 		 #167875 - There's cheap SD with PCI
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
While looking for something else, I stumbled upon this: http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/embedded_sd/

This sounds like an SD-Card, but in a "chip" form - so it can be permanently mounted on a PCB, wthout all that tedious messing about with card holders.

Sounds great, but has anyone seen any actual devices?

I admitedly only did a very quick search, but all that came up seemed to be news releases about the spec.
So perhaps this is just "vapourware" ?


There's cheap SC/mmc card from PCI...
Don't know if they used the core of 8051 inside.Maybe FPGA/CPLD

Thank's

Embedded SD Memory - anyone seen any?            01/01/70 00:00      
   what's the point?            01/01/70 00:00      
      A microcontroller != flash memory controller            01/01/70 00:00      
         of course not, it's just one task of many ;-)            01/01/70 00:00      
            You actually gain a lot            01/01/70 00:00      
               whatever            01/01/70 00:00      
                  even more to the roots            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Solderability not a problem            01/01/70 00:00      
            There are advantages            01/01/70 00:00      
      Memories can be purchased separately.            01/01/70 00:00      
         memories... of the shelf...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Pricey and consumes a lot of processor pins            01/01/70 00:00      
               an interesting overview            01/01/70 00:00      
               Is 8 pins a "lot of pins"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Not SD - the linked memory            01/01/70 00:00      
                     is 17 a very large number? ;-)            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Show me your solderable SD module            01/01/70 00:00      
                           there's nothing to prevent you from soldering a micro-SD            01/01/70 00:00      
                              That's stretching it a bit            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Every extra pin needed can be very expensive            01/01/70 00:00      
   There's cheap SD with PCI            01/01/70 00:00      
      Oddly enough ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         connector issue            01/01/70 00:00      
         The only "issue" is their connector            01/01/70 00:00      
            as opposed to MMC, which uses the same connector            01/01/70 00:00      
   Found it - "iNand"!            01/01/70 00:00      
      how does its cost compare            01/01/70 00:00      
         Dunno            01/01/70 00:00
