Hi Jamie,

have you tried without any partition table?

Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. I have a logomatic board and
have been trying get the code running but have run into an issue
initializing the SD card. I have tried formatting with FAT16 and 32 with
one partition 1GB or less, but the efs_init function is returning -1
because the SD interface is failing to initialize. Just wondering if
there is a special way the SD card has to be formatted?

Thanks,
Jamie

    Hi Jamie,

    the two serial ports are completely symmetrical and can both log
    xbee or paparazzi frames.

    The big issue with the current code is that the serial buffer only
    has teh standard 128 bytes size. The (micro) SD card can take up to
    400ms (200ms usually for a 2GB card) for internal processes. If more
    than 128 bytes are received in that time the buffer overruns and you
    lose data (think that was what Cedric saw some time ago).

    We need the serial port processing to be done in interrupt code and
    the SD card code to run in the normal while() loop to have it
    independently.

        The logger actually already logs both serial ports. The idea is
        to use
        port 1 to read the data from autopilot -> ground and the other
        port for
        logging the data from ground -> autopilot.

        There is even code to log an extra external analog sensor I believe.

        For now, the logger tries to decode paparazzi messages. So you
        either
        need to send your data using the paparazzi header and footer or
        need to
        change that bit of the logger code and do your own decoding.
        Obviously
        you will not be able to log the uplink telemetry anymore if you
        use one
        of the 2 serials for another purpose.

            Hello,

            I don't have much experience with embedded programming and
        have a
            general question about the logomatic code. After looking
        through it
            a little, I am not sure how much effort would be involved in
        using
            the logomatic board to log data from 2 UART simultaneously. One
            would be to log the paparazzi telemetry messages, and the
        other to
            log data from an independent onboard sensor (spectrometer).
        It looks
            like there is support for multiple UART interfaces, but I am not
            sure about running two at once. Would this require a lot of new
            development (once I understand the code)?

            Thanks,
            Jamie
