Adding large amounts of external memory is now economically viable given the availability of low-cost high density Flash memory cards. Using an 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, containing the following:
- USB Mass Storage User’s Guide
- Reference design documentation (AN282)
- Reference design source code and design files (AN282SW)
Note: This kit requires the C8051F340DK.
