would you flog yourself with this approach?

MISO should be connected with MISO, MOSI with MOSI, not crossed.

MISO means Master In Slave Out, and MOSI means Master Out Slave In. Master & slave are always the same, no crossing is needed.

YESSSSSSS............

It solved my problem yo... Thank you very much... now i dont get any error in my serial terminal screen..

It shows that it is writing some Hello to t_write.txt file. But nothing is getting written on the SD card. When i remove my SD card from the SD card shield and play it in my PC, the file is empty, both - t_read.txt and t_write.

But still we are much closer for SD card datalogging...

I also tried this code. which can continuously log the analog read signal to LOG.txt file. In teminal it shows that the analog read is getting writtten to SD card but when i play to my PC it is also empty file.. What could be the possible reason??

LiviuM · May 26, 2017

Hi,

nice to see that making the connection properly bring it to work. Carefully reading the replies you receive may even accelerate the success.

For your last problem - writing without writing - maybe you should open the file in the correct mode. In this case the mode should be FA_WRITE.

Try to replace

On 5/25/2017 at 1:49 PM, hemangjoshi37a said:

rc = FatFs.open("T_WRITE.TXT");

with

rc = FatFs.open("T_WRITE.TXT", FA_WRITE);

or

rc = FatFs.open("T_WRITE.TXT", FA_WRITE | FA_READ);

for read & write access.

LiviuM · May 26, 2017

LE I've read the examples coming with PetitFS and they aren't using the mode specifier neither.

No idea why it doesn't work for you.

It gives me error when i compile...:

Yes, I've seen, I've read the wrong documentation. Should work without mode qualifiers.

Yes I see. The file log.txt is read-only file by default. So I think if I change it to read and write accessible from linux, it will work fine.

I am trying to change read-only to read and write accessible but it is not changing somehow...

hemangjoshi37a · May 26, 2017

I also tried with root user but i cant change the file permission from read-only to read and write.

But anyway thax for solving my problem. I LiviuM you have not solved my problem i would have always believed that we cant do data logging in SD card.

Thax Yo.....

hemangjoshi37a · May 26, 2017

for datalogging in SD card which format type of SD card is allowed?? NTFS, FAT32 or FAT16 or any else??
