Can not initialize sd card using spi bus

[noweare]

I am using the sd card example in the example folder /esp-idf/examples/storage/sd_card/
I am using a Micro SD Card Adapter Module 6Pin SPI Interface Module
I am using version 4.3.1 of the idf
I am getting errors that the sd card initialization failed.

Just for fun I fired up the arduino IDE and using the esp32-arduino core I could access the micro sd card.




The errors are from calling this function esp_vfs_fat_sdspi_mount(,,,)

here is the output from idf

I (0) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.

Here is the code:

    ret = esp_vfs_fat_sdspi_mount(mount_point, &host, &slot_config, &mount_config, &card); //this fn causing problem

Any help figuring this out is appreciated. I may download an older version and see if it works.

So I found the answer to my problem.

In sdmmc_types.h I changed SDMMC_FREQ_DEFAULT from 20000 to 5000 and get past the error.
Only took me a few days on and off to find the solution.

I found it here https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/2478
it was solved by glissmann commented on Aug 31, 2020

So I hope this helps anyone running into this problem.
