I also ran into a error where I could not build my project with a max sector size of 4096 (too large) so I changed it to 2048 and it worked fine.

You are getting error in mount itself. There isn't much i can do here.. It Could be anything.. Check your connection Sd card is in FAT format ? Check the SPI speed, it should be around 2Mb/s Check the connection again.. there could be a loose wire.
@@ControllersTech What do you mean by not generating the code properly? I am using CubeMX version 5.5 to generate Keil projects. I added fatfs_sd.c and .h to their folder (Src and Inc respectively), and clicked "Add Existing File to group Application/User". Is there anything else to do to properly link the drivers?
@@ControllersTech Would it be preferable for me to use SDIO, rather than SPI, as it seems my board features a 4bit bus SDIO interface, which I've heard is 4 times as fast as SPI?
i m using this method and one of my sd card is working fine but other is not working. But both sd cards are working fine in laptop. I dont know what is wrong.
Every 512th character in the file is in error. This must be an indication of the block size being in error or something. What do I have to do, format the SD card? It says its block size is 512
Good morning i have a little project that i have to do but do you think that we can transfer files between two stm32 with spi ( files like .txt) thank youu
I commented this lines and it is working now, pay attention everybody that is anyone that is starting with this example to comment this if you want to put the sd card in your pc to see the data that was written on the sd card. I used a 16GB San Disk Ultra MICRO SD HC I and now worked. I think that cards with 2GB not work because i tested with 2 of then, maybe i should make the same thing that i did when formatted the sd card. The codes of control tech work really, but if you download the already code you have to follow the comments of the video about change MAX_SS to 4096 and USE_LFN to ENABLED WITH STATIC WORKING buffer on bss . When you format the SD CARD should make with FAT 32 and choose 4096 bytes. And slow the speed of SPI to 2.25MBps and i put external 5V power. Control tech have very good videos. I don´t like when my things not work, sorry about my declaration that i did before. Thank you very much for this video. And i am sending my contribution to this site. /*************************REMOVING FILES FROM THE DIRECTORY ****************************/ /* fresult = f_unlink("/file1.txt"); if (fresult == FR_OK) send_uart("file1.txt removed successfully...

I open a text file, type something and close it, I want to open it again and add something else without losing what I wrote first. it is not working.why?
Hello! Thanks for the video, it seemed to me quite clear and concise! I have a problem however. After doing the f_open command I get a FR_NOT_READY from the fresult. I have followed all the indications in the video. The only thing that I don't understand is the clock. I have an STM32WB and as I am new to this I have no clue how to set it, so I basically just let it do it's thing. Do you have any idea why I might get that error?
@@ControllersTech Hey! I've just done it and there is no change. I get the same error. (I have a 16Gb card) I want to ask you though, why do you set for your clock the two options "HSE" and "PLLCLK" together? If I do this for my microcontroller I instantly get some 0xfffff8 error or something about "Failed to execute MI command". Also when you wrote this: fresult = f_mount(&fs, "/", 1); I saw that here you put 0 and on the website there's 1. What is this for? Thanks for answering!
HSE is for selecting external crystal for clock PLL is phase loop clock use in all the ARM processors. If u are having problems with the clock, i would advice you to not select the HSE and leave the clock input at HSI and use HCLK as 50 or 60 MHz. This video was made long ago, and i have modifies the code after that. That's why you might see some changes. Although the process remains same. Since it seems like you don't have much knowledge about stm32, i would say first try blinking led and start low.
Thanks for the video!! Worked here in my STM32L152 Disco board, with minor adjustments. I was able to create files, write and read. However, a few weird outcomes: total and free sizes result with a dot before the number (numbers seem correct); also, the current version of FIL struct in ff.h doesn't seem to have the .fsize field, so I haven't found a way to read the correct amount of bytes yet. Thanks again!

Don't use larger storage card. Make sure the file system is FAT The card shoul not be write protected Some users reported that sandisk card doesn't work
Are u serious ? Temperature is a float value.. f_write accepts a buffer.. Use sprintf to convert and store those values in the buffer. And then send buffer

@controllerstech am using stm32l476rg micro controller when interfacing with micro sdcard adapter am using your program to control it as per your procedure to settings in cubemx....but i get the "ERROR!!! IN mounting sd card" what mistake maybe occurred in my side...please give the solution
You are getting error in mount itself. There isn't much i can do here.. It Could be anything..
Check your connection
Sd card is in FAT format ?
Check the SPI speed, it should be around 2Mb/s
Check the connection again.. there could be a loose wire.
@@ControllersTech my SD CARD is in FAT32(default) type.....how can i change into FAT type .....
@@ControllersTech when am debugging this code "fresult" return a FR_DISK_ERROR givs....what is the problem may happen...please give the solution....
Wait for few hrs. I am updating the code. It might work after that. Check after 4 hrs

