SD-Card performance very bad after upgrading from 1.0.6 core to 2.0.2

Postby esp1979 » Sat Apr 16, 2022 12:55 pm

Hi all,


can you confirm that the SD-Card performance is very bad in core 2.0.2?
I have tried this example (from the examples folder):

Code: Select all

/*
 * Connect the SD card to the following pins:
 *
 * SD Card | ESP32
 *    D2       -
 *    D3       SS
 *    CMD      MOSI
 *    VSS      GND
 *    VDD      3.3V
 *    CLK      SCK
 *    VSS      GND
 *    D0       MISO
 *    D1       -

    Serial.printf("Used space: %lluMB\n", SD.usedBytes() / (1024 * 1024));
}

void loop(){

}



with core 1.0.6 is is very fast.
With core 2.0.2 very very very slow.

Is there a solution / reason for the lack of performance?

Best wishes
Daniel
