Only the card change is detected but never any transfer or data led activity visible. Only my green power led is always lit. Tried every driver/boot version I could think of on my Amiga 1200 but the SD reader interface is very unreliable and never works as was expected. I also tried a 2GB fat and fat32 formatted original Sandisk microSD card same issue. No-dos disk. Boards were made by PCBway according to the v2b gerber files but all was a waste of time and money. Many other buyers/makers made this same comment. And the solutions given are always useless. After they gave up on this product! This interface in case of these hopeless issues should have many more presented diagnostic info to check on like scope diagrams or logic analyzer diagrams to fix a not working interface.

Luckily my CF adapter interface always works splendidly to transfer files between my PC and Amiga. Including a perfect working internal CF Windows boot 'hdd'.

Hi, I have built several v2 and Mini devices with PCBs from JLCPCB and they all work perfectly fine with the latest fw and driver:

https://github.com/jbilander/amiga-par-to-spi-adapter/

There is no problem with the hardware. It has been tested by many people by now with the above firmware and it works even on a wirewrap thingie.

There has been reports of some MicroSD-cards not working properly and problems on the A1000. https://github.com/niklasekstrom/amiga-par-to-spi-adapter/issues/8

And of course the usual thing with checking the CIAs with ATK and put pull-ups on the parallel-port control- and data-lines (required for some A3000 it seems)

"This interface in case of these hopeless issues should have many more presented diagnostic info to check on like scope diagrams or logic analyzer diagrams to fix a not working interface."

So why do you not make them? Remember this is an open source hobby project. Everything is there for anyone to dig in and help to improve it. Contribute nothing, expect nothing!

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

Yes I understand but sorry Jorgen. I already wasted over 2 weeks figuring out why it won't work invain.

I even questioned the Amiga 1200 parallel port being defect why I also build today a parallel loop port tester and found out that it was working 100% fine!

So nothing is defect only the still not working v2B mini sd card reader/writer must be defect or badly designed. Sadly I can't fix a problem that is made by others who obviously spended a lot of time to try to build such genious device that most of the time gives compatibility issues if it works!

So you need to do basic troubleshooting:

Does the CIA work correctly with ATK (Amiga Test Kit)
Is 5V-powering to the device looking good?
Is 3.3V generated correctly to the MicroSD-card holder VCC-pin?
Do you have activity on the MISO-line?
Do you have activity on the MOSI-line?
Do you have activity on the Parallel-port data and control lines? Pull-ups might be needed.
Is the latest firmware flashed to the ATMega328p with fuses correctly set?
Is the latest driver spisd.device put in the Devs folder on the Amiga?
Is the correct version of the SD0 Mount file used for your WB-version on the Amiga?
Is the latest fat95 driver copied to the Amiga?
Does the 16 MHz clock looks ok going to the ATMega input pin?
Do you have any solder bridges?
Are you using a known good MicroSD-card?
Does the device show the same error on another Amiga?
Is the MicroSD-card properly FAT/FAT32-formatted? etc, etc...

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

Thanks for your fast reply Jorgen. But I thought my SDbox 2.b interface was complete and didn't need any pullups or modification? What more do I also need to pullup because those smd 4R10K pullups were already on the miniSD reader board to accomplish that?

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

Understood. I have tried all software drivers and boot disks I could find. My Amiga 1200 also has an expansion board from manufacturer 8738 product 35. Kickstart v39.106, WB v40.42. 2Meg AGA 9.21 MFlops. But even when booted from DF0: without using the internal CF boot WB hdd it made no difference. My Amiga only once with a lot of read errors recognized the 2GB Sandisk but I could not use it. Now that micro SD card never works anymore! And I also tried other SD cards with a SD card to microSD card adapter but on those not even the card change worked!

And I am a very experience electronics devices maker especially when it is about soldering. So that never will be it! It maybe is the tiniest 16MHz 4 'pins' smd quartz tht I used that better should be a lager quartz? But it has worked before and those larger 5070 smd size crystals are ordered but not here yet.

There are too much uncertainties involved in the now different versions available which makes finding the problem even harder! Why I probably give up on this project, and keep using my Superb working multicard microSD to CF adapter for file transfering from PC to Amiga and vice-versa. That works with all Micro-SD card no matter what brand!

Best regards. Albert.

why? Just build the latest firmware and driver from source and use that. That is the one you want with V2/Mini, not any other older version or combination of versions.

