What to do for SD cards > 2GB

Post by mmk-tsm »

Hello All,
I am not sure if this is a hardware or a software issue, probably both.
We can no longer buy SD cards smaller than 2GB. What will happen when 2GB's are no longer available.
Can the Netburner software cope with >2GB cards?
And can >2GB cards be accessed by the simple SPI interface?
TiA,
Michael.

A previous post said you can go up to 128GB with the latest release. Search on "sd card size"

Hello,
I have the greatest trouble doing any meaningful searches on this forum. This is the reply I got to your proposed search "SD card size";

he following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: card size sd.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

Thats strange. The first time I did it the proper threads came up because I read through them. But now when I do it I get the same results you are. Hey, did you break it? ;) Doing the same search in the Google Custom Search box at the top of the page, rather than clicking on the Search link, found a thread that said the max size was 128GB.

SDHC has been supported by the EFFS file system in the NNDK for almost 2 years now. This is currently the most common type of MMC/SD form factor card available for capacities larger then 2GB. I have personally tested this on cards up to 16GB and I am pretty sure that any larger SDHC cards should also have no problems.
