Lopy sd card

[bessonf]

@livius

1. The card makes 32GB.
2. The error is :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name SD

3. I use an expansion board.

@bessonf
strange
but try this and back with results - i have only Wipy and can not check this on Lopy:

import machine
help(machine)

sd = machine.SD()

and what is your firmware?

os.uname()

[bessonf]

@livius

For help(machine) :

 help(machine)
<module 'umachine'>object  is of type module
  __name__ -- umachine

And for os.uname() :

>>> os.uname()
(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.0.0.b1', version='v1.8.6-237-g9d21f17 on 2016-12-15', machine='LoPy with ESP32')

@bessonf
you must upgrade your board firmware
current version is
release='1.6.9.b1'
https://www.pycom.io/resources/

you have really old one :release='1.0.0.b1

@livius
It works thank you very much. I work on the LoPy for 2 weeks and I completely missed this ...

Hi @livius said in Lopy sd card:

You must mout your SD card in boot.py
you mean that we put in boot.py this:

from machine import SD
import os
sd = SD()
os.mount(sd, '/sd')

and in the main.py we put the rest ?
because i try it but it does not work i get an OSError in :

f = open('/sd/test.csv', 'a')

my main.py is in /flash and i have a csv file in /sd that I want to fill it every time.

thanks

@assia
Which error do you get?
And what you get after:

os.listdir('/sd')

[assia]

@livius

Which error do you get?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "main.py", line 9, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 2] ENOENT

and line 9 is: f = open('/sd/test.csv', 'a')

And what you get after:
os.listdir('/sd')

I get empty list

@assia
What's the storage size of the SD card?

Larger cards tend to be pre-formatted as exFAT which is not enabled in the default Micropython configuration (as Microsoft demands a patent license)

[assia]

Hi @jmarcelino the storage size is 2 Go and i had formatted it as FAT32.
I have already managed to write in this card by executing the commands directly into the pycom console in pymakr but now as I want to execute it in main.py I do not succeed.
thanks

@assia
Thanks, so f = open('/sd/test.csv', 'a') works from the REPL (python console) but not in main.py?

Does changing 'a' to 'w' in the open(...) mode change anything (other than that the file will be empty again with each open)

[assia]

@jmarcelino
I put the code in main.py :

from machine import SD
import os
sd = SD()
os.mount(sd, '/sd')
f = open('/sd/test.csv', 'a')

it worked but just the first time also in REPL and when I restart my lopy I get:
OSError in os.mount(sd, '/sd') like:
OSError: the requested operation is not possible

I suppose that the SDcard remains mounted and we can not mount it a second time in this case we must check if it is already mounted and then writing on it
