Hello Community and @MotooTanaka san,

I am trying to get a MicroSD card adapter with an SPI interface to interface and work with the PSOC 5LP. 
I have been trying to read through the SPI datasheet but there's no mention of using an SD card.😬

Can anyone please share any example project of successful interfacing of an SPI-based SD card adapter with PSOC 5LP?
Or the steps on how to and where to start with? Pin connections? PSOC Creator components to use?...

I have a little understanding of the working of the FAT filesystem.

Regards,
Yash

Yash,

Have you checked out the emFile component?

There are emFile examples available.

You need to make sure the emFile example you're going to use assigns the SPI pins you need to interface to your SDCard.

Note:  Most SDCard boards can ONLY use a maximum of 3.3V as a power supply to its VDD.  Most PSoC kit/eval boards default to 5V.

Some SDcard boards can take 5V as a supply but have a LDO to 3.3V and also include SPI signal level translators.
