I trying to run the EFFS-BASIC sample program on a NANO54415. I'm using v2.6.7 of NBEclipse. I have a 1Gb microSD chip plugged into the microSD socket.

The first library call fails:

rv = f_getfreespace( EXT_FLASH_DRV_NUM, &space );

with error F_ERR_TASKNOTFOUND.

I have no idea what that means.

So, the first time through the program, it works. When I move the start of the while loop in usermain() from just spinning on a 1-second delay to the just before DisplayEffsSpaceStats(), so that it repeatedly runs through the SD card test once a second, it fails. Is that because I have to call f_enterFS() (which the comments say call once) and/or InitExtFlash() again with each loop?

Does the unmodified example work correctly?

umm... you only need to call f_enterFS() once. However, you must do this AFTER the last call to OSChangePrio in the task. Also, there is a maximum number of tasks that can be registered at a time (I believe that the default is 5 or 10). InitExtFlash() should also only be called once.

If you're still having the issue, would you mind posting your relevant startup code?

If you simply moved the "do while()" to before "DisplayEffsSpaceStats()" in the "EFFS-BASIC" example program, then it should behave just as you said: on the first loop, it runs DisplayEffsSpaceStats(), and that works; it then unmounts the file drive with "UnmountExtFlash();" and closes the file system with "fs_close();". On the next time through the loop, there is no drive or file system to process and so you get the error.

Try copying "DisplayEffsSpaceStats();" and "DumpDir();" into the loop just before the OSTimeDly(...) line. That way the file system stays open.
