PSoC 5, 3 & 1 MCU

[timoc_264486]

I have Segger's emFile product running with FreeRTOS on a PSoC 5LP using a dedicate SPI master. I haven't implemented locks because the hardware is not shared and so per Segger locks are not needed.

Hardware layer really only requires two calls be implemented which I have done:

static int _HW_Read(U8 Unit, U8 * pData, int NumBytes)
{

    SD_Card_ClearRxBuffer();
   
    do
    {
        SD_Card_WriteTxData(0xff);              // Write dummy data to clock the SPI slave
       
        while (SD_Card_GetRxBufferSize() == 0); // Wait until receive FIFO is not empty
       
        *pData++ = SD_Card_ReadRxData();          // Read data from buffer
    }
    while (--NumBytes);
 
    return 0;
}

static int _HW_Write(U8 Unit, const U8 * pData, int NumBytes) {
    FS_USE_PARA(Unit);

    int i;
   
    for (i = 0; i < NumBytes; i++)
    {
        {
            SD_Card_WriteTxData((uint8)pData);
        }
    }

    CyDelay(1);
  return 0;
}

This works OK (but slow) if I include the 1ms delay in the write call. If I remove the delay I get read and/or write error depending upon what commend is executed next. I have tried nearly every type of status check in the write, TX_FIFO_DONE (also or'd with SPI_IDLE), SPI_DONE and just about anything I can think of. BTW - the SPIM is configured to 400KHz internal clock with just the 4 byte FIFO. I have also tried larger read and write buffers to no avail.

Any help, even guesses would be appreciated.

Are you using the emfile component provided with PSoC5LP? If possible please share the Creator project.

Hi, thanks for the response. And no, this is not the emFile licensed to Cypress. This is the real product purchased from Segger so unfortunately I cannot post the project.

You can find more information in the section "6.5.8.1.8 (*pfWrite)()" of the emFile manual.

I think the implementation of Card write expects delay as depicted in this example by Segger:

Example

static void _Write(U8 Unit, const U8 * pData, int NumBytes) {

int i;

U8 Mask;

U8 Data;

for (i = 0; i < NumBytes; i++) {

Data = pData;

Mask = 0x80;

while (Mask) {

if (Data & Mask) {

SPI_SET_DATAOUT();

} else {

SPI_CLR_DATAOUT();

}

SPI_CLR_CLK();

SPI_DELAY();/////////////////////////

SPI_SET_CLK();

SPI_DELAY();//////////////////////////

Mask >>= 1;

}

}

SPI_SET_DATAOUT(); // Default state of data line is high.

}

Please contact Segger for the proper understanding at implementation for Card  write at these links:
