[SOLVED] Problem in Executing FSformat command in MDD Library of Microchip??

[xpress_embedo]

Just experimenting with Microchip Application Library for MDD File System SD Card..

I am using Proteus and PIC18F8722 Micro-Controller.

Created a file and write some text in that file..
all works properly without any problem.

But FSformat command is creating problem..

Here is my Main Code:-

#include "FSIO.h"

/************Configuration Bits*************/
#pragma config OSC=HSPLL
#pragma config FCMEN=OFF
#pragma config IESO=OFF
#pragma config PWRT=OFF
#pragma config WDT=OFF
#pragma config LVP=OFF
#pragma config XINST=OFF
/*******************************************/

/*************Pin Configuraion**************/
/*************For MMC Interface*************/
//	Chip Select is Connected to RB3_Pin
//	Clock is Connected to RC3_Pin
//	Serial Data Out is Connected to RC4_Pin
//	Serial Data In is Connected to RC5_Pin

//For Connection see HardwareProfile.h Header file
/*******************************************/

#define LED1 PORTDbits.RD0
#define LED2 PORTDbits.RD1
#define ON 1
#define OFF 0

#define ALLOW_FORMATS

void main()
{
	//FSFILE *MyFile;
	unsigned char text[] = "Hello!! This is Arun Sharma";
	unsigned char VolName[] = "ARUN";
	
	TRISD = 0x00;
	PORTD = 0x00;
	
	ADCON1 = 0x0F;	//All pins to Digital Input Output
	
	LED1 = ON;
	LED2 = OFF;
	
	//while (!MDD_MediaDetect());
	// Initialize the library
	//while (!FSInit());

	FSformat(0, 0x11223344, VolName);
	LED1 = OFF;
	LED2 = ON;
	
	/*//Set the data and time Values
	SetClockVars(2012, 12, 8, 10, 35, 5);
	
	//Create a New File Called ARUN.TXT	
	MyFile = FSfopenpgm("ARUN.TXT", "w+");
	
	//Write Message to File
	FSfwrite(text,1,27,MyFile);
	
	//Close the File
	FSfclose(MyFile);
	*/
	
	
	while(1);
}

The code which is commented out is working properly, but when i am trying to use format command it is not working.

MPLAB is giving error upon compilation

Error - could not find definition of symbol 'FSformat' in file 'Object - MDD File System-SD Card\My_Main.o'.

Please help

Can you upload My_Main.o file?

 

[xpress_embedo]

I had uploaded the contents if my_main.c

Do you want me to upload mymain.o
the output.
I think it will not be available.
As my project doesnt build successfully..

Will upload if it us there..

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

OK. I got it. You cannot use FSformat() like

 FSformat(0, 0x11223344, VolName);

The function prototype of FSFormat is like this

 int FSformat (char mode, long int serialNumber, char * volumeID);

So, you have to have a int variable like retVal and assign the FSFormat() function to it like

 retVal = FSformat (mode, serialNumber, volumeID);

I am confused, because in C language if some function returns some value.
Then it is not necessary to type what u are saying.

and the function which i used like

FSfwrite(text,1,27,MyFile);

//Close the File
FSfclose(MyFile);

also returns some value but i didn't store their value in any variable.

And i modified the code as u had told me..

But still same error occurs.
:-(

	FSfwrite(text,1,27,MyFile);
	
	//Close the File
	FSfclose(MyFile);
	*/
	
	
	while(1);
}

Its looks like that my program is not able to access the function definition of format command..


and i have used all directives like

#define ALLOW_FORMATS
#define ALLOW_DIRS
#define ALLOW_WRITES

So Confused why this happens..
Please help sir...

Most likely the problem is with your FSConfig.h file:

Reference: AN1045 Implementing File I/O Functions Using Microchip’s Memory Disk Drive File System Library, Section: Library Setup, Step 11. Page 9

There are several definitions in FSconfig.h
that can be used to disable option (functionality)
to save code space if these functions are not
required. To enable the functionality,
uncomment the option definition in the code.
The available options are shown in Table 9:

ALLOW_FORMATS

Enables card formatting function.
Note: Writes must be enabled to use directories

Ensure the following: ALLOW_FORMATS, ALLOW_WRITES and ALLOW_DIRS defines are uncommented in the FSconfig.h header file.

Defining the above in your main.c will have no effect as the compiler directives are processed in the FSIO.h header file before the precompiler reads the #define entries in main.c.

Thanks BigDog My Project Compiled Successfully.. you are right..

I Have to change the FsConfig.h file and un-comment the format directive..

Project Build Successfully..

Running Proteus now..
Taking too much time to complete format..
already 2 min with CPU load 100%

Any ways thanks alot..

Unfortunately, one of the many drawbacks of simulations.

I'm glad to hear the previous issue was solved.

Anyways some thing is better than noting..

Thanks BigDog you solve my problem..

Actually i was searching these directives in FSIO.c and FSIO.h while they are in FSconfig.h

Thank you so much
