SDIO Interface

[chrhsmt]

I just tried SDIO example (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ge/sd_card).
1bit mode works, but 4bit mode does not work.

Connections are ok (correctly as https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... d#hardware).
My SD card board has no internal pullup register.
I've already done `espefuse.py set_flash_voltage 3.3V` .

error log is below(verbose log).

Does anybody has clue ?

[ESP_igrr]

Do you have pullup resistors on SD card data lines? Sorry, I don't understand what 'internal pullup registers' means.

I just tried SDIO example (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ge/sd_card).
1bit mode works, but 4bit mode does not work.

looks the connection like the second?

You must itself pullup the lines!
pullup the GPIO with Software does not work
You need "hardware resistors on the lines"

only for clarification:
does the 1bit mode that works -look like this?
do you have Pullups in Hardware in the line?

so you must do the same in 4bit mode with the other lines like posted and named in the demo.

@ESP_igrr "Internal" means "inside" or "on board". My sd card board has no pull up resister by itself.

Yes. I done hardware pullup the line. not software.
All 6 line is pulled up by 10K ohm register.

And, I am doing this on breadboard. Is it OK ? ( I heared that breadboard is not good for high frequency circuit).

What else should I check ?
What else could be considered as a reason for crc error ?

[ESP_igrr]

In case you are doing this on the breadboard, re-check your connections. The error being reported is 0x109 or ESP_ERR_INVALID_CRC (see esp_err.h), which usually indicates that there is a signal integrity issue. The driver will use 20MHz clock for most of the cards.

If you find that this doesn't work reliably on the breadboard, you can lower the frequency by changing the value of max_freq_khz field in sdmmc_host_t structure passed into sdmmc_card_init function (like this).

Hi sintech,
I tried your method but got the same error:

I will try the eFuse way.

I'm able to run an example in 4-bit mode only after:
1. disconnecting GPIO12 from SD-card shield (with soldered pull-ups) (to not interfere with internal pull-down signaling of LDO voltage)
2. addling 5 second delay at the beginning of my code
3. reconnecting GPIO12 to SD CARD D2 during this delay.

Speaking about LDO voltage. I have measured voltage on bare GPIO12 pin and it is 0V. So according to page 9 of ESP32 datasheet I made an assumption that internal flash on my module is 3.3V. But in sd_card example readme file I found an opposite information "For boards which use 1.8V flash chip, GPIO12 needs to be low at reset.". So what is true?
And please share with us commands how to set efuses for SDIO_TIEH=0 and SDIO_FORCE=1, because (if I understand correctly) this settings are permanent and can't be changed back.

I have also made some benchmarking (using a code from test_sd.c) and here are the results:

Indeed, WiFive is correct. If you have an SPI flash chip connected to the standard pins, there will be a conflict between SDIO master and SPI0 peripheral. If you want to use SDIO master on HS0 slot, you need to move SPI flash chip to a different set of pins (this is possible by programming Efuses).

Is this still a problem with release/v2.1 and master branches? What is the conflict?

My circuit uses external flash, and these fuses:

Code: Select all

Config fuses:
XPD_SDIO_FORCE         Ignore MTDI pin (GPIO12) for VDD_SDIO on reset    = 1 R/W (0x1)
XPD_SDIO_REG           If XPD_SDIO_FORCE, enable VDD_SDIO reg on reset   = 1 R/W (0x1)
XPD_SDIO_TIEH          If XPD_SDIO_FORCE & XPD_SDIO_REG, 1=3.3V 0=1.8V   = 1 R/W (0x1)
SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CLK     Override SD_CLK pad (GPIO6/SPICLK)                = 6 R/W (0x6)
SPI_PAD_CONFIG_Q       Override SD_DATA_0 pad (GPIO7/SPIQ)               = 7 R/W (0x7)
SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D       Override SD_DATA_1 pad (GPIO8/SPID)               = 8 R/W (0x8)
SPI_PAD_CONFIG_HD      Override SD_DATA_2 pad (GPIO9/SPIHD)              = 9 R/W (0x9)
SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CS0     Override SD_CMD pad (GPIO11/SPICS0)               = 22 R/W (0x16)
DISABLE_SDIO_HOST      Disable SDIO host                                 = 0 R/W (0x0)

then SDCARD in SD mode using standard pins. Standard devkit-c style dual transistor logic for BOOT and EN. GPIO2 is tied to GPIO1. Pull-ups as described in the example.

Mostly getting checksum errors, and in general the SD CARD access is unreliable.
