| Problem with PIC 18F4550 and SDCARD and ex_fat.c modified CC |
 Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2015 8:50 pm |

Hi everybody 
I'm trying to get working the ex_fat.c example.
I'm using a PIC 18F4550.
The pic use a external crystal of 20Mhz.
I use a SD Card normal (No SDHC) of 256 Mb capacity.
I use the PIC Compiler 5.008
I program my pic with a PicKit 2 and the PicKit 2 Kit programmer software.
I made a shield with eagle to get correctly the 4 SPI pins MOSI MISO CLK and CS from the SD card.
The shield have a 10K pull up on the MISO/SDO pin (I can quit it with a jumper).
Here is the schematic : (The 2.2K are in reality of 1.8K).
I tested it successfully with Arduino sample and it worked R/W perfectly.
So my hardware is correct.
Now I connected the shield to the following pins of the pic:
B0 : MOSI
B1 : CLK
B2 : MISO
B4 : CS
C6/C7 : To the serial monitor terminal.
Now, when I'm running the program, on the monitor, I can see the message " ERROR INITILIAZING FAT "
After I try to enter the help command, and the terminal doesn't show me nothing. It only repeats me the sent command.
(COM Problem?)
I tried manually the commands in the while(TRUE)
- disp_folder_contents(dir);
- MakeFile(char *fileName)
Unfortunately without any sucess... :(
I will take me the permission to post the modified code it isn't the same as CCS, because I modified it.
If you think the modified code here will cause you problems with CCS, you can delete it.
Mmmmmm so I'm in this case? https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft (Sorry I'm an hardcore Arduino user  )

I don't know what happening here...
My doubts are about :
- The SPI pin used with the PIC?
- The configuration of the PIC (Software fuses, interrupts?)
- Something or a definition to add in the library?
Thanks for your help, best regards.

How about searching the forum?...
Big problem you have is that the card _does not produce a high enough output voltage to directly drive the SPI input of a 5v PIC_.
An Arduino is not a PIC.....
You need a buffer on the input line between the SD card and the PIC.
Go to this page:
<http://www.brushelectronics.com/index.php?page=projects>
Select the Ethernet reference design for the PIC18F4620.
Look at the third page, which gives the basic circuit needed to connect the SD to a 5v PIC.
Note as well as the input buffers, you also need the pull-up resistors shown. |

Classic 5V PIC 3V peripheral !
Another alternative to additional hardware is to simply use a 3V PIC.
Use the 18LF4550......NOT the 18F4550. The 'L' means it will run on 3 volts.
if this is not an option for you, then you MUST do as Mr. T. points out, add logic level shifting buffers to correctly translate the 3Volt '1's to 5V '1's.

This one is worse than the classic problem because a pull up resistor to +5V has been connected on DO of the SD card. This is pin is open collector (open drain) only during the SPI initialization phase. After initialization t it is a totem pole output that can be damaged by pulling it up to 5 volts even if connected through a series resistor.

Hi there!
Thanks for your answers!
Yes, I think there is an hardware problem so I decided to build a SD CARD module based on the PDF mentioned by Ttelmah, in this case, this schematic exactly:
So I made a board with Eagle, and I built it:
Now I modified the original FAT EXAMPLE form CCS, to only do 2 things:
- Initialize the FAT
- Create a new file called TEST.TXT (Respecting 8.3 fat16 filename)
And follows with the same problem...
| Code: | // Write test.txt file on the root of an FAT SD-CARD with PIC 18F4550
#include <18F4550.h>
#device PASS_STRINGS = IN_RAM
#fuses HSPLL // Usamremos el PIC con un cristal externo
#fuses NOWDT // Descativamos el watchdog timer
#fuses PROTECT // El codigo esta protegido contra la copia y el hex dump
#fuses NOPUT // No hay tiempo de espera de estabilizacion de alimentacion
#fuses PLL5 // Multiplicador PLL 48Mhz por quartz de 20Mhz
#fuses CPUDIV1 // No System Clock Postscaler
#fuses USBDIV // Reloj de USB viene de la PLL / 2
#fuses VREGEN //USB voltage regulator enabled
#use delay(clock=48M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, errors)
//#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C7,rcv=PIN_C6,bits=8, force_sw)
//#define RS232_DEBUG 1
#include <stdlib.h> // for atoi32
//media library, a compatable media library is required for FAT.
#use fast_io(c)
#define MMCSD_PIN_SCL PIN_B1 //o
#define MMCSD_PIN_SDI PIN_B0 //i
#define MMCSD_PIN_SDO PIN_B4 //o
#define MMCSD_PIN_SELECT PIN_B2 //o
#include <mmcsd.c>
//FAT library.
#include <fat.c>
void main(void)
{
int i; // pointer to the buffer
// initialize the FAT
// keep in mind that this will automagically initialize the media
i = fat_init();
if (i)
printf("\r\n\nERROR INITIALIZING FAT\r\n\n");
printf("\r\nMaking file '%s': ", "/TEST.TXT");
if(mk_file("/TEST.TXT") != GOODEC)
{
printf("Error creating file");
return;
}
printf("OK");
// main loop
while(TRUE)
{
}
}

