Supported Targets ESP32 ESP32-C2 ESP32-C3 ESP32-C6 ESP32-H2 ESP32-P4 ESP32-S2 ESP32-S3

Storage performance benchmark example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

WARNING: This example will format both your SPI flash "storage" partition and SD card (if used)!

This example demonstrates a benchmark of a storage media such as SPI flash memory and SD card. Only ESP32 and ESP32-S3 targets can use SDMMC mode when connecting to a SD card.

Pin assignments for SD card connection

The GPIO pin numbers used to connect an SD card can be customized using the following:

  • Run idf.py menuconfig in the project directory and open "Performance Benchmark Example Configuration" menu.

However, pins cannot be customized when using ESP32 target in SDMMC mode (SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1).

This example doesn't utilize card detect (CD) and write protect (WP) signals from SD card slot.

The table below shows the default pin assignments.

SD card pin SPI pin ESP32 pin ESP32-S2 ESP32-S3 ESP32-H2 ESP32-C3 and other chips Notes
D0 MISO GPIO2 GPIO37 GPIO37 GPIO0 GPIO6 10k pullup
D1 - GPIO4 - GPIO38 - - not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line mode
D2 - GPIO12 (MTDI) - GPIO33 - - not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line mode
D3 CS GPIO13 (MTCK) GPIO34 GPIO34 GPIO1 GPIO1 not used in 1-line SD mode, but card's D3 pin must have a 10k pullup
CLK SCK GPIO14 (MTMS) GPIO36 GPIO36 GPIO4 GPIO5 10k pullup
CMD MOSI GPIO15 (MTDO) GPIO35 GPIO35 GPIO5 GPIO4 10k pullup

4-line and 1-line SD modes

By default, this example uses 4 line SD mode, utilizing 6 pins: CLK, CMD, D0 - D3. It is possible to use 1-line mode (CLK, CMD, D0) by changing "SD/MMC bus width" in the example configuration menu (see CONFIG_EXAMPLE_SDMMC_BUS_WIDTH_1).

Note that even if card's D3 line is not connected to the ESP chip, it still has to be pulled up, otherwise the card will go into SPI protocol mode.

Note about GPIO2 (ESP32 only)

GPIO2 pin is used as a bootstrapping pin, and should be low to enter UART download mode. One way to do this is to connect GPIO0 and GPIO2 using a jumper, and then the auto-reset circuit on most development boards will pull GPIO2 low along with GPIO0, when entering download mode.

  • Some boards have pulldown and/or LED on GPIO2. LED is usually ok, but pulldown will interfere with D0 signals and must be removed. Check the schematic of your development board for anything connected to GPIO2.

Note about GPIO12 (ESP32 only)

GPIO12 is used as a bootstrapping pin to select output voltage of an internal regulator which powers the flash chip (VDD_SDIO). This pin has an internal pulldown so if left unconnected it will read low at reset (selecting default 3.3V operation). When adding a pullup to this pin for SD card operation, consider the following:

  • For boards which don't use the internal regulator (VDD_SDIO) to power the flash, GPIO12 can be pulled high.
  • For boards which use 1.8V flash chip, GPIO12 needs to be pulled high at reset. This is fully compatible with SD card operation.
  • On boards which use the internal regulator and a 3.3V flash chip, GPIO12 must be low at reset. This is incompatible with SD card operation.
    • In most cases, external pullup can be omitted and an internal pullup can be enabled using a gpio_pullup_en(GPIO_NUM_12); call. Most SD cards work fine when an internal pullup on GPIO12 line is enabled. Note that if ESP32 experiences a power-on reset while the SD card is sending data, high level on GPIO12 can be latched into the bootstrapping register, and ESP32 will enter a boot loop until external reset with correct GPIO12 level is applied.
    • Another option is to burn the flash voltage selection efuses. This will permanently select 3.3V output voltage for the internal regulator, and GPIO12 will not be used as a bootstrapping pin. Then it is safe to connect a pullup resistor to GPIO12. This option is suggested for production use.

The following command can be used to program flash voltage selection efuses to 3.3V:

    components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py set_flash_voltage 3.3V

This command will burn the XPD_SDIO_TIEH, XPD_SDIO_FORCE, and XPD_SDIO_REG efuses. With all three burned to value 1, the internal VDD_SDIO flash voltage regulator is permanently enabled at 3.3V. See the technical reference manual for more details.

espefuse.py has a --do-not-confirm option if running from an automated flashing script.

See the document about pullup requirements for more details about pullup support and compatibility of modules and development boards.

How to use example

Configure

  1. Set the target chip: idf.py set-target TARGET (replace TARGET with ESP32 chip series name)

  2. Configure the example (idf.py menuconfig -> "Performance Benchmark Example Configuration") wheter you want to:

  • Test internal SPI flash

    • Raw access
    • FATFS
    • SPIFFS
  • Test SD card

    • Select SD card interface
      • SDSPI
      • SDMMC
    • SD card test configuration
      • Raw access
      • FATFS
      • Set SD card frequency
      • Set GPIO pins

Some configuration options may be available for ESP32 and ESP32-S3 only.

Build and flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor

(Replace PORT with serial port name.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Troubleshooting

Failure to download the example

Connecting........_____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to Espressif device: Invalid head of packet (0x34)

Disconnect the SD card D0/MISO line from GPIO2 and try uploading again. Read "Note about GPIO2" above.

Card fails to initialize with sdmmc_init_sd_scr: send_scr (1) returned 0x107 error

Check connections between the card and the ESP32. For example, if you have disconnected GPIO2 to work around the flashing issue, connect it back and reset the ESP32 (using a button on the development board, or by pressing Ctrl-T Ctrl-R in IDF Monitor).

Card fails to initialize with sdmmc_check_scr: send_scr returned 0xffffffff error

Connections between the card and the ESP32 are too long for the frequency used. Try using shorter connections, or try reducing the clock speed of SD interface.
