Code freezes while mounting SD card once in a while

Hi,

We're using emFile version: V4.04a
What we observed was 1-2/10 times the code is unable to mount the SD card as it gets stuck at FS_Mount("");
Any hint on what might be happening? I've attached the code snippet.

Regards,
Gautam

Hello Gaugan,

Would it be possible to enable the debug output of the SD / MMC driver and post the log?
The debug output can be enabled by adding the following two defines to FS_Conf.h:

C/C++ Source code

 
1
2

#define FS_DEBUG_LEVEL       5
#define FS_LOG_MASK_DEFAULT  FS_MTYPE_DRIVER

Thank you.

Best regards,
Marius

Hi Marius,

PFA Log.
FYI While logging my bootloader was never able to read the SD card contents. Only after disabling logging did the bootloader flash the controller.

Hello Gaugan,

I analyzed the logs but I was not able to find any reason why the mounting of the SD card fails
The communication to SD card seem to work properly.

Could you please post a screen capture of the call stack showing in which
function the code actually blocks? Thank you.

Best regards,
Marius

Hi Marius,

Sorry for the late reply, holidays here. Did lots of testing and here's one thing I observed wrt sd cards and let me share the same with you:
So I tried bootloading process using various SD cards, 5nos 4GB, 2nos 8GB and 1 32GB. 4GB sd cards behaved similarly as mentioned above - 1 to 2/10 times the bootloader is unable to mount/access sd card. While the 8GB sd cards have not displayed any such issue - tried around 250+ times. I've also tried with 32GB sd cards, was not able to replicate the issue - works flawless. Only the 4GB ones seem to replicate the same. I've not tried with the lower memory sd cards than 4GB.
Do you feel the higher SPI speeds might be an issue here for randomness in 4GB cards behaviour? Do share your thoughts and other possibilities.

Regards,
Gautam
