MicroSD: New Card Issues

Using Arduino Storage
13

Ordering new cards seems like a good idea.

I noticed that BENCH.DAT was created even though open failed. This means data was written to the card but a failed status was returned.

I am curious to see what happens if you edit Sd2Card.cpp to accept the incorrect return status.

At about line 670 of Sd2Card.cpp change this

  status_ = spiRec();
  if ((status_ & DATA_RES_MASK) != DATA_RES_ACCEPTED) {
    error(SD_CARD_ERROR_WRITE);
    goto fail;
  }
  return true;

to this

  status_ = spiRec();
  return true;  // Ignore write response
  if ((status_ & DATA_RES_MASK) != DATA_RES_ACCEPTED) {
    error(SD_CARD_ERROR_WRITE);
    goto fail;
  }
  return true;

Run bench and see if BENCH.DAT contains text lines like this:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
