ESP32 sd card mount fail after deep sleep

Posted: Thu Jun 27, 2019 1:39 pm

I am getting an error that the sd card cant be mounted when the ESP32 comes out of deep sleep. The board is coded to wake up on a timer from deep sleep and mount the sd card and take a picture. My question is how can I get the SD card to mount properly? I am providing 3volts to the board and I think the same error happens when 5volts is applied. Here is the code:

  IMPORTANT!!! 
   - Select Board "ESP32 Wrover Module"
   - Select the Partion Scheme "Huge APP (3MB No OTA)
   - GPIO 0 must be connected to GND to upload a sketch
   - After connecting GPIO 0 to GND, press the ESP32-CAM on-board RESET button to put your board in flashing mode

The code you have posted forces GPIO4 to hold its value in this line:

rtc_gpio_hold_en(GPIO_NUM_4);

This pin is used for SD card interface. You need to un-hold it after deep sleep wakeup if you want to use the pin again.

Thank you so much. This solved it for me. I should now be able to use other pins not being used by the SD card or camera? I want to add an external wake via a PIR sensor.

Hi igrr, I see your post on github about the ESP wrover and attaching an sd card. Could you help me a bit further and help me figure out which pin to send high or low to make an external reset possible

esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup(GPIO_NUM_13,0);

I am not good with wiring but I have a transistor and some resistors and I am trying to send a signal high or low to GPIO 13. The code above makes it so the ESP knows to wake up.

here are the schematics
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-p ... nce-gpios/

and here is the pins that are used by the camera and the sd card on page 3

I was able to get my project to work using GPIO 13 pin D3 and a transistor and resistor to pull it down.
