SD Card example design using standalone?

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello folks,

Quick question:  Is it possible to do read/writes to an SD card using standalone (bare-metal) OS? 

I tried building a Zynq-based SDK project with a standalone BSP + xilfatfs.  However when I do so I get this error in SDK:

ERROR:EDK:3900 - issued from TCL procedure "::sw_xilfatfs_v1_00_a::xilfatfs_drc"
   line 15
   xilfatfs () - Sysace HW module not present or not accessible from this
   processor. FATfs cannot be used without this module

So my guess is, standalone OS doesn't have libraries for SD/MMC support...

I know the typical flow is to use U-boot/Linux, but my application will be *dumb* simple and U-boot/Linux would be unnecessary overhead. 

The application will simply move a file from SD card over to memory, and buffer the data via GPIOs to an external device.

Thanks,

Eddie

    Hi Guys,

    I mentioned I was working on an SDCard driver.. Well its now working.

    See http://github.com/jameswalmsley/bitthunder/
    Look under drivers/mmc/sdcard.c and drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c

    Also the Xilinx FSBL provides a rather primitive driver example, but
    should help anyone trying to write their own driver.

    Hope this helps,

    James

    Hi James,

    Can you please tell how us to use the SDCard driver that you have built for reading and writing data to sd card.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Prathik4,

    His post was from 4 years ago and looking at his GitHub, it hasn't been updated in over a year. The material you are looking for may be out of date.
