Reading an SD card with an ATMEGA1. In this small week end project, I will connect a SD card to an ATMEGA1. The SD card pin out. The SD card can be talked to with three different transfer modes 1 bit SD mode, 4 bit SD mode and SPI mode. According to Wikipedia, all cards must support all three modes except for micro SD where the SPI mode is optional. I will nonetheless try to read my micro SD with the SPI mode. Edit Correct pinout table added thanks to John Ulyates commentConnecting the card to a circuit. Change Micro Sd Card Serial Number' title='Change Micro Sd Card Serial Number' />I found a circuit example on the following page http www. The MCU is a 5. V powered ATMEGA1. The SD card is powered through a 3. V regulator. The author used resistor dividers to connect the SD card inputs to the ATMEGA1. SPI pins. I bought the same regulator and thought, why not instead try to power the ATMEGA1. V thus avoiding the need for a voltage adaptation.

Its cheap and of excellent quality. MB and 1, 2, 4 GB MMC and SDHC cards used as storage. The ATMEGA1. 68 datasheet tells me that at 3. V the maximum safe frequency is 1. MHz so I can keep my current crystal. I improvised an interface for a micro SD with a SD card adapter and a 7 pins header. I used some thin wire to avoid stressing the SD Card pads and added some hot glue to have a stronger header connector. Here is the schematic of my version of the circuit and a picture of the resulting breadboard Understanding the SPI interface. SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface. This interface allows high speed synchronous transfers between a MCU and a peripheral or another MCU. The ATMEGA1. 68 datasheet contains the following figure that highlights the powerful simplicity of this interface Each side of the interface has a 8 bit shift register. Iterating on my precedent post, the next logical step is to use the USB interface to access the SD card connected to the Teensy2ATMEGA32U4 with a Mass Storage profile. SD cards. The SD card is a key part of the Raspberry Pi it provides the initial storage for the Operating System and files. Storage can be extended through many. The left side is the master and the right side is the slave. When the master initiates a transfer to the slave, its SPI clock signal triggers a bit by bit copy of each register to the other one. Sending a byte from the master always involves receiving a byte from the slave. The master SPI clock dictates the speed of the transfer. For the ATMEGA1. 68 the maximum speed is Fclk2. So with a 1. 6 MHz crystal, the maximum theoretical bandwidth is 8. Mbits, or 1. MBytes.

Samsung Galaxy S3 has an extrenal SD card slot, which is mounted to mntextSdCard. My question is how to get this path by something like Environment. SPI interface and do a transfer.

The interface can be tested with a loopback by wiring the MOSI output to the MISO input, you can check that the received byte match the sent byte. Implementing the MMC protocol. The protocol to use with the SPI interface is defined by Sandisk Prod. Manual. SDCardv. 1. For a simple implementation, I started from the AN1. LPC2. 00. 0 application note Accessing SDMMC card using SPI on LPC2. I adapted the mmcinit and mmcreadblock functions to be able to read the first block of a SD card. The full program is downloadable at the end of the post. The serial port speed is set at 5. Here is the serial output of reading the sector 6. SD card. It contains a FAT3.

To read the data from the filesystem on the SD card you need the mmcreadblock primitive and an implementation of the FAT1. FAT3. 2 abstraction. Because this is a week end project, I changed gears and switched to an open source library to do the job. Roland Riegel has implemented a sd reader library for the ATMEGA8 family. Its FAT1. 6 implementation can fit in an ATMEGA1. FAT3. 2 one requires the ROM size of an ATMEGA3. You can download the latest source code on this page http www. No modifications are needed for the ATMEGA1. Outlook 2013 For Windows 7. I just modified the configuration of the programmer to use an avrispmkii. MCUAVRDUDE P usb c avrispmk. II V U flash w HEX.

You can check in Disk Utility that the SD card has been correctly formatted with a FAT1. Testing the library. My first tries with the write command failed inexpectedly. I was able to create a directory, touch a file, but unable to write data in it. At the same time I stumbled on the Open. Log board from Sparkfun that is based on the very same library. By comparing the implementation with the reference one, I found the explanation for my failing write. The sd reader library expects a pin telling if the lock switch of a card is enabled. I dont provide this facility and have to bypass it. The Hobbit Game 2003 Pc. To do so I patched the library with the modifications from the Open. Log firmware product page in sdrawconfig. From Sparkfun Open.

I also added a modification of my own to display the ASCII content of a file with the cat command in main. Display printable characters foruint. With this modification, everything is working fine. Trashes 4. Trashes 0. Spotlight V1. 00 0. My patches to the sd reader library are available at the end of the post. A drawback the required code size. After having understand how the SPI interface is working and how to dialog with an MMC card, I can see myself using the sd reader library in a future project. One drawback of the library is the size of code required to implement the FAT1. ATMEGA1. 68 without a flash loader. RAM usage. MMCSD2. Partition. 45. 61. FAT1. 67. 92. 81. You also need half the size of the ATMEGA1. RAM for the MMC layer to be able to load blocks in memory. If you need to save on flash space, an alternative is to only use raw accesses to the SD card blocks. The SD card can then be saw as a giant EEPROM where you readwrite pages. The trade off is that you will not be able to plug the card in a PC and expect to be able to read its content in the explorerfinder. It could only be read with commands issued through the MCU with a serial link for example. For a serious application requiring FAT1. MCU and PC, I would recommend to directly start a project with at least an ATMEGA3.
