SDFat library doesn't work

[facchinm]

Describe the bug
SDFat examples (like QuickStart) compile but don't run

Target board + cli verbose compilation output
Full verbose compilation output, ideally with arduino-cli invocation or from IDE 2.3.3+

Using QuickStart example sketch and SDCARD shield on Giga

just posted this as well where I am seeing no output on the serial monitor but the error you are seeing sounds reasonble.

How to debug this issue:

• with UART connected -> we see the shell, type sketch, get
  [00:00:01.528,000] <err> llext: Failed to copy regions, ret -12 Failed to load sketch, rc -12
  • Reason: the sketch is too big to fit in LLEXT HEAP (the one that will be used when interacted via shell)
  • Solution: temporarily reduce CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE to 2048, increase CONFIG_LLEXT_HEAP_SIZE to 64
• next error:
  [00:00:03.332,000] <err> llext: Undefined symbol with no entry in symbol table isalpha, offset 13200, link 0 [00:00:03.343,000] <err> llext: Failed to link, ret -61 Failed to load sketch, rc -61
  • Reason: symbol not yet exported in llext_exports.c
  • Solution: add isaplha and isupper to that file

@mjs513 ouch, too fast 😄 Closing this one in favour of #4

Sorry - been at this for the last week or so :) But looks like you got the fix - thank you.
