I'm not clear, reading this, if they use the standard SD-interface? If so, yes, it's non-trivial to interface to (as I previously mentioned, Dave and I wound up defining a uengine, and writing a uassembler to produce code for it, after Dave decided trying to do the init with a state machine was too much pain). > It is reasonably well documented in the SD standard, but still, it > takes a while to get all the code working. BTDT. Tell _us_ about it! :-) (Of course, that issue we had with noise, and the wierd latching inputs, made it even more painful...) Noel