If your MicroSD-card is fried you probably have exposed it to too high voltage by accident, above 3.3V. Perhaps you have a short somewhere but if you don't troubleshoot you will never find it. I have heard PCBWay sometimes even send out boards with shorts in them but I haven't used them myself so no personal experience with that. I always check the PCB with a multimeter before I even start to populate it with components.

If you already have a superior way of transferring files why even bother with the SDBox. Just continue using the superior way and stop wasting other peoples time complaining. It's a DIY-hobby project that is made for fun by tinkerers for tinkerers and the Amiga community. Bad attitude will not exactly put you first in the support line if you know what I mean. It's easy to complain and demand things from others but actually doing constructive work and contribute something yourself is way harder, isn't it? You know amigastore even sell SDBox-v2 units so the hardware/fw cannot be that bad, can it?, or are all the devices they sell not working? BTW, I have nothing to do with them selling units, nor do Niklas.

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

I know Jorgen. I used the newest drivers with the multilanguage FAT95 files on them. After which my SD0: CF drive was gone and disabled.

So more trouble here sadly. Why I placed the old FAT95 back and removed that Mini micro SD Box driver version. Its useless to try to fix something so unreliable.

Have a good weekend! Albert.

Nice videos Jorgen, why I decided to make this too, but sadly without any success.

Maybe I got bad or fake ATmega328p China microcontrollers and/or bad microSD cards because it just never worked! Now it is not even showing the mini SDBox icon on the WB screen anymore. Only the microSD switch detect works on all SD cards. And never did the red activity led ever light up! And it is correctly connected to the ATmega pin with its cathode with the resistor in serie. Its anode to Vcc. I also checked my PCB board and its copper tracks and all component connections from PCBway and couldn't find anything wrong whatsover!

If there in future is another firmware upgrade that also accepts all brand micro SD cards I will try it again. But for now I put this little project aside, including the other 4 still empty boards from PCBway China. This was simply no fun. Maybe I should also pullup all parallelport lines on my board like for A3000 Amiga users if that helps. But I'm not sure what pullups they already successfully did on the A3000.

The activity LED should work if you build from sources here: https://github.com/jbilander/amiga-par-to-spi-adapter

Niklas' code/release does not include code driving the activity LED. Anyway you should see activity on the MISO and MOSI lines and of course the parallel lines during MOUNT if you troubleshoot with a logic analyser or oscilloscope. I have already given you a list of what to start checking.

And sorry can't do anything with this info, since there is no driver FW =>

I've thrown this crap product aside after the miniSDbox continuesly failed to work. And after all this time of wasted testing also the micro-usb connector broke of the tiny copper layers for the third time. Which probably wouldn't have happened if it finally was working and safely ready build in the DB25 connector case.

Those that got lucky with building this Amiga miniSDBox reader must have been extremely fortunate or they could find the right firmware for it because I never had so much trouble with finding the right firmware or getting a device working before! And those people in the happy videos obviously got it ready tested including the properly working library files. Because to me and other buyers who also claimed their ready bought Amiga parallel port reader never worked it looks like this unfinished project was designed to fail.

And the many firmware changes you previously showed made clear that only the insiders know what it is all about. If I only knew WHAT bat file is the correct REALLY working version? Because all previous boot disks and version 2 files completely failed working!

Not all people are made for DIY. Perhaps in your next life. Who knows, you might even be talented enough to run a bat file to compile a driver. Let's hope for that.

All instructions are there, nothing is hidden, did you even look??? did you even try??? did you even check activity on the signals I told you to check??? Sorry to say but a DIY-project is not a thing for you if you need to be spoon-fed.

Yes of course I've already seen this but there is no help in how to start the on my desktop installed vbcc map? There are no icons either?

Writing the new Marlin firmware for my Ender 5 Pro 3D printer last year was very easy with Microsoft's Visual Studio because all files and clear instructions on how to do that made it plain and simple. And my 3D printer still works better as new after all hardware added upgrades. A most needed firmware upgrade that not even Creality provided for the Ender 5 Pro printer! And I'm sorry but here nothing is made that clear and easy. Why so many problems exist with this SD0: project and so many SD cards fail including the miniSDBox cardreader itself.

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

Hi Jörgen, Although I still have no clue how to use any of the files in VBCC I managed to use your Forked main.hex file that makes use of the red led. (by simply running main.bat in Windows first). And flashed main.hex with my TL866II into my mini SDbox board. Further sadly still no progress at all. The mini sd card reader writer still keeps saying that there is no dos disk in the reader every time I extract and put back in the sd card. So I still have no useful working reader but I probably can be sure that my board IS working fine. And the sd0: icon is also nowhere visible on the desktop either yet.

