SD card init failed

[gwgittrash]

The Problem

I try to install the AI on the Edge Software on my ESP 32. Sadly I always have a problem with die ini-process of the SD Card, ends up in "SD card init failed. Check if SD card is properly inserted into SD card slot or try another card"
I tried 3 different SD Cards, all with 8GB. All formated as FAT32, one partition. I also checked to Note here:
https://jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/Installation/
And followed the discussion here: #2858
I tried manual installation of [16.0.0-RC5], [15.7.0] and [15.4.0] as also the automated installation of 15.7.0....
What can I do?

Version

15.7.0

Additional Info...
It is an ESP32-CAM developer board (Link)
I also tried it with and without connected camera...

[SybexX]

It looks like an external 10k pullup is missing. There should be five pullups, but only four can be seen in the pictures.

Hi and thank you for your support.
Flashing was successful but the error is still the same

[SybexX]

Do you have a wiring diagram for the board to see if the pinouts even match, I couldn't quickly find one online.

[gwgittrash]

No, I don't have a wiring diagram. But I made some better pictures for you. maybe that helps?

[SybexX]

It looks like the gpios are assigned differently, since I found several for the same board and I don't know which one is right, you have to contact the seller or find out by trying around^^

[gwgittrash]

I tried the version fron above, but still the same error. In the meandtime I asked the seller to provide a wiring diagram but I also found this thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/esp32-camera-ov5640/507409
Could that be helpful?

[gwgittrash]

Additional Information:
The chip is an ESP32-DOWDQ6-V3, here you will finde the datasheet:
https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/1243004/ESPRESSIF/ESP32-DOWDQ6-V3.html
Which pins are relevant? maybe I could find out more...

[gwgittrash]

Still no success.. Tried with three 8GB cards.. :(

[SybexX]

It's about these GPIOs, either something doesn't fit or because the IP5306 is connected to the two GPIOs.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/api-reference/error-codes.html

[SybexX]

After searching for a while, I found that the MMC mode on the ESP32 only works with the default GPIOs (GPIO_MATRIX only works on the ESP32-S3).

[gwgittrash]

I tried it and it seems like you are right (of course :-) )...
Both are not working, but with different reasons...

What does it mean now? Incompatible hardware?

[SybexX]

Exactly, this board is not suitable for this project^^

[gwgittrash]

Shit... but thank you very very much for you support.
I was very happy to find a model that consists of only one board (no additional cables). But then I'll probably have to keep looking or switch to an alternativ with a spread board...

[SybexX]

If the firmware is on the ESP32CAM_AITHINKER, it only needs 5 volts for operation.
I always take an old USB cable and solder it directly to it and for power I use an old cell phone charger.
