SD/MMC Card

Postby stolencdz » Tue Apr 25, 2006 6:11 pm

Hi all.

I'm working on a Digilab 2 development board (Xilinx Spartan II-E Chip). I'd like to write out to a SD/MMC card. Are there any VHDL modules available that would help me implement this? Or any other help/advice concerning this topic?

Thank you

Google has a lot of information. Unless you need very high speed use the serial protocol, it is very simple.

I'm sorry ,but I can't looking for any code for implement interface SD/MMC and FPGA.
Can you give me some links ?

The easy part is reading/writing chunks of data to the sd card via spi. You would use a state machine to send various commands along with the contents of a block of ram. Only marginally more difficult, but faster, is to use the 4 bit data bus (4x faster??) And use this module instead of a spi module. The HARD part is to implement fat32. I see theres also an AVR compatible softcore and AVR mmc libraries but wow thats complicated.

Same interface as HC11 which you might be familiar with. And it has wishbone interface (whatever that means).
