Storage API support for small capacity SD cards

[user4_esp32]

Hello,

I am using an ESP-WROOM-32 to test the interface to different SD cards, using the sd_card_example_main.c example from the ESP32 IDF. The interface works with an 8 GB SDHC card, but when I try it with a 128 MB micro SD card and see the following error:

Code: Select all

E (244) sdmmc_cmd: sdmmc_card_init: send_if_cond (1) returned 0x108
E (244) SD_events: Failed to initialize the card (264). Make sure SD card lines have pull-up resistors in place.

Both the SD card adapter and the micro SD card adapter have 10kohm pull-ups soldered on.

Does the Storage API actually support smaller capacity SD cards (below 2 GB)? In the IDF docs (https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... sdmmc.html), I see:

"Despite the name, only SD (SDSC/SDHC/SDXC) cards are supported at the moment."

Does "SDSC" mean small capacity?

Thanks.

SDSC means "standard capacity", which is a term used in SD specification. 128MB cards are typically SDSC.
SDMMC driver does not have limitations related to card size, and 128MB (and even 64MB) cards were among those which we have tested. However, among SDSC cards we have found quite a few cards which implement parts of SD specification in interesting ways. For some cases, we have added workarounds in SDMMC driver, some we haven't covered.
It would help if you could set log level to Verbose in menuconfig (component config > log output), post the complete log you get with such a card as a gist, and link it here.
Also please mention the version of IDF you are running.

I've been using an old Nokia 64 MB sdcard without any problem.

Thanks for the tips ESP_igrr--the verbose output is very helpful.

I am not sure which version of the ESP32 IDF I have, but I cloned it from git on 17 Nov 2017, if that helps, and I have not updated since.

Is there a command line method to check the version?

Here is the verbose output using the sd example:
