Unreadable SD card

[valera39]

Hello Dear Wolle!
I had the same error again as I wrote earlier. Suddenly the radio froze and after a forced reboot the memory card suddenly stopped reading, the files on it became like this

[valera39]

I formatted the card again and copied the files from the archive and the radio booted again.
Why is this happening?

And here's the same problem again:

Changing the card didn't help
Lowering the frequency didn't help either
Returned to the default speed value.

Did a full cleanup, after active use and several reboots so far the card is readable
What does this error mean?

My head's not thinking straight anymore, so I'm going to bed.

[schreibfaul1]

Ooh, read error from the SD card. This usually has a mechanical cause. Perhaps it is a contact problem or a bad solder joint.

[skassel2024]

Hello valera39,
I also had the problem with the SD card at the beginning. See my answer in
issue #538. At that time, one of the three diodes was defective, so that the voltage to TFT was below 3V. It is also better to bridge the three resistors on the display to the SD socket.

[valera39]

skassel2024
Thanks for the advice, but I think my power supply and contacts are fine. I can not understand why there is periodic overwriting of files in unreadable format (see my first post in the thread). This has never happened before and does not happen now on other radios I have built, but on earlier firmware versions.

[schreibfaul1]

@valera39
this is most likely a mechanical problem, sdmmc_send_cmd returned 0x109 means CRC error.
Or your SD card does not manage 80MHz, then you can lower the frequency.

[valera39]

The card may have started to fail even though it's fairly new. I tried different frequencies and left it at default. I put in another card and so far everything is working
I'll be watching, thanks!