Isn't there anyone who wrote about how to use the VBCC with the Amiga SD card files in a way that it makes some sense and works? I know how to start vc.exe in the cmd popup screen but have no clue what to do with it next.

Albert.

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

PS: maybe the sd card pullup and pull downs being here 10K's are wrong. Because this Pololu micro SD arduino compatible breakout board uses ALL 100K's for pullup and pulldown resistors! See: https://www.pololu.com/product/2587

jbilander commented 1 year ago

It's 10-100kOhm for the CMD line and DAT lines. If DAT3 is used for card detection, that pull-up needs to be 10-90kOhm. CLK does not need a pullup.

The extended DAT lines (DAT1-DAT3) are input on power up. They start to operate as DAT lines after the SET_BUS_WIDTH command. It is the responsibility of the host designer to connect external pullup resistors to all data lines even if only DAT0 is to be used. Otherwise, non-expected high current consumption may occur due to the floating inputs of DAT1 & DAT2 (in case they are not used).

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

Yes, but did you also noticed the 100K pulldown resistor on the CLK input schmitt-trigger? It isn't there in the miniBox circuit. PS: Also tried if maybe the SD formatter from the SD Association would help. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/ Sadly made no difference.

jbilander commented 1 year ago

It's far fetched that pull-down makes any difference. According to the spec CLK should not have any pull-up or down resistors. It's more likely you'll need pull-ups on the parallel-lines, like this:

https://github.com/jbilander/sdbox/issues/18#issuecomment-1549666472

and of course you'll need the correct spisd.device in Devs: and the correct version of SD0-file for your WB-version together with the latest fat95 binary in L:, and the firmware flashed successfully to the AVR running at 16 MHz.

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

If Fat95 v3.18 was the latest I'm sure I did! I also used a special downloaded v2.2 SDbox boot disk that worked fine after clicking on the mount_Sdcard icon. But only resulted again in a No Dos message. And it also said SD0: already loaded but it never shows its icon. Only the Nodos disk message in a small popup window. Also the red activity led flashes twice when re-inserting the microSD card. So your forked main.hex was apparently flashed okay.

Alectronics commented 1 year ago

The SD extension library is entirely added into the Arduino IDE software and there were never reported such extreme compatibility issues. The Arduino IDE is likely correctly working with reading and writing to ALL original PC FAT/FAT32 SD cards without any read/write errors whatsoever. The existing SDbox SD card problem is therefore unacceptable! Really tried every card including 64GB Sandisk formatted as FAT16 and FAT32 at 512MB etc. getting only NO DOS errors. This is by no means workable fun ready firmware! Never worked! And leaving out any crc/parity data writing/reading checks is a bad idea too! If it even did work!

I used my TL866-II with your main.hex Jorgen. That may be an older version why it failed working? Do I need to use that FlashSDmini.bat file to get it working too? Because I didn't use my Arduino uno or whatever board to copy flash the file over into my minSDbox 328p processor. And maybe that is the only difference here? I however used the correct configuration fuses for the given main.hex and it verified fine! Also your forked red led routine worked afterwards. Only reading any SD card gave still only No Dos error messages.

So I am now waiting on my version 1 PCBway boards hoping that then that SDbox reader will work. Programming the Nano V3.0 version 1 module was no problem whatsoever and worked perfectly in Arduino using the mini USB connection to my PC.

Best regards.

And I always use the nicer AVRdudess so do not know if AVRdude works for me. Never successfully used AVRdude before. (I always flash my firmware upgrades into my RCT chiptester with a Pololu programmer v2.1 into an Arduino ATmega 2560 processor).

Anyway these instructions => Now time to build the new spisd.device driver, add +kick13 to the build.bat if default is set to build for AmigaOS 2.0... are completely unclear and no idea how to make the right file update with VBCC either!

I used my TL866-II with your main.hex Jorgen. That may be an older version why it failed working? Do I need to use that FlashSDmini.bat file to get it working too? Because I didn't use my Arduino uno or whatever board to copy flash the file over into my minSDbox 328p processor. And maybe that is the only difference here? I however used the correct configuration fuses for the given main.hex and it verified fine! Also your forked red led routine worked afterwards. Only reading any SD card gave still only No Dos error messages.

So I am now waiting on my version 1 PCBway boards hoping that then that SDbox reader will work.

Best regards.

Another SDBox-Mini built, works like a charm...

built and flashed the fw as before by running build.bat and then flashSDBoxMini.bat, no problem what so ever:
