PlatformIO problem working with SD card

[MHYCWasTaken]

PlatformIO, esp32

I am using a touch screen(ILI9341), the screen and touch worked well
But SD.begin() gives me

[   402][E][esp32-hal-cpu.c:110] addApbChangeCallback(): duplicate func=0x400d8098 arg=0x3ffbdc60
[  1916][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed
[  2416][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed
[  2416][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work
[  2948][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed

And SD.open() gives me

[  2948][E][vfs_api.cpp:24] open(): File system is not mounted

My code is like:

#include <arduino.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();
...
void init() {
  ...
  tft.init();
  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
  SD.begin(12, SPI, 1000000);
  File f = SD.open("test.txt", FILE_WRITE);
  ...
}
...

I didn't do SPI.begin(), so im kinda sure SD and TFT are using a same SPI object (that tft.init() created)
But when I add SPI.begin(18, 19, 23); between tft.init() and SD.init()
(There should be 4 args, the last arg is ss, but i dont know what ssis , is it same as cs? if it is, should i use SD's cs or TFT's cs or TOUCH's cs?)
SPI.begin() gives me

[   402][E][esp32-hal-cpu.c:110] addApbChangeCallback(): duplicate func=0x400d80a8 arg=0x3ffbdc60

SD.begin() gives me

[   720][E][sd_diskio.cpp:199] sdCommand(): Card Failed! cmd: 0x37
[   720][E][sd_diskio.cpp:199] sdCommand(): Card Failed! cmd: 0x29
[   727][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work

And SD.open() give the same error

[   959][E][vfs_api.cpp:24] open(): File system is not mounted

Then, I put SPI.begin() line in front of tft.begin(), The error is as same as that when i didn't add SPI.begin()
(So i guess tft.begin() overwrites SPI object?)

My wire connection is like

TOUCH_MISO & SD_MISO ---> 19
TFT_MOSI & TOUCH_MOSI & SD_MOSI ---> 23 
TFT_SCLK & TOUCH_SLCK & SD_SLCK ---> 18
TFT_CS ---> 15
TOUCH_CS ---> 21
SD_CS ---> 12

My SD card is 32gb, but i have just make a partition with 1.5gb size and FAT16, the left space has no partition
Accordint to 1509, I have no idea im using which of FSPI, VSPI or HSPI, i have no code setting them

---

(sorry my english is a little poor)
(and im basiclly new to hardware stuff)

By the way, ive post this question to 1509, but there was no reply
Should i not post question to a closed issue?

Maybe try to change the SD.begin(12, SPI, 1000000); to SD.begin(12, tft.getSPIinstance(), 1000000); ?
Also, ss is the same as cs afaik.

Hi
Not working, I got the same error
as

[  1604][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed
[  2104][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed
[  2104][E][sd_diskio.cpp:199] sdCommand(): Card Failed! cmd: 0x29
[  2104][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work
[  2707][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed

Is there any way to make tft use a specific spi object?

[Zombieschannel]

Not sure if there is a way to make tft use a specific object. Not sure if you know this but esp32 has 2 SPIs. VSPI and HSPI. You could use one for SD card and one for tft(User config in the tft library has an option to use HSPI instead of VSPI). I know I got the sd + tft to work on either both SPIs or on a single VSPI, so not sure why this wouldn't work.

[TangerineDreamer]

try in the setup:

SD.begin(PIN_SD_CARD_CLK, PIN_SD_CARD_MISO, PIN_SD_CARD_MOSI, PIN_SD_CARD_CS);

then:

 if (!sd.begin(12,10)) {
    Serial.println("SD card error!");
    while (true);
  }

etc...

[MHYCWasTaken]

Sorry, I didn't really get your point
Where comes sd ? Shouldn't it be SD?
And the second arg of SD.begin() should be a SPIClass
But I tried this code anyway:

#include <arduino.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();
...
void init() {
  ...
  tft.init();
  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
  Serial.println("1");
  SPI.begin(18, 19, 23, 12);
  Serial.println("2");
  if(! SD.begin(12)) { // SD.begin(12, SPI) gives me same error
    Serianl.println("E");
    while(1);
  }
  File f = SD.open("test.txt", FILE_WRITE);
  ...
}
...

it gives me:

1
[   402][E][esp32-hal-cpu.c:110] addApbChangeCallback(): duplicate func=0x400d7fb8 arg=0x3ffbdbfc
2

[   712][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work
E

If i use SD.begin(12, tft.getSPIinstance()), it gives me two more lines:

  1
  [   402][E][esp32-hal-cpu.c:110] addApbChangeCallback(): duplicate func=0x400d7fc4 arg=0x3ffbdbfc

+ [  1885][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed
  E

Since i did SPI.begin() with SD's CS, i've also tried SD.begin() with no args:

ooops sorry,i was dealing with sdfat,but with SD.h the name is SD

#include <arduino.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();

// **************** SD CARD
const int SD_CS_PIN = 12; //your cs pin
#define SPI_SPEED SD_SCK_MHZ(10) //around this

etc........

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
SPI.begin(18, 19, 23, 12);

if (!SD.begin(SD_CS_PIN, SPI_SPEED)) { //the second argument is the speed in Mhz ,10 to 15 is the deal
    Serial.println("SD card error!");
    while (true);
  }
etc...

[MHYCWasTaken]

As you see, the second parameter should be a SPIClass and it's default SPI , the third parameter is the SPI_SPEED
So I tried SD.begin(12, SPI, 10), And it didn't work

Well im thinking about if this is a problem with my sd card
The card is a little old, but my computer can read it perfectly
So I've bought another sd card online

Hey @MHYCWasTaken !

Were you able to solve this error?
I'm not using this library, but I'm facing the same issue when trying to connect a W5500 module in a SPI interface and a SD module in another SPI interface.

[TangerineDreamer]

That's weird!!

Here : https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/sd/begin/
it's written "SD.begin(cspin)" where cspin is optionnal.

Someone wrote here: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/33455/why-is-sd-card-failing-to-begin
" I only initialize the card once at "sd.cardBegin(SD_CHIP_SELECT, SPI_HALF_SPEED)", "

I can tell you i also had problems with "sdcard CS failed" all of because it was a 32Gb card and the one wich worked
was a 16Gb,maybe it's the source of your problem.

If you use a esp32 devkit1 (regular one),take a look at this post:
#2717

The example i posted there works with a sdcard and a separate tft, but use HSPI & VSPI,don't need to activate
anything with "digitalWrite procedure" in the setup,it works fine as it is.
