debugging - Diagnosing SD card failures



I have an embedded device using an SD card. Occasionally I see SD cards fail, and I need to understand the failure mode.


Are there tools, perhaps for specific manufacturers, that help me understand why the card is failing? Whether it's a memory problem, a controller problem, electrical problem, etc?


We are using Sandisk in general, and aren't concerned about data recovery, but we do need to maximize lifetime and reduce failure, so understanding the reasons cards are failing in our application is important.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