Hey, I'm saving data on .csv format, and I can't update the file using f_lseek, cause I think it doesn't recognize the filinfo.fsize. Have any tips?
you can also get the size using the function f_size
elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/doc/size.html
I am having problems with the "fatfs_sd.h" file : BYTE, DSTATUS, DRESULT, DWORD etc all all marked as "unkown type". Using Keil IDE 5
Also using the Nucleo-STM32F446RE, if that matters
I will take a look at it again...
Looks like you haven't generated the code properly or something to do with keil..
@@ControllersTech What do you mean by not generating the code properly? I am using CubeMX version 5.5 to generate Keil projects. I added fatfs_sd.c and .h to their folder (Src and Inc respectively), and clicked "Add Existing File to group Application/User". Is there anything else to do to properly link the drivers?
@@ControllersTech Would it be preferable for me to use SDIO, rather than SPI, as it seems my board features a 4bit bus SDIO interface, which I've heard is 4 times as fast as SPI?
i m using this method and one of my sd card is working fine but other is not working. But both sd cards are working fine in laptop. I dont know what is wrong.
Every 512th character in the file is in error. This must be an indication of the block size being in error or something. What do I have to do, format the SD card? It says its block size is 512
Hi, Is there anything else to do, except replacing libraries with old one, to avoid getting FR_NO_FILESYSTEM? Iam using F303RE board
Anyone, please helpme. Why f_puts don't work?
I tryed to invert the wires MOSI and MISO and nothing, i tryed to put external 5V to the SD card board and nothing, all the same error
Good morning i have a little project that i have to do but do you think that we can transfer files between two stm32 with spi ( files like .txt) thank youu
Thats a very useful video thnk you so much
From where do i copy the library files fatfs_sd.c and .h files into the folders of project.
Just download the code. They are in the inc and sec folders
Is there a way to send data with DMA ?
thank you sir can you guide how the usb interfacing
Does not print the value in the variable.Printing ASCI value.Can I fixed?
How are u Passing the variable ?
I put external 5V and not worked. I changed of sd card to another one of 16GB and still not working
One more comment from you and i will block you.
I told you, ask in those groups. There is no point in spamming on RUclips
Is there a way to read last 'x' number of bytes from the card?
Yeah.. You can take a look at the f_lseek.
Basically just move the pointer to (file size - x), and than read
I commented this lines and it is working now, pay attention everybody that is anyone that is starting with this example to comment this if you want to put the sd card in your pc to see the data that was written on the sd card. I used a 16GB San Disk Ultra MICRO SD HC I and now worked. I think that cards with 2GB not work because i tested with 2 of then, maybe i should make the same thing that i did when formatted the sd card. The codes of control tech work really, but if you download the already code you have to follow the comments of the video about change MAX_SS to 4096 and USE_LFN to ENABLED WITH STATIC WORKING buffer on bss . When you format the SD CARD should make with FAT 32 and choose 4096 bytes. And slow the speed of SPI to 2.25MBps and i put external 5V power. Control tech have very good videos. I don´t like when my things not work, sorry about my declaration that i did before. Thank you very much for this video. And i am sending my contribution to this site.

