The USB Mass Storage and CF/MMC/SD Reference Design Kit includes everything necessary to implement a FAT16 file system using a SD, MMC, or CF memory card on your Silicon Labs MCU. In addition, it provides a method of interfacing that system to a host PC via USB using the Mass Storage Device class.
Adding large amounts of external memory is now economically viable given the availability of low-cost high density Flash memory cards. Using a SD, MMC, or CF card is an excellent way of providing gigabytes of data memory for a wide variety of applications. These applications include, but are not limited to:
- Data logging of sensors and transducers over long periods of time
- Storing large look-up or calibration tables
- Storing multiple versions of firmware or configurations
- Sharing data between embedded systems and PCs
The USB Mass Storage Reference Design Kit includes the following items:
- SD, MMC, and CF Memory Card Expansion Board
- 256 MB SD Memory Card
- 9-Pin Serial Cable
- Quick-Start Guide
- USB Mass Storage Reference Design CD-ROM, including the following:
- USB Mass Storage User’s Guide
