Reading an SD card with an ATMEGA1. In this small week end project, I will connect a SD card to an ATMEGA1. The SD card pin out. The SD card can be talked to with three different transfer modes 1 bit SD mode, 4 bit SD mode and SPI mode. According to Wikipedia, all cards must support all three modes except for micro SD where the SPI mode is optional. I will nonetheless try to read my micro SD with the SPI mode. Edit Correct pinout table added thanks to John Ulyates commentConnecting the card to a circuit. I found a circuit example on the following page http www. The MCU is a 5. V powered ATMEGA1. The SD card is powered through a 3. V regulator. The author used resistor dividers to connect the SD card inputs to the ATMEGA1. SPI pins. I bought the same regulator and thought, why not instead try to power the ATMEGA1. V thus avoiding the need for a voltage adaptation. The ATMEGA1. 68 datasheet tells me that at 3. V the maximum safe frequency is 1. MHz so I can keep my current crystal. I improvised an interface for a micro SD with a SD card adapter and a 7 pins header. I used some thin wire to avoid stressing the SD Card pads and added some hot glue to have a stronger header connector. Here is the schematic of my version of the circuit and a picture of the resulting breadboard Understanding the SPI interface. SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface. This interface allows high speed synchronous transfers between a MCU and a peripheral or another MCU. The ATMEGA1. 68 datasheet contains the following figure that highlights the powerful simplicity of this interface Each side of the interface has a 8 bit shift register. The left side is the master and the right side is the slave. When the master initiates a transfer to the slave, its SPI clock signal triggers a bit by bit copy of each register to the other one. Sending a byte from the master always involves receiving a byte from the slave.

For the ATMEGA1. 68 the maximum speed is Fclk2. So with a 1. 6 MHz crystal, the maximum theoretical bandwidth is 8. Mbits, or 1. MBytes. A regular card should support a clock of 2. MHz. Here is some code adapted from the ATMEGA1. SPI interface and do a transfer. A single function is enough to send or receive a byte or both.

Atmega 128 Uart' title='Atmega 128 Uart' />Because this is a week end project, I changed gears and switched to an open source library to do the job. Roland Riegel has implemented a sd reader library for the ATMEGA8 family. Its FAT1. 6 implementation can fit in an ATMEGA1. FAT3. 2 one requires the ROM size of an ATMEGA3. You can download the latest source code on this page http www. No modifications are needed for the ATMEGA1. I just modified the configuration of the programmer to use an avrispmkii.

You can check in Disk Utility that the SD card has been correctly formatted with a FAT1. K7 Total Security 2013 Offline Update File. Testing the library. My first tries with the write command failed inexpectedly. I was able to create a directory, touch a file, but unable to write data in it. At the same time I stumbled on the Open. Log board from Sparkfun that is based on the very same library. By comparing the implementation with the reference one, I found the explanation for my failing write. The sd reader library expects a pin telling if the lock switch of a card is enabled. I dont provide this facility and have to bypass it. To do so I patched the library with the modifications from the Open. Log firmware product page in sdrawconfig. From Sparkfun Open.

Trashes 4. Trashes 0. Spotlight V1. 00 0. My patches to the sd reader library are available at the end of the post. A drawback the required code size. After having understand how the SPI interface is working and how to dialog with an MMC card, I can see myself using the sd reader library in a future project. One drawback of the library is the size of code required to implement the FAT1. ATMEGA1. 68 without a flash loader. RAM usage. MMCSD2. Partition. 45. 61. FAT1. 67. 92. 81. You also need half the size of the ATMEGA1. RAM for the MMC layer to be able to load blocks in memory. If you need to save on flash space, an alternative is to only use raw accesses to the SD card blocks. The SD card can then be saw as a giant EEPROM where you readwrite pages. The trade off is that you will not be able to plug the card in a PC and expect to be able to read its content in the explorerfinder. It could only be read with commands issued through the MCU with a serial link for example. For a serious application requiring FAT1. MCU and PC, I would recommend to directly start a project with at least an ATMEGA3. NOKIA 3. 31. 0 LCD interfacing with ATmega. Crosby Stills Nash Daylight Again Download Games there. Hi friends,using graphic LCD in a project gives itreally a good look and flexibility of displaying different characters and shapes. But, the graphic LCDs are quite costly. The NOKIA 3. 31. 0 LCD provides a really low cost solution to add a small graphic display into your project and also good for learning purpose. The LCD is SPI bus compatible, saving many pins for other uses. It operates at 3. Here is a small circuit for interfacing the 3. LCD with AVR microcontroller ATmega. The schematic includes LCD connection with SPI port of ATmega. LCD. The 3. 3v is generated using adjustable voltage regulator LM3. I was not having any 3. An LED is also connected with microcontroller just for making sure that the controller is working, particularly when you dont see anything on the displayHere is the schematic and the pin details of the LCD click on the image to enlarge it The connector of LCD is touch type. So, I made a small connecor PCB with tracks touching to the pins of LCD. The pcb was pasted at backside of LCD using cello tapes as shown in the back view image. Here is a testing with Proteus ISIS Simulation The program routines are written in C with ICCAVR compiler. Ive created a library for this display. The low cost, easy availability has made me relly like this display. Im going to use it for doing other stuffs, too Download 3. Library ICCAVR3. Library AVR GCC, win. AVR, AVRStudio3. Code.
