Detailed Description

Block-level access to an SD card attached to the SCIF port.

This file contains the interface to working with the SD card reader that was designed by jj1odm. The SD card reader itself connects to the SCIF port and uses it basically as a simple SPI bus.

For reference, all I/O through this code should be done in the order of SD card blocks (which are 512 bytes a piece). Also, this should adequately support SD and SDHC cards (and possibly SDXC, but I don't have any of them to try out).

This code doesn't directly implement any filesystems on top of the SD card, but rather provides you with direct block-level access. This probably will not be useful to most people in its current form (without a filesystem), but this will provide you with all of the building blocks you should need to actually make it work for you.

Due to the patent-encumbered nature of certain parts of the FAT32 filesystem, that filesystem will likely never be supported in KOS proper (unless, of course, people are still using KOS after those patents expire). I'm not going to encourage anyone to violate Microsoft's patents on FAT32 and I'm not going to be the enabler for anyone to do so either. So, if you want FAT32, you're on your own.
