Performance test procedure

  • Initialize the Card for testing:
    - Format the Card
    - Open the file "Test.txt"
    - Prewrite 4MB of file data with 0x55
    - Close and Delete the file
  • Write performance test:
    - Open the file "Test.txt"
      Start the measurement timer
    - Write 4MB of data in 4KB blocks
      Stop the measurement timer
    - Close the file
  • Read performance test:
    - Open the file "Test.txt"
      Start the measurement timer
    - Read 4MB of data in 4KB blocks
      Stop the measurement timer
    - Close the file
  • Test validity check:
    - Open the file "Test.txt"
    - Verify 4MB of data in 4KB blocks
    - Close and Delete the file

Note

  • SD Cards: SanDisk Extreme III (1GB) and Kingston (1GB) were used for testing.
