#111808 - DFSS
Responding to: ???'s previous message
There are some other alternatives to SD/MMC that can be considered...like Atmel's DataFlash, if you really don't need huge amounts of memory, and don't want to pay for a big card. Atmel makes their DataFlash in a card format, fits in the same socket as your SD/MMC, and uses SPI. Internal memory architecture is different though, so keep that in mind.

Another option with DataFlash is Atmel's DataFlash Software Suite (DFSS) which provides drivers for DataFlash for Fat12/16 file system with wear leveling and such. It's also free from Atmel, you just have to sign a license agreement. It's one of those things that if you didn't know it existed, you wouldn't be able to find it on their website. See http://www.atmel.com/dyn/produ...yword=DFSS

Yet another option if you're willing to do a little porting is all the FAT code written for AVR-based MP3 players. See http://www.myplace.nu/mp3/ where the software can be downloaded.
