SD SPI on K8x response error on spi_exchange

I am new to SD SPI, using ELM_CHAN FatFs with fsl_sdspi, interfacing with a MicroSD card.  Can anyone help figure out why I'm getting kStatus_SDSPI_ResponseError.

Inspecting variable: response has value 0xFF.  MSB remained 1 for the 9 exchange cycles, so clearly it never hit the break.  

Thanks,

The MicroSD slot pinouts were wired incorrectly to the MCU!  The physical board did not match the schematic!

Hope you are well.

Ok not a problem. I recommend to check the following document that uses a KL2x family device. However, the concepts are the same and you may refer to each step in case you missed anything in particular. From your schematic nothing pops out that would be a cause. It may also help if you can get the wave form of the SPI lines to see if what is being sent is also correct and make it easier to debug.

Thanks for that Sabina.

It looks like it may be a hardware design fault.  I immediately noticed that the circuit design in the document that you referenced is quite different.  It has PULL-DOWN resistors on DAT1 and DAT2 signals...

...while manufacturer's specify pull-ups, like this one from Kingston:

pastedImage_2.png

 

Mine has PULL-UP resistors on DAT1 and DAT2 only, and no pull-ups on any on the SPI signals at all, and so relies on the K8I's internal pad pull-ups instead.  I also notice from your reference document that the pull-ups/downs are quite strong – 10KΩ, while my pull-ups are much weaker –  100KΩ for the external pull-ups, and I think the K8x internal pull-ups are somewhere in-between – 47KΩ.

This is what happens electrically;

With and SD card inserted, if I apply the K8x pad pull-ups, with no VDD present, then the card keeps all SPI signals low.  When VDD is applied, the card releases CS, CK and  MISO, and they immediately go high, but MOSI appears to remain driven low by the SD card. 

Thanks,

Denis

Looks like it was a hardware issue - the internal pull-ups may not be strong enough. I soldered some 10K pull-ups on:

  • CMD/DI - SPI_MOSI
  • DAT0/DO - SPI_MISO
  • DAT3/CS - SPI_CS. 
  • DAT1 & DAT2

Now, all the pins, including MISO, are at the correct levels.

Hello Denis,

Hope you are doing well.

Could you please confirm the version of the SDK and IDE that you are using? Are you working on a custom board? 

Are you able to reproduce this error using an evaluation board, so that I may test this on my end.

Best Regards,

Sabina

Hi Sabina,

MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.1 [Build 3241] [2020-03-02]

SDK_2.x_MK81FN256xxx15, Version 2.6.0 (228 1019-06-14), Manifest Version 3.5.0

SDK_2.x_MK82FN256xxx15, Version 2.6.0 (228 1019-06-14), Manifest Version 3.5.0

This is a custom board.

I don't have an evaluation board equipped with its own MicroSD socket.  But I do have a Freedom K82F board. I'll see if I can add a MicroSD socket, using a breadboard.

Best,

Denis

Okay, I have this (uses SPI2, like the custom board):
