Unable to get logging to SD card working (Facet)

GPS/GNSS Development Boards

I have updated to the latest firmware, tried two SD cards (both 32GB, fat32), and never see any files created by the device.

Is there a way to test the SD slot is working and registering the SD card?

Thanks

Please open the system menu (https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_ … em_status/) and post your output here. A FAT32 formatted card should work fine and the system menu will report it as online. See attached image:

"SD init failed. Is card present? Formatted?

microSD card not online!"

This is the response I get. Tried two 32gb cards and one 16gb. Perhaps an issue with this unit?

All formatted FAT32

Thanks

Thats not possible (the unit was purchased in the USA but is now overseas). I’ll take it apart and see if it’s a soldering issue.

Thanks for your help

Excellent - glad to hear you’re comfortable opening it up. If there’s anything I can help with. Let me know.

I suspect the FPC cable between the display board (that contains the SD socket) and the main board may need re-seating. Go slow. The connectors are ‘back-flip’. A finger nail at the back of the connector should be all you need to release the FPC cable.
