Hello NETMF Guys,


 


  I am attempting to add SD Card support to my LPC1788 Cortex-M3 port. I am having difficulty in seeing where abouts to inject my low level SD Card code support.


 


  I can see I have included FS_config_stubs.cpp in my PAL. However this seems to want to mount volumes when the device initializes, whereas I wish to support hot swapping SD cards.


 


  I would appreciate any pointers on how to get the RemovableMedia events working. How do I post to these events from my driver, and should I implement a volume in 'FS_MountRemovableVolumes'?


 


  I could not find a port with this implemented in the PAL for me to take a look at. Rather - I can see other examples of using BlockStorage on internal FLASH to mount a 'Volume' but I was not able to see any 'RemoveableVolumes'. Perhaps I shall try to mount my FLASH as a volume first.


 


Many Thanks,
James Carter

Both teh SAM9261_EK and the iMXS solution implement Sd card insert/eject.


check those solutions configuration code under teh respective DeviceCode directory and the SD_BL_Config.cpp driver

Hello Lorenzo,

It appears that both of these examples only include standard Volumes (such as their internal or external Flash) and not removable SD Cards.

Am I missing something here?

this is what I see in my PK:


 


E:\src\client_v4_3_xbox\Solutions\SAM9261_EK\DeviceCode\Blockstorage>dir /ad
 Volume in drive E is Data
 Volume Serial Number is A2BF-6F8C


 Directory of E:\src\client_v4_3_xbox\Solutions\SAM9261_EK\DeviceCode\Blockstorage

               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               5 Dir(s)  406,836,940,800 bytes free


 


 


do you have that too?

Hi Lorenzo,

I understand a bit more now - I had not realised the SD Cards were treated as Blockstorage devices...

Thanks,
James
