Problems with CF card!
Hello PIC friends!
I have Compact Flash modul from Mikroelektronika connected to PIC 16F877 with 20MHz xtal.
I use 64 Mb Lexar's CF card. I want to read four bytes from the begining of boot sector
with following code but I get wrong data. The first three bytes should be $EB, $??, $90
or $E9, $??, $?? (BS_jmpBoot) - when I read card with card reader and Winhex I get
$EB, $3E, $90 but with my code I don't get this values. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Code:
define LOADER_USED 1
define OSC 20
define DEBUG_REG PORTC
define DEBUG_BIT 6
define DEBUG_BAUD 9600
define DEBUG_MODE 0
symbol CF_DATA = PORTD

Tom:
May be your card has a partition in Sector 0. If so, at the address $01C6 is a value of the sector where the Boot sector is.This value multiply by $0200, gives you the offset address where the "EB 90.." are located.
The PC and Winhex make this offset when you are reading the "logical " drive.
Greetings...

Still confused
Thanks for reply Ruben
but I still don't understand something.
you are talking about partition table which starts at 446. On offset 8 from 446 which is
$01C6 that you mentioned it should be value (4 bytes) of relative offset to partition
in sectors(LBA) but on that address I have four byte's value: 64 69 61 2E what is
2E 61 69 64 due to little endian system what is 778 135 908 decimal?!
Am I missing something?

Tom:
You know that the first byte in the sector 0 MUST be a $EB. OK ?.
Well... if you read the sector 0 ,address 0 and do not found the $EB
then you read the addresses $01C7 (high byte) and $01C6 (low byte).
If the value in those addresses is $0040 then you multiply that value by
$0200 = $8000. That is the absolute address where the Boot sector is located, (Sector $40, in that case.).
Then you can read in that sector , verify the byte 0 as the $EB and read
all needed parameters, keeping in mind that your card has a offset of
$8000 bytes.
I hope that helps...

It works!
It works!
My boot sector starts at LBA=32 because my card has 32 hidden sectors!
Well, I have first step on thousand miles trip!
Ruben, Thanks again for help!

Thank U.
Hello TOM,
I am also using the same setup, MikroElectronika EasyPIC3 Board and their CF adpater Module and I am looking for some help in reading and writing using PBP.
I would try your code on this board, but if there's a problem , can you help me.
Thank you in advance.

I'll receive EasyPIC4 in few days, if there's few problem i could also give a try.

Great,
Looking forward to that.
Wonder what's the difference between EasyPIC3 and EasyPIC4.
Overall nice product for a good price.
regards
