SdFat: STM32L452 SPI2 port assignation not working

Hello,

I’m trying to connect my STM32L452 chip to an SD Card for logging purpose but it doesn’t seem to work using port assignation delivered by STM32duino. I tried using STM32Cube libraries and it’s working, so the problem is not on my PCB but really the SdFat and/or STM32duino and the way I’m initializing things.

I tried to use the code example in here which is shown bellow.

Another thing is I went to find STM32Test.ino and it is mentioned that there is a V2 of the example but I can’t find it.

I wonder if I missed something.

/*
  SD card test for stm32 and SdFat library
 
  This example shows how use the utility libraries
 
    SD card attached to the secondary SPI as follows:

        MOSI  = PC3;
        MISO  = PC2;
        SCK   = PB10;
