hi,

concerning this experimenter board, i want to know if the spi and fat16 interface is already set up for the use of the sdcard.  So i will use the MSP430 to write on the sd card. i read the datasheet of the board but i didn't read nothing concerning this subject

thanks,

    FAT16 is a plain software issue and therefore not set up in teh hardware of an experimentes board. Same for the SD card access. The socket is there, but the software has to address the card. There is no OS installed that loads and executes your code. Teh code you compile and upload is all the processor has for doing its work, so you'll have to include it into your project if you want to use it.

    If you're asking if the demo code contains the required functions, then I don't know, but you should be able to locate them if they are present.

    Hi Cedric,

    The User Experience code for the MSP-EXP430F5529 includes code that reads and writes to the SD card: http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPEXP430F5529UE/latest/index_FDS.html See also the MSP-EXP430F5529 User's Guide section 2.7 which discusses the SD card demo included in the User Experience application.

     There is some HAL layer code and FatFs file system code in that project that you could likely re-use to create your own project if you wish.

    Regards,

    Katie
