Interesting SD Sample Code Error

[bfreyberg]

An interesting error with the CubeSatKit\Example\MSP430\MSP430x1xx\CubeSatKit_Dev_Board\SD test.

Periodically, a new line will overwrite a previous entry. The only discernable pattern is that the overwrite is always on a line exactly 10 iterations previous. It normally happens on an order of every 100 iterations. This is on an msp430f1611.
Example below:

In a debugging effort I modified the bulk of task_sd_append.c to make sure the buffer doesn't overrun, file is properly closed, the file seeks to the end, and that the file position is always greater than the last appendage (I put breakpoints on these, but they're never triggered.) I've tried effs_thin 1-3.

Code: Select all

    // Attempt to open the file, in append mode.
    file = f_open(STR_FILE_NAME, "a+");
   
   
    // If successful, append a new line to the file and report to user.
    if (file) {
     f_seek ( file , 0 , SEEK_END );
      file_pos_old = file_pos;
      file_pos = f_tell(file);
      if(file_pos < file_pos_old)
        _NOP();

      // Place banner at start of each new run.
      if (count_appends == 0)
        sprintf(strTmp, STR_CRLF STR_APP_NAME STR_CRLF STR_VERSION STR_CRLF STR_TO_APPEND, count_appends, OSGetTicks());
      // Always log counter and current ticks.
      else {
        sprintf(strTmp, STR_TO_APPEND, count_appends, OSGetTicks());
      }
      if (length = f_write(strTmp, 1, strlen(strTmp), file)) {
        sprintf(strTmp, STR_TASK_SD_APPEND "Appended %d bytes to " STR_FILE_NAME ".", length);
        if(length != 0x34)
          _NOP();
        //user_debug_msg(strTmp);
        count_appends++;
      }
      else {
        errors++;
        sprintf(strTmp,"error");
        //user_debug_msg(STR_TASK_SD_APPEND "f_write failed to write to " STR_FILE_NAME ".");
      }
      f_close(file);
    }
    // O/wise flag as an error.
    else {
            errors++;
     // user_debug_msg(STR_TASK_SD_APPEND "Cannot open " STR_FILE_NAME ".");
    }

Anyone with idea's or suggestions?

Interesting indeed ...

Now that EFFS-THIN is also available for the PIC24 and dsPIC33 platforms inside of the CubeSat Kit, I will do a long-term test across the three platforms (them and MSP430) to see if the problem is MSP430-specific, or endemic to all three.

My initial feel is that it is tied to the MSP430, as I have been running SD\SD1 for days on the dsPIC33 and I see no anomalous behavior ...

[aek]

Well, it's clearly still happening ... below is the code coming out of a CSK /dsPIC33:

I will look into this ASAP.

I provided test code and results to hcc-embedded, and they confirmed it is a bug in EFFS-THIN. I received the repair files from hcc-embedded, and now all three CSK distributions that support EFFS-THIN (/MSP430, /PIC24 and /dsPIC33) have updated releases that fix this problem, e.g.

New releases of the CubeSat Kit EFFS-THIN software have been posted online -- they incorporate the fixes that hcc-embedded added to v1.92 to address this issue ... all users should upgrade to this version.

[linkinpark32123]

I have a question regarding the sd sample code online. I am using

int hour, min, sec in my main.c code and extend them so that other code can use them.

i make a
#define STR_CLOCK "%02i:%02i:02i"

sprintf(strTmp, STR_CLOCK, hour, min, sec)

inside the body of the task_sd_append file from the sample code online. Every time i run the code it locks up. I was doing some research online and it was saying that if sprintf overflows its buffer it will lock up. I didnt change the strTmp[256] in int main from the original sample code, though i did try and increase to 512 to see if that would fix my problem.

if i change the code to so that only two variables are included:

#define STR_CLOCK "%02i:%02i"

sprintf(strTmp, STR_CLOCK, min, sec)

it will run and i see the clock changing. Also i tried to print the hours first then the min and sec separately. They each print when the other is commented out but if both are run together than it still locks up.

How can i fix this problem?

Dunno .. we print _much_longer strings without problems.

You shoud look at strTmp[] in the debugger and see what's happening -- you may be using a different strTmp than you think.

Also, sprintf() uses the stack to pass parameters ... if your stack is not big enough, this could also be a problem.

Make sure you're not using an incompatible optimizations (especially with Rowley ).