Case 1 : With SD Card
I obtain in the terminal:
Making file '/TEST.TXT':
And I don't get any answer, the PIC get stucked here...
Case 2 : Without SD Card
I obtain in the terminal:
Making file '/TEST.TXT': OK
This time the PIC doesn't look stucked but of course there isn't any SD Card.
Normally I have to get the error message of initializing error and nothing appears.
Here are pictures of the hardware:
About the hardware, I use an external crystal of 20Mhz.
The PIC training board is a TEKNOMOVO ENT-V4. (The B port have pull ups but I quited all of them.)
This is the connection:
B0 : MOSI/SDI
B1 : CLK/SCK
B2 : SS/CS
B4 : MISO/SDO
I believe it is a hardware problem or a connection problem...
What do you think? |

I am impressed with your efforts :-)
I have done a lot of work with PICs and FAT file systems however I have never used the CCS FAT file system drivers so bear that in mind when you look at my comments.
You have not used the hardware SPI port to talk to the SD card. I do not know if the CCS FAT driver supports software SPI (it probably does) but even if it does, it is not a good idea. Why is that? there is a HUGE volume of traffic that must traverse the SPI bus when implementing the FAT file system. If you think about everything the file system must do, it must read the boot sector to find the pointers to the directory and file allocation tables. When you create a file it must search the directory for the next free entry, search the File Allocation Table for the necessary free sectors, create the directory entry, update both copies of the file allocation tables, read in the current content of the 512 byte block from the location on the media where the file is to be located into the files buffer in RAM, write out the file through the RAM buffer, acquiring more sectors if required (may require searching the FAT and updating both copies) with subsequent updating of directory entries. Then when you close the file, it must flush the file buffer to the media and update the directory. SD/MMC cards write in fixed length 512 byte blocks. Updating a FAT entry requires reading in the 512 block containing the sector into RAM, modifying the contents in RAM and then writing back the block. It must repeat this for 2nd copy of the FAT.
The PIC18F4550 is not a good choice for a PIC implementing a FAT file system. Why is that? Not enough RAM to maintain two file buffers (one for the file system and one for the open file (actually one for each open file) and then have enough memory left for the actually application that required a FAT file system in the first place. Similarly the FAT file system consumes a lot of program memory. The PIC18F4550 does not have a lot to start with leaving not a lot to implement the program that required a FAT file system in the first place. If you must stat with the PIC18F family, then a PIC18F4620 or one of the similar variants, is a much better choice with double the RAM and program memory.
I have done a lot of projects using the PIC18F and logging data to SD/MMC media however I would not start a new project today using this family instead my entry platform would be a PIC24 processor with significantly more RAM and program memory enabling multiple concurrent open files and enough RAM and program memory for supporting this class of application.
You did ask :-)

Thanks for your answer.
Now I explain you why I choose the 18F4550.
1 - The price.
2 - The DIP Package (I can't work very well with SMD's).
3 - The posibility to find it easily in a shop.
The aplication I want to do is making a capture of an analog signal and doing a datalogger on a SD-CARD. Each capture will be written on the SD-CARD each 10 seconds and it will be only few characters. So the speed of the SPI bus I think isn't a problem in my case.
I need 16 outputs because I will control other things and the RS232 TX RX bus.
The rest of my code is very light so I won't have any problem if the SD Card and FAT library use a good part of the PIC resources.
That's why I need to get it working on the 18F4550.
Now, regarding at the 18F4550 specs and the harware SPI i found this :
I think the following conexion of the SPI hardware on the 18F4550 is:
RB0 -> MOSI
RB1 -> CLK
RB3 -> CS
RC7 -> MISO
It is correct?
Now looking at the datasheet this will confirm:
Now for the CS pin this is arbitrary? I can put it where I want?
I will try it tomorrow and I give you informations

You have the MISO - MOSI reversed.
RB0 -> MISO
RB1 -> CLK
RB3 -> CS
RC7 -> MOSI
The PIC18F4620 is as readily available as the PIC18F4550 at the same price point. The only reason to choose a PIC18F4550 over a PIC18F4620 is if you need USB support. And even then, the PIC18F4550 is only suitable for simple USB application because you lose half of the limited RAM to the USB peripheral.

The problem is the pin C7 is shared with the RS232 bus :( :( And I need it and I use USB too.
And the B0 B1 are shared with i2c. If I want to use one day an i2c sensor, it will be imposible to use it with the SD CARD? |

How are you going to use FAT and USB at the same time? The PIC does not have enough RAM.
There is far less work for the PIC to do if you implemented a software UART instead of software SPI.

I think most PIC18F PICs have the SPI and I2C peripherals sharing the same pin. In general, for a simple application, you would either the SPI or I2C. Where you need both then you really need a PIC with dual SPI/I2C peripherals.

I too had a few 4550s when they came out as onboard USB sounded good..well too good....at the time it was, well, 'ok', but the USB took up a LOT of program memory(driver) and RAM. Then there's the connection....
A bit later I bought one of those USBTTL modules for $5, it worked fine(still does). Now they're down to $2 each. Having the USB 'off chip' is actually cheaper for me. It frees up a LOT of memory, has the connector(properly wired!), even has a couple LEDs as well.
Consider it an 'option' especially if you value your time ! You can buy a LOT of USBTTL modules for 1 hours R&D $$ !!

Hi there!
I bought a 18F4620, checked the pinout and match with my experiment board!
Next, I connected EXACTLY the SD Card board to the 18F4620 as this schematic :
I use exactly the same hardware.
And it follows with ERROR INITIALIZE SD.
Here is the code:
| Code: | // Write test.txt file on the root of an FAT SD-CARD with PIC 18F4550
#include <18F4620.h>
#device PASS_STRINGS = IN_RAM
#fuses HS // Usamremos el PIC con un cristal externo
#fuses NOWDT // Descativamos el watchdog timer
#fuses PROTECT // El codigo esta protegido contra la copia y el hex dump
#fuses NOPUT // No hay tiempo de espera de estabilizacion de alimentacion
#use delay(clock=20M)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,bits=8,stream=PORT1)
#include <stdlib.h> // for atoi32
//media library, a compatable media library is required for FAT.
#use fast_io(c)
#define MMCSD_PIN_SCL PIN_C3 //o
#define MMCSD_PIN_SDI PIN_C4 //i
#define MMCSD_PIN_SDO PIN_C5 //o
#define MMCSD_PIN_SELECT PIN_C0 //o
#include <mmcsd.c>
//FAT library.
#include <fat.c>
void main(void)
{
int i; // pointer to the buffer
// initialize the FAT
// keep in mind that this will automagically initialize the media
i = fat_init();
if (i)
printf("\r\n\nERROR INITIALIZING FAT\r\n\n");
printf("\r\nMaking file '%s': ", "/TEST.TXT");
if(mk_file("/TEST.TXT") != GOODEC)
{
printf("Error creating file");
return;
}
printf("OK");
// main loop
while(TRUE)
{
}
} |
The SDI pins configuration is correct?
I working with a 20Mhz quartz.
Fuses, PLL? |

The fuses look fine. You do not need the PLL and you cannot use the PLL with a 20MHz crystal anyway.
As mentioned earlier, I cannot comment on the CCS driver.
You have used fast_IO (which is what I always do for SD Logger applications) however fast-IO says .. "don't let the compiler set the I/O direction automatically, let me set it."
Perhaps the CCS driver sets it for you (I do not know) but if it does not then your chip select line will be an input.
Is this the same card you were using when you have the DO pulled up to five volts? If so, have you checked to see if the card still works?