I am trying to create the file but file is not able to get created
Hello! Tell me, please, how can I assign a file name to some buffer?
I open a text file, type something and close it, I want to open it again and add something else without losing what I wrote first. it is not working.why?
You have to use the append attribute..
Or do this
Open the file
Use lseek to point to the end of the file
Write the data
@@ControllersTech Thanks a lot
@@ControllersTech what is the the append attribute ?I dont know.Can you help me ?
FA_APPEND
Hello! Thanks for the video, it seemed to me quite clear and concise!
I have a problem however. After doing the f_open command I get a FR_NOT_READY from the fresult.
I have followed all the indications in the video. The only thing that I don't understand is the clock. I have an STM32WB and as I am new to this I have no clue how to set it, so I basically just let it do it's thing.
Do you have any idea why I might get that error?
Some connection problem. Make sure the card is formatted with FAT or FAT32
Also try to reduce the SPI speed and see if it can help
@@ControllersTech Hey! I've just done it and there is no change. I get the same error. (I have a 16Gb card)
I want to ask you though, why do you set for your clock the two options "HSE" and "PLLCLK" together? If I do this for my microcontroller I instantly get some 0xfffff8 error or something about "Failed to execute MI command".
Also when you wrote this: fresult = f_mount(&fs, "/", 1); I saw that here you put 0 and on the website there's 1. What is this for?
Thanks for answering!
HSE is for selecting external crystal for clock
PLL is phase loop clock use in all the ARM processors.
If u are having problems with the clock, i would advice you to not select the HSE and leave the clock input at HSI and use HCLK as 50 or 60 MHz.
This video was made long ago, and i have modifies the code after that. That's why you might see some changes.
Although the process remains same.
Since it seems like you don't have much knowledge about stm32, i would say first try blinking led and start low.
I face the same issue. Did you fix it?
Thanks for the video!! Worked here in my STM32L152 Disco board, with minor adjustments. I was able to create files, write and read. However, a few weird outcomes: total and free sizes result with a dot before the number (numbers seem correct); also, the current version of FIL struct in ff.h doesn't seem to have the .fsize field, so I haven't found a way to read the correct amount of bytes yet.
Thanks again!
How to make a file with increment filename?
Can i make it with same configuration like in your video?
File name is a string.
use something like this
sprintf(namebuf, "file%d",indx++);
That's it. Namebuf will have the file names like file1 file2 etc.
Excellent sir,where i can find block diagram for this project??
Very well explained! May I ask , how can you write data to the next line in the text file ? I have been trying to write Buffer data vertically in the TXT file but they all go horizontal. I will really appreciate your help .thanks
Use the '
' at the end of the string. That way, next string will be written in the next line
hello , first of all thanks for this tutorial. I tried this project with stm32f446re and it works pretty well. But i need to save a value every 10us at specific .txt file. For this reason i open , write and close the .txt file into an tim_irq_handler. It seems that the proccess of saving the data takes longer than expected. Do you have recommended changes in the above code to enhance performance?
Thank you !
I am trying to access SD card using MikroC for the Board-STM32F446RE...I am facing a problem on Intializing the card ...The statement Fat32_init() does not seems to be working...
And there is no response from the MISO line .
Can you please help on this.
I don't know. It could be anything... Are u initialising all the peripherals by your own or using cubemx ?
Also check what error are you getting. You can do this by checking the error status.
Hi..The tutorial is really awesome.Asper the instruction i have implmented the code but i am gettingg DISK_Error fom return staement of FRESULT?How to troublehoot the prooblem.kinldy explain
what is the difference between "fresult = f_mount(&fs, "", 0);" and "fresult = f_mount(&fs, "/", 1);" ?
"0" means the card can be mounted later also. We have executed the command and now it can mount anytime.
"1" means mount the card immediately.
"/" Is the path of the sd card, where the mount will take place.
Thankyou sir..
@@ControllersTech I wanna ask again, why I can't use it inside HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback function for interrupt?
have you tried interfacing sht31 temperature and humidity sensor?

Hi, is it possible to store a file after or out the main function??
Out of the main function ? Means where ?
Only the main function gets executed...
You can write another function outside the main but you need to call it at some point in the main function

Hello thx for this tuto ! I would like to do the same but with ide arduino ... I didn't find help in the internet, do you think it's possible to interface sd card with stm32f103c8 using spi and arduino ide ?
Just use the arduino code. What's the issue ?
Adding this driver to my project overflowed my RAM by like 11kB, any idea where all this extra memory allocation is coming from? I've skimmed through fastfs_sd.c and .h and can't see anything obvious.
Can't say really.. which controller are u using btw ?
Try not using my code. See the video and write yourself. That way you always know what u r doing and the places, where things get messed up.
@@ControllersTech Good advice, in the end it had nothing to do with your drivers. Thanks for sharing your code!
@@tjwelsh1438 could You share the solution?
I have some strange problem during compiling. There are an compile error: "#error This file is not needed in current configuration. Remove from the project." in cc932.c.
Maybe things have changed with new version of HAL.. i have to check it again..
@@ControllersTech Thank you. Let me know, if you check, please. I have tried many solutions and I don't have an idea what to do.
Which controller do you have
@@ControllersTech I have checked F746ZG, but I have F410RRB and F103RB (all Nucleo boards) too. Of course I've changed header includes in every file with it.
Very informative video. Can i use the same code for interfacing in Keil software.? Please help.
Yes
What write speed (MB/s) to card can I expect using this method?
Not much. Try around 2Mb/s and than go higher..
I am new to the microcontroller programming.
i have created the new project as per your video but i am not able to see the file "user_diskio.c" in may project and also not in your code(zip file which i downloaded from you link).
and one more thing , are the files fatfs_sd.c and fatfs_sd.h are standard files or your custom made files,
if these these are standard files then why these are not a part of the created project.
User_diskio.c file is in FATFS -> Target folder
Fatfs_sd.c and .h are not the default files. You have to copy them from my project into yours.
thankyou for your time
how can we create such library files

But none understood to an extent to solve the problem. Also how did you port the code ? Probably that can work for me too.
There are few things
* Some users have reported that SanDisk cards are not working.
* Make sure the sd card is formatted in FAT
* Use the smaller size at first. I have used a 1GB card while making this video

Is it working if we do not use USART? And where do you connect those USART pins to?
Of course it works without uart. Uart is just to check, its like verbose in linux 😀. Pins are connected to the Tx and Rx pins..
Controllers Tech we did exactly what you did and when we step into the f_open it goes directly to res != fr_ok. Do you know why? Actually I think only the f_mount works fine.
