Embedded - SD card - SPI - C -Codevision AVR - Creating and writing a file in an SD card

3.7k views Asked by At

I have an SD card (or SDHC card) connected to a microcontroller via SPI mode. I am using Chan’s FAT library. In this I used CodevisionAVR v2.05.3 example code from help. By using this I read a text document and opened the file using open existing.

However, when I created a new file or tried to write, I couldn't open the file (do f_open). Giving error ERROR: FR_INVALID_OBJECT.

How can I clear this issue?

And my code is:

From the documentation:

FR_INVALID_OBJECT

The file/directory object structure is invalid or a null pointer is given. All open objects of the logical drive are invalidated by the volume mount process.

Your file pointer is perhaps null?

Also to consider is that you have configured the library to actually support write operations. In ffconf.h you should have:

#define _FS_READONLY    0
