Example description

This example provides a short description of how to make a communication (Write & Read data) between the SPI and a MicroSD memory card like the one present on the STM8/128-EVAL evaluation board.

First, Fill the Tx_Buffer with data to be written into the MicroSD memory followed by a read of that data. Then data read from the MicroSD memory stored in the Rx_Buffer are compared with the expected values of the Tx_Buffer. The result of this comparison is stored in the "TransferStatus" variable.

Hardware and Software environment

• This example runs on STM8S and STM8A High density, Medium density and Low density devices.

• This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM8/128-EVAL evaluation board and can be easily tailored to any other development board.

• STM8/128-EVAL Set-up
  • LED1..LED4
  • Plug a MicroSD memory card into the dedicated connector (CN9).

How to use it ?

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :

• Copy all source files from this example folder to the template folder under Project
• Open your preferred toolchain
• Add the required file:
  • stm8s_eval_spi_sd.c (under Utilities)
• Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
• Run the example
• If the communication is held without errors, the four LEDs toggle. Otherwise only the LED1 toggles.

Note:

• High-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF52xx STM8AF6269/8x/Ax, STM8AF51xx, and STM8AF6169/7x/8x/9x/Ax microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes
• Medium-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF622x/4x, STM8AF6266/68, STM8AF612x/4x, and STM8AF6166/68 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 8 to 32 Kbytes
• High-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S207xx, STM8S007 and STM8S208xx microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes.
• Medium-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S105x and STM8S005 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 to 32-Kbytes.
• Low-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S103xx, STM8S003 and STM8S903xx microcontrollers where the Flash density is 8 Kbytes.
