External SD Card
-
Can I mount the external SD card module with pycom Sipy? I can read and write to a file using expansion board SP card but I'm not sure how it's done using external adapter? When I try to create sd module to initiate with SPI bus itsgiving me an OS error. Can someone please help me with this. Thanks

@edward-dimmack That should work. I'm using this wiring on my homebrew interface boards.
-
@jmarcelino Would this wiring work?

I was running into a lot of issues but was able to make some headway using the library you pasted @robert-hh and thought I would share my results in case other people wanted to get it working.
However, I did have some errors with the library and had to make the following changes:
-
The pins you used are not the default pins for the SPI init call. So I created my own SPI instance with the pin allocation you had in the post (since I already had them like that) and passed that instance into the SDCard constructor rather than
machine.SPI(0). I also removed the additional spi init calls. -
I had to set the SPI baudrate to 1000000 instead of 100000
-
I had to declare the CS pin as an instance outside of the library and pass it in similar to the SPI above.
-
The command to check idle state at the start of the library
self.cmd(0, 0, 0x95)would never return a value of 1. I don't know where the reference of these commands were but testing the other commands manually all returned values as expected.So I commented out the entire block that checks for the SD card or raises the 'no SD card' error.I found that I still need to run this command regardless, I get the same set of (4?) different values that repeat each time it is called. They never equal 1 but I let the code continue and command out the error block. Not calling the0x95command will not allow the next set of command to work correctly.
Doing the above I have gotten my external SD card board working fine with the FiPy. For reference below are my library and how I call it.

I tried using SPI bus it is very slow. I had designed the pcb with spi pins but looks like it is not best so I’m just using the SDIO pins and changed the pcb. About the WLAN when I define wlan initially it is asking me for ap ssid at first I get an error saying ap ssid not given. I get the IP address when run locally and it connects to FileZilla but when it boots for the STA_AP it doesn’t print the IP address nor it connects to WLAN. It will be in idle state. I don’t know why it’s not connecting. I’m wondering should we create a station first and then an AP?
-
@manju2391 About WLAN: It could look like:
from network import WLAN wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA_AP) wlan.connect(ssid='AP',auth=(WLAN.WPA2, 'xxxx')) # from here on it's optional. It just takes a few moments to connect for _ in range (200): if wlan.isconnected(): print(wlan.ifconfig()) break else: time.sleep_ms(50) else: print("Could not connect")

@robert-hh
Thanks for your reply robert and I'll try working on it today and will post if anything crashes up and I have one more doubt regarding the WLAN access point. I have created an access point and I want to connect to my AP whenever the boot.py loads up. I can connect as a station but not as an access point i tried using this syntax but whenever it boots up it's looking for wlan AP but couldn't find it and goes to deep sleep mode. My network is up and it runs when I run it externally but not during boot up.from network import WLAN
wlan.init(mode=WLAN.STA_AP,ssid='AP')
wlan.init(ssid='AP',auth=(WLAN.WPA2,'xxxx'))
print(wlan.ifconfig())Is the above syntax right?

@manju2391 I tried that driver, and I got it to the point where it showed some activity. The code is below. The sdcard SPI is connected to:
P9 (SS), P10(Clk), P11(MOSI) and P12 (MISO). It is started with:import sdcard, machine, os sd = sdcard.SDCard(machine.SPI(0), machine.Pin("P9")) os.mount(sd, "/card")But it is very unstable, runs at low speed only, and data read from the card contains the byte sequence "\x7f\x04" here and there. And sometimes lopy simply crashed. So it's nothing really usable at the moment.
I tried that with two different SD card adapters. One with embedded bus drivers, which is like the one you have, and one which is simply wiring. The latter runs well when connected to the genuine SD card pins of the xxPy, using the built-in SD card module.""" MicroPython driver for SD cards using SPI bus. Requires an SPI bus and a CS pin.

@robert-hh
Is there any possibility to interface the SD card over shared SPI bus without using any
libraries? I have been getting my head around the SPI module from last week and I haven't got it yet. Not a problem @robert-hh you can let me know how it goes after testing
-
@manju2391 It seems that this library is a little bit outdated. I know that I used this on an esp8266, and it worked. And the version on the micropython.org site seems to be a little bit more recent. (https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/drivers/sdcard). I can check, but not before the evening, which is in about 8 hours.

@livius And value(1) instead of high().
That was a confusing change in the API, which broke a lot of code.

@manju2391
you must addapt it to pycom sources
insteadlow()writevalue(0)

Yes I did import the library and when tried to test it but i'm getting this errorimport machine, sdcard, os
from machine import SPI
from machine import Pinspi = SPI(0, mode=SPI.MASTER, baudrate=2000000, polarity=0, phase=0, pins=('P19','P20','P21'))
CS = Pin('P10', mode=Pin.OUT, pull=Pin.PULL_UP)

If you look below you find linkBut if you really need to use some SPI based module (I will see need for this only when you need more then one SD card) then try this
https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox/tree/master/drivers/sdcardbut i haven't used it and cannot say more about it.

I got it working with SDIO bus but is it possible over shared SPI bus?

@livius
Sorry for the late reply was out of town. I still couldn't figure out how spi works on pycom chip. I'm just confused about the pins .

As we talking privately you do not need this module at all
only direct connection of SD card or simple adapter (without any electronic elements).But if you really need to use some SPI based module (I will see need for this only when you need more then one SD card) then try this

@manju2391 said in External SD Card:
I'm using Catalex Micro SD Card adapter which uses SPI pins.
