SD example crashs on ESP-WROVER-KIT

[StefanS]

Hello,

I've two ESP-WROVER-KIT and the SD card example crashes always on one board, and works with the second one.
The example is exactly as provided by IDF, only with modified SD slot number:

Code: Select all

sdmmc_host_t host = SDMMC_HOST_DEFAULT();
host.slot = SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1;

This is the console output:

Code: Select all

Entering gdb stub now.

Any idea what could be the reason for this?

Thank you

From memory, that slot shares pins with the SPI flash (given that you use a pre-existing module or board, or the default flash pins). Your code is (mostly) executed from that flash, so re-purposing those pins for something else is something the ESP32 doesn't quite like as all of a sudden it can't access its program data anymore.

This doesn't actually do anything

Code: Select all

host.slot = SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1;

Sprite, you're right that the first SDMMC slot is shared by the flash (SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_0).
The second slot (SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1) is directly wired to the SD card holder in ESP-WROVER-KIT v3.
So I guess the reason for the crash is something else.

Oops, because your code implied you changed the slot from the default I imagined you were using slot 0. Sorry for throwing you that red herring!
