On my Meowbit, it looks like reading a file (large file, sequential reading) from the SD card (SDIO) is pretty slow. I try to follow the implementation path between the std lib call readinto() (not sure where to find it...) to the low level calls (I guess ports/stm32/sdcard.c) to see if there is something that can be improved but I cannot understand where it goes.
Can somebody briefly points me to where is starts to where it ends ?
I'll post here my timings
Thanks
- Board: Meowbit
- MCU: STM32F401RET6
- Bus: SD Card reader connected on SDIO on hi-speed bus APB2.
- Specs: "The interface allows data transfer at up to 50 MHz/8bit mode" (a little bit more than half the max bus speed, 84Mhz)
- DMA: DMA can be used to send data to SDIO
