I am using FreeRTOS v 10.1.0 , in addition I have downloaded FreeRTOS+FAT from the labs area (160919 release)
I am using an Altera Cyclone V evaluation board and have succesfully ran FreeRTOS projects on the board using the Demo project and the available port for my board as the basis for my own applications.
I have also succesfully mounted a partion on my SD Card and read files from the SD Card and also written files to the SD Card.
My problems begin when I try to read a file bigger than 2K. I am using the following ff_fread command to read from a file I have previous opened and I know to be 5777 bytes long:
ff_fread( &byteBuffer[0],1,5777, pxSourceFile );
What I find is the byte buffer is repetedly populated with the same 2048 bytes, up to the maximum of 5777 bytes. So byteBuffer[0] to byteBuffer[2047] are what I expect but then this data is repeated.
I have also tried to read the data in 512 byte chunks and also in 2048 byte chunks in case the issue was related to a sector boundary (512 byte sector) or a cluster boundary (4 sectors per cluster).
My suspicion is that the issue is in FreeRTOS + Fat as opposed to the Altera code for interfacing with the SD Card. This is becasue when I put a break point in the following function I see that the FreeRTOS+Fat api does actually seem to jump back to the first sector after it has successfully read 4 sectors of data. So it would seem that the Altera Api is returning the data requested by FreeRTOS + FAT.
static int32_t prvReadSd( uint8_t *pucDestination,
uint32_t ulSectorNumber,
uint32_t ulSectorCount,
FF_Disk_t *pxDisk )
{
int32_t errorCode = alt_sdmmc_read(pucDestination,
ulSectorNumber * 512,
ulSectorCount * 512);
return errorCode
}
Any insights anyone can offer into the issues I am having will be greatly appreciated.
