I'm using the 0023 mpide and the included SD card lib. I have no issues reading the card info and listing the files. So the wiring seems to be fine. The issue i'm running into is writing to the card. It seems to lockup when attemping to open a file for writing. Any suggestions?

The card is 128MB card formated with fat16.

And the board is a MAX32.

So it's now to the point where it will open a file but dies at the "dataFile.println(dataString);" line in the example. Not sure what else to try on to get this working...

BTW, i'm using PIN 40 for CS.

Another site someone had a somewhat similar issue, the fix, make sure the file you are writing to is not 0k. So I just put the SD card in my laptop, added 1 line to the text file, moved it back to the MAX32, and now it works!!

Hello, Do you find another solution for write to the card since added 1 line before? I have the same problem and I didn't find a solution.

thanks

I am pretty sure this is fixed in the latest build. What version of the MPIDE are you using?

I was having a similar issue. I set chipselect to pin 4 (on SD shield, pin 4 = SDCS). As an output, I used pin 53 (same as Arduino Mega 2560). My jumpers were set as Master. However, it would not initialize the SD card. I was using mpide 0023 windows 20111221.

Please verify if the chipselect pin, output pin, jumper settings, and mpide version is correct.

Thank you.
