Description
The uMMC is quite possibly the easiest SD card interface for a microcontroller. With a time-tested reliable file system engine, the uMMC bridges the gap between PCs and microcontrollers by providing an easy way of accessing data from SD cards.
Using the serial interface on the uMMC, you can read from and write data to SD cards in FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 format -- virtually any card available from 8MB up to 2TB.
Firmware can be updated through the serial interface, as new features become available.
SD/MMC card not included.
