Is it possible to store data on a MMC card without using FAT
PostPosted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 4:58 am     Reply with quote
Hi,

I would like to use a MMC in a datalogger that uses a FRAM and a 16F648A. Instead of storing data using FAT or any other filesystem I would like to directly store data onto the MMC, is this possible ??

Yes it is. You could use the mmc_spi.c driver from ccs

If you are using the FRAM and the MMC card on the same SPI bus then you have a problem. You need to write 512 byte blocks to the MMC card but you do not have 512 bytes of RAM on this PIC to act as a buffer. Once you start writing to the SD card, you cannot desert the CS until you have written the block - the challenge is how do you read from the FRAM while keeping the MMC card selected.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply,

The MMC and the FRAM are on different buses.

Data read from the FRAM is transferred to the MMC by the PIC, the same way data read from the MMC is transferred to the FRAM by the PIC.
