SD_MMC returned 0x107

Hi all,
i’m trying to use the sd_mmc to read sdcard (1bit mode && 4 bit mode) with esp32, i have my own board,
pint are connected as standard (like the esprover kit 4.1, but without diode), i have pullup (10k) on

  • SD_dat0 (io2),
  • sd_dat1 (io4),
  • sd_dat2 (io12),
  • sd_dat3 (io13),
  • sd_cmd (io15),
  • sd_clk (ioio14),
  • sd_cd (io34)

the code initalize pins:

pinMode(SD_CLK, PULLUP);   // 14
pinMode(SD_CMD, PULLUP);   // 15
pinMode(SD_CD, PULLUP);     // 32
pinMode(SD_DAT0, PULLUP);  // 2
pinMode(SD_DAT1, PULLUP);  // 4
pinMode(SD_DAT2, PULLUP);  // 12
pinMode(SD_DAT3, PULLUP);  // 13
pinMode(SD_POWER, OUTPUT); // 35

bool card_present = SD_MMC.begin("/sdcard", true);
if (!card_present)
{
    Serial.println("Card Mount Failed");
    return;
}

the error is:

E (859) sdmmc_common: sdmmc_init_ocr: send_op_cond (1) returned 0x107
[E][SD_MMC.cpp:97] begin(): Failed to initialize the card (263). Make sure SD card lines have pull-up resistors in place.

i read a lot on internet about this problem,
i not have wire, connector soldered directly to my board
set registry on esp32 to 3.3v (espefuse.py --port com7 set_flash_voltage 3.3V)
the pins use for sd-card are used only for sd-card, nothing more attached
put togheter io2+io2 (not functioning)
tried with 2 equals sd-card (16gb sdhc) formatted fat32 with partition of 512mb (noluck)
tried with another type (8gb) formatted fat32 with partition 512mb (no luck)
set SD_MMC.begin parameters for 1bit or 4bit
changed in SD_MCC.cpp
line 62 to -> host.max_freq_khz = SDMMC_FREQ_PROBING
upload is done with esp-prog, not need to set io2 to ground also when sdcard is inserted
to power the board not use usb

i have loosed many days to find solution
i not know what else try or what can be, no ideas at the moment

someone can try to point me in the right direction?
thanks

Well the problem description matches somehow Cant get a MicroSD card to work. (IDFGH-5170) · Issue #965 · espressif/esp-idf · GitHub.

Does it work within Arduino IDE? What is the complete minimal PlatformIO project to reproduce the problem (code + platformio.ini)?

Thank you for the reply

If you have harware pullups in place, why pullup the pin yourself? This will change the impendence based on the internal microcontroller pullup.

Also, issue Wrover Kit SD · Issue #1131 · espressif/arduino-esp32 · GitHub talks about settung up the SPI pins prior to the SD_MMC call. Maybe the helps?

As a further debugging step, one could set up an ESP-IDF project to see if there was an issue with the SDMMC driver functions (which are also used by arduino) which may have been fixed.

Hi,
i’ve removed the PULLUP lines, but nothing change,
i tried to set (as the talks) the spi pins, but not help
i tried also with esp-idf this is the log

i not know what else i can do

If it doesn’t work with the vanilla ESP-IDF drivers, I think it’s best to ask in Issues · espressif/esp-idf · GitHub describing your hardware, software and things you’ve attempted (1-bit/4-bit mode, pullups en/disable, lowering frequency, different microSD card, …).

i decided to look better the situation, and looked with logic analyzer…
as you can see dat0 is ever high, never change…
i must understand why, there aren’t shortcircuit on the board, i think problem is software, but the only things program do, is initialize pins and call sd_mmc.begin…

Maybe do a ‘sanity check’ and do some simple code that toggles each pin in turn several times… that’ll identify whether there’s a solder bridge, some other code that’s conflicting or confounding the issue, or even a fault with the chip. Once that’s eliminated, the hardware is innocent, and you can start pointing fingers at the software! :wink: :rofl:

Thanks,
i’ve done exactly this, the pins toggle correctly (with pin set as OUTPUT) if i not start the sdmmc.

just to update situation:
tried with another board (devkit 1) and external sd-card from arduino sketch, to test sd-mmc,
is functional but only with 1-bit mode, the 4-bit not functioning
my board with the same sketch non functioning with 1-bit and 4-bit
i think there are some electric problem, but i not understand, no short circuit, signal arrive to esp and sd-card, i have ordered some esd suppressor, maybe help

Finally i found & solved the problem.
I tried to connect another (different socket) and immediately was functional,
so i tried to change the sd-cad socket on the board, et voila’ all functioning,
i try 1bit mode and ok, on 4bit ‘E (211) sdmmc_sd: got corrupted data after increasing clock frequency’
but ok, at the moment not interesting me, 1bit is enough to continue write the firmware, after i look what can be.
