[BUG] LCD freezes/very sluggish after upgrade if SD card is left in the mainboard (continues #24301)

[ucirello]

Did you test the latest bugfix-2.1.x code?

Yes, and the problem still exists.

Bug Description

With 3e9fb34 still, the LCD freezes, or at least gets very sluggish.

It worked fine with 2.0.9.3.

Bug Timeline

Since 15b6159 it is broken. 3e9fb34 did not fix.

Expected behavior

I expected the LCD to render quickly and be able to navigate through all menus. Turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise would immediately change feed rate.

Actual behavior

Depending on the boot sequence it will either freeze completely, or be very sluggish.

The info screen renders in more than 15s per half.

The wheel button seems to not be able to open the main menu.

Turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise would immediately change feed rate affects the feed rate, but it takes a long time for the number to update.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Compile bugfix-2.1 (3e9fb34) with the given configuration files.
2. Use a LPC1769 board (tested with MKS sgenl v2) with a RepRap Full Graphical Display and flash the firmware.
3. LCD freezes.

Interestingly, this is the opposite that I'm having happen on my SKR1.3 board in #24293

If an SD card is not inserted (and power loss recovery is set to on) at boot, the machine gets into this same state.

[ucirello]

I think part of the problem is now that there are two SD slots. One in the mainboard, and another in the display. This behavior only happens when the SD is in the mainboard's slot. I didn't try in the LCD slots to see what happens.

[ne0nex]

Interesting. My display doesn't have an SD slot. I only have the on-board.

I have the same issue. I actually thought I fried my board last night when I upgraded to 2.1. I installed an inductive probe and accidentally sent 24v through my z endstop pin on my SKR E3 Turbo. I downgraded to 2.0.9.3 and the screen works just fine now.

I had a similar issue with my SKR 1.4 Turbo but it also prevented Octoprint from communicating in a timely fashion with 2.1. I disabled SD support and that build works fine.

Exactly same issue with MKS Robin (KP3S)

Would work fine if boot without SD Card in.

I cannot replicate this on a btt skr 1.3 with ucirello configs (with motherboard updated)
or on a btt skr 1.4 turbo with ucirello configs (with motherboard updated)
Using current Marlin bugfix 2.1.x

Tried all 4 physical combinations of sdcard and powered on.

onboard    | in LCD  | status
--------------------------------
empty      | empty   | no issues
empty      | sdcard  | no issues
sdcard     | empty   | no issues
sdcard     | sdcard  | no issues

I am not on the Marlin Bugfix 2.1.x. I am on Release 2.1

[ellensp]

@Doubledeucedavis Release (2.1.zip) is a snapshot in time. It generally does not get updated after it is made.
It does not have patch #24302 installed

You need to use either Marlin 2.1.x https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/refs/heads/2.1.x.zip
or bugfix 2.1.x https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/refs/heads/bugfix-2.1.x.zip
or apply the patch yourself to the release code

Played some more...

On a skr 1.4 with a RepRap Full Graphical Display, If I put a empty Micro SDCARD TO SDCARD adapter into the lcd sdcard slot this will make it fail.
Ie the card detect IO line says there is SD card inserted, but it is unreadable (in this case because it is not present)

The 128x64 screen does (eventually) say "Media Init Fail" and the serial log shows "echo: No SD card" over and over, and the display is all slow.

@willngton I do notice that your display also says "Media Init Fail"

@ucirello Can you give your display enough time to fully render and check if you also have a "Media Init Fail" message?

So perhaps this issue is that Marlin is not failing gracefully when the sdcard will not mount but is detected as present.

I have the same issue on Kingroon KP3 (original MKS Robin mini board).

I compared source tree between build 2.0.9.3 and 2.1.0.0 and found \Marlin-bugfix-2.1.x\Marlin\src\HAL\STM32\sdio.cpp was changed to use CMSIS library.
Then I tried to roll back this file to 2.0.9.3 in 2.1.0.0 source and confirmed this issue was gone with old source code to use old STM32 library.
So I think sdio.cpp may be incomplete for STM32F1 board support, if moving it to use CMSIS library.
Thanks.

@mametaro999 that could certainly trigger the error im seeing on stm32, but not on lpc1768
