# Getting Started With The sd-driver
This is the mbed-os example for the SDBlockDevice (SDCard) block device driver.
See the [sd-driver](https://github.com/armmbed/sd-driver) repository for more information.
This guide reviews the steps to get the SDCard with FAT filesystem working on an mbed OS platform.
Please install [mbed CLI](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli#installing-mbed-cli).
## Hardware Requirements
This example can be used on an mbedos platform that:
- Has an on-board SDCard slot or,
- Is fitted with a [CI Test Shield](https://github.com/ARMmbed/ci-test-shield).
This document uses the K64F as an example. Simply change the relevant options (e.g. -m K64F) to be appropriate for your target.
## Create the Example Application
From the command-line, import the example:
```
mbed import mbed-os-example-sd-driver
```
You should see:
[mbed] Importing program "mbed-os-example-sd-driver" from "https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-sd-driver" at latest revision in the current branch
[mbed] Adding library "mbed-os" from "https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os" at rev #f4864dc6429e
Move into the newly created directory:
```
cd mbed-os-example-sd-driver
```
If the mbed-os library was not automatically added (see trace above), do the following to import mbed-os:
```
mbed new .
```
Add the sd-driver repository:
```
mbed add sd-driver
```
## Build the Example
Invoke `mbed compile`, and specify the name of your platform and your favorite toolchain (`GCC_ARM`, `ARM`, `IAR`). For example, for the GCC_ARM toolchain:
```
mbed compile -m K64F -t GCC_ARM
```
Your PC may take a few minutes to compile your code. At the end, you see the following result:

## <a name="insert-sdcard-into-k64f"></a> Insert SDCard into K64F
This example has been run on a K64F with the following pre-formatted microSDHC cards:
- Kingston 2GB mircoSDHC card.
- Kingston 8GB mircoSDHC card.
- SanDisk 16GB mircoSDHC ultra card.
If the card requires formatting then the following procedure is known to work:
- Insert microSD card into SD adapter in USB stick (or similar) so the microSD card can be insert into windows PC.
- Within file explorer, right click/Format on the USB drive.
- Select FAT32, 4096 cluster size, Quick Format.
- Format the drive.
The microSD card should then be ready for use in the K64F. Insert the formatted card
into the SDCard slot on the K64F PCB.
## <a name="run-the-example-binary-on-the-k64f"></a> Run the Example Binary on the K64F
Copy the binary from `<root_dir>/mbed-os-example-sd-driver/BUILD/K64F/GCC_ARM/main.bin` to the K64F:
1. Connect your mbed device to the computer over USB.
1. Copy the binary file to the mbed device.
1. Press the reset button to start the program.
1. Open the UART of the board in your favorite UART viewing program. For example, `screen /dev/ttyACM0`.
You see the following output:
After connecting a serial console and resetting the target, the following trace should be seen:
Welcome to the filesystem example.

## <a name="testing-with-an-sdcard-on-target-xyx"></a> Testing with an SDCard on Target XYZ
The standard way to test is with the mbed CI Test Shield plugged into the
target board. This pin mapping for this configuration is parameterised in
the `mbed_app.json` file.
The following is an example of the `mbed_app.json` file available in the repository:

Note the following things about the `mbed_app.json` file:
- The `mbed_app.json` file is used to define target specific symbols for the SPI pins connecting the SDCard slot to the target MCU:
- "SPI\_CS". This is the Chip Select line.
- "SPI\_MOSI". This is the Master Out Slave In data line.
- "SPI\_MISO". This is the Master In Slave Out data line.
- "SPI\_CLK". This is the serial Clock line.
- The default configuration defined in the "config" section is for the standard Arduino header pin mappings for the SPI bus.
The "config" section defines a dictionary mapping functional names to target board Arduino header pins:
- "SPI\_CS": "D10". This causes the MBED\_CONF\_APP\_SPI\_CS symbol to be defined in mbed\_config.h as D10, which is used in the filesystem test implementation.
D10 is defined in the target specific PinNames.h file.
- "SPI\_MOSI": "D11". This causes the MBED\_CONF\_APP\_SPI\_MOSI symbol to be defined in mbed\_config.h.
- "SPI\_MISO": "D12". This causes the MBED\_CONF\_APP\_SPI\_MISO symbol to be defined in mbed\_config.h.
- "SPI\_CLK": "D13". This causes the MBED\_CONF\_APP\_SPI\_CLK symbol to be defined in mbed\_config.h.
- The `"target_overrides"` section is used to override the "SPI\_xxx" symbols for specific target boards, which may have an SDCard slot, for example.
This is the case for the K64F, where the "SPI\_xxx" are mapped to the pin names for the on-board SDCard.
```
"K64F": {
"SPI_MOSI": "PTE3",
"SPI_MISO": "PTE1",
"SPI_CLK": "PTE2",
"SPI_CS": "PTE4"
}
```
- Thus, in the absence of any target specific definitions in the `"target_overrides"` section, all boards will default to
using the Arduino header configuration. For those platforms with a `"target_overrides"` section then this configuration
will be used in preference.
- Hence in the case that you want to test a platform with an SDCard inserted into a
fitted CI test shield (rather than the on-board SDCard slot)
and there is a `"target_overrides"` section present in the `mbed_app.json` file, you must then delete the `"target_overrides"`
section before building. This will result in the default configuration being used (suitable for the CI
Test Shield).
- Note when inserting the v1.0.0 CI Test Shield into the Arduino header of the target platform, the shield pins D0 and
D1 should be bent to be parallel to the shield PCB so they are not inserted into the Arduino header. This is because
some boards use the same UART on DAPLINK and D0/D1, which means the serial debug channel breaks and hence the mbed greentea
test suite will not work correctly. This is mainly on older ST boards and should not be a problem on
`K64F`, `NUCLEO_F429ZI` and `UBLOX_EVK_ODIN_W2`. Note also that the v2.0.0 CI Test Shield doesn't suffer from this
problem and the pins don't need to be bent.
- When inserting the SDCard into the card slot on the CI test shield, make sure the card is fully inserted.
On insertion, there should be a small clicking sound when the card registers, and the back edge of the card
should protrude no more than ~1mm over the edge of the CI test shield PCB. If the SDCard fails to register,
try gently pushing the metal flexible strip in the shape of a spade at the top edge of the SDCard metal slot
casing with a pair of tweezers, bending it a little to lower it into the slot casing. This helps with the
insertion mechanism.
## Target K64F with CI Test Shield fitted
**Figure 1. The figure shows the K64F platform with the CI shield fitted.**
The above figure shows the K64F with the v1.0.0 CI test shield fitted. Note:
- The pins D0/D1 (top right of CI test shield) are bent sideways so as not to insert into the header.
- The SDCard is fully inserted into the slot and overhangs the PCB by ~1mm.
# Troubleshooting
1. Make sure `mbed-cli` is working correctly and its version is newer than `1.0.0`.
```
mbed --version
```
If not, update it:
```
pip install mbed-cli --upgrade
```
