Hello ESP-IDF,

Recently I decide to make a "gps camera" for myself. It has many parts. but its core is simple:
I read GPS Sentence from UART, If I push that button, I write this info into SD card.

But the problem is, I would like to use a Nokia 5510 Display for some information display. It would share the same SPI bus with SD card. And I believe it shouldn't impossible, because the beauty of SPI / I²C bus is in such cases.

Automagic function "esp_vfs_fat_sdmmc_mount" would help me do the "spi_bus_initialize". But the same thing has been done by my Display driver too. I've tried to comment out the spi_bus_initialize behavier from function "sdspi_host_init_slot" which that automagic function leveradged for SD card initialization. but I still got panic.

The Trace is as follow:

Code: Select all

I'm very happy with the truth that I can tell you the source code. It's here

A Off-Topic Question:
From SPI [url=https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... aster.html]Master driver Documentation[url] I found this Note:

Half duplex transactions with both read and write phases are not supported when using DMA. See Known Issues for details and workarounds.

Should I watch out this for my application? At least in my trial I can't init SPI Bus correctlly when I try to use DMA when calling "spi_bus_initialize()" (-> '0' has to be set as the value of the last parameter)

Cheers

Hi WiFive,

Thank you very much for the Quick reply. I will checkout the possible solution for my setup and may be post a nice little video if both of them works properly.

Cheers

Jo, I got this working. There is really no trick or change in esp-idf itself. The solution right now is just unplug the display from SPI bus & deinitialize the SPI bus, reinitialize the same SPI bus for SD Card accessing, mount/plug this card (the two job would be done by those automagic functions in sd_card demo codes) on the SPI bus. After finish data I/O, reverse this crazy process again back as normal.

Hello ESP32,

I'm still fight for stopping & restarting SPI Bus "HSPI_HOST" again.
Now I believe I can stop HSPI_HOST and do the SD Card I/O job as I wished. But I get no luck to reinitialize the SPI for the Nokia 5510 Display again.

The Error Log:

What I didn't understand is this one:

Code: Select all

E (12990) spi_master: spi_bus_initialize(236): intr flag not allowed

I know struct "spi_bus_config_t" has attribute "intr_flags", and through the comment in file spi_common.h about this attribute, it configures the Interrupt flag for the bus to set the priority. But it helps me not much. The ported Adafruit_PCD8544 Library for ESP32 did not touch this attribute at all:

Code: Select all

void Adafruit_PCD8544::begin(uint8_t contrast, uint8_t bias) {

	ESP_LOGI(TAG, "test abcd: _sclk: %d, _din: %d", _sclk, _din);

	bus_config.sclk_io_num   = _sclk; // CLK
	bus_config.mosi_io_num   = _din; // MOSI
	bus_config.miso_io_num   = -1; // MISO
	bus_config.quadwp_io_num = -1; // Not used
	bus_config.quadhd_io_num = -1; // Not used
	ESP_LOGI(TAG, "... Initializing bus.");
	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_initialize(HSPI_HOST, &bus_config,1)); // spi_bus_free() for "remove"

	dev_config.duty_cycle_pos   = 0;
	dev_config.cs_ena_posttrans = 0;
	dev_config.cs_ena_pretrans  = 0;
	dev_config.clock_speed_hz   = 800000; // 800KHz
	dev_config.spics_io_num     = _cs;
	dev_config.flags            = 0;
	dev_config.queue_size       = 1;
	dev_config.pre_cb           = NULL;
	dev_config.post_cb          = NULL;
	ESP_LOGI(TAG, "... Adding device bus.");
	ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_add_device(HSPI_HOST, &dev_config, &spi_handle)); // spi_bus_remove_device() for "remove"

  gpio_set_direction((gpio_num_t)_dc, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT);
  if (_rst > 0) {
    gpio_set_direction((gpio_num_t)_rst, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT);
  }

  // toggle RST low to reset
  if (_rst > 0) {
  	gpio_set_level((gpio_num_t)_rst, 0);
  	vTaskDelay(500/portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
  	gpio_set_level((gpio_num_t)_rst, 1);
  }

  // get into the EXTENDED mode!
  command(PCD8544_FUNCTIONSET | PCD8544_EXTENDEDINSTRUCTION );

  // LCD bias select (4 is optimal?)
  command(PCD8544_SETBIAS | bias);

  // set VOP
  if (contrast > 0x7f) {
    contrast = 0x7f;
  }

  command( PCD8544_SETVOP | contrast); // Experimentally determined

  // normal mode
  command(PCD8544_FUNCTIONSET);

  // Set display to Normal
  command(PCD8544_DISPLAYCONTROL | PCD8544_DISPLAYNORMAL);

  // initial display line
  // set page address
  // set column address
  // write display data

  // set up a bounding box for screen updates

  updateBoundingBox(0, 0, LCDWIDTH-1, LCDHEIGHT-1);
  // Push out pcd8544_buffer to the Display (will show the AFI logo)
  display();
}

And this initialization works well in its first call (during the initializaiton of the system).
My question is something about how to understand this? Is that means the ported Display driver has some problem? (I've tried to set this flag for SPI bus with no luck) or this is just something impossible (SPI Bus initialize / deinitialize on the fly?)

P.s.:
In the trace log, I'm trying to switching from different "Mode" of the Device. This device is switching from read/display temperature/Humidity to displaying GPS information. The Display & SPI Bus should not / don't have to be deinitialized, but for some other scenario this is not avoidable, so I just generalized this and through function pointer automat all "Mode-Switch". So the log looks some how different. If some one interested in much detailed logic. please contact me, I will try to much my right now status to a separated branch in my Github repo (Because this is still not working, and should not push to mast branch right :->)

Cheers

Su

Hi WiFive,

It just works. Thanks really a lot! I never suppose the error is such a simple one!

Now everything works fine!

Hi ESP32,

Today I bring out this Gear to test its functionality in real. It's really a nice peace of gear!
But I suddenly discovered/figured out, that some times when I try to write things to SD Card, the SD Card seems still no ready for that. I got such a log when I go back to my bench & try to reproduce this error:

Code: Select all

Error Code "0x103" is "ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE" according to this docs.

I'm try to scopping / reproducing the same error with other sd card. The detailed log is as follow:
