SD card problem about pico-zxspectrum

[fruit-bat]

It's in here:

https://github.com/fruit-bat/pico-zxspectrum/blob/fb15a62fc2892ce83fe78799c208c01dc746f891/src/picomputer/CMakeLists.txt

SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_CS=13
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_SCK=10
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_MOSI=11
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_MISO=12

(I need to document all of the pinouts... At the start of this project I only expected there to be one!)

[sergbrest]

I connected the card according to the pinout above.
On firmware ZxSpectrumPicomputerVga1111Zx.uf2 there is no access to the card.
There are no pulses on the SPI bus.

On firmware ZxSpectrumPicomputerVgaZx.uf2 there is an appeal. The signals are coming. But Piko does not see the memory card.

I wanted to connect to the debug port. But the port is also assigned to the vga pin.
I want to ask you to assemble the finished firmware for my case.
Vga1111
SD_Card
USB_keyboard
Audio Pin
AY-3-8912 A,B & C channels.

Yes, those configurations are to match the various Picomputers. I will do you a target that is better for bread-boarding. Bear with me!

[fruit-bat]

I will still look at a separate target for you, but I have just tried the VGA 1111 build and it is reading from my SD card; so I don't think it's a bug in the software.

Could be SD card compatibility... I'm not sure all of them still support SPI mode. Maybe try a different card if you have one lying about.

Oh, and those number are GPIO numbers not PIN numbers as the name may lead you to believe.

I tried 3 different cards. Does not work.
And with the assembly of VGA 1111 the LED on the PICO board does not blink

.

Here is my connection to the card.

What am I doing wrong?

The LED does not blink when accessing the SD card.

Wiring looks the same as mine... but I don't have a driver chip... are you powering the SD board with 3.3v or 5v (I am assuming you are powering it as the led is on)? Is the SD board driving the IO lines at 3.3v or 5v? Do you have link to the spec of the SD card breakout?

[fruit-bat]

Most of the new builds do not flash the led on the pico, since changing to the Pimoroni library.

Sd card

The card is powered by 3.3 volts. Constantly.

memory card for 8 and 16 gigabytes. Maybe I need to find a 2 gigabyte card?
Maybe the card should be formatted for a certain cluster size?

I'll try another card module without a driver.

[fruit-bat]

Try disconnecting the card-detect line.

[sergbrest]

disconnected, did not help

[fruit-bat]

Might be the card. I have just tried a 32gb Samsung card and it does not work. I have a bunch of Transcend 2gb cards formatted as FAT16 and they are fine.

There is a new target for you here but you will have to move some of your wires about...

https://github.com/fruit-bat/pico-zxspectrum/blob/vga_target/uf2/ZxSpectrum4PinAudioVga1111Ps2.uf2

It's stuck on a branch (vga_target) for now as I am trying to reduce the amount of repeated code in the various main.cpp(s) which I seem to be accumulating.

Serial port is on GP0, GP1. There is some debug that should print out as the board starts up.

SD card is:
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_CS=5
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_SCK=2
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_MOSI=3
SDCARD_PIN_SPI0_MISO=4

Audio is:
BZR_PIN=21
AY8912_A_PIN=20
AY8912_B_PIN=26
AY8912_C_PIN=27

PS/2 keyboard GP6, GP7 for data and clock.

VGA BGRYS: GP12, GP13, GP14, GP15, GP16

Soldered a new circuit.
Unfortunately, the memory card did not work.

Wow, that was quick work. Maybe try a different SD card, it looks like the pico is trying to talk to the card.
