SD card interface with MCB2300

[DZZ]

Hey,

I was wondering if there is anyway to interface with the SD card reader that came with the MCB2300 board with Labview.  The SD card doesn't seem to be using the SPI interface.

Thanks for your help.

Hi DZ,

The short answer is, yes you can interface to an SD card using the MCB2300 using LabVIEW.   The long answer will require a decent amount of work upfront before you will be able to implement these function in LabVIEW.  

Keil provides tools for  connecting to an SD card with the LPC2378 chips and an example using the MCB2300.  Unfortunately to access these libraries you will need the RealVIEW Real-Time Library (RL-ARM), which requires purchasing an additional license for this software.

Once you have necessary libraries you will need to build up the driver VIs in LabVIEW using the Inline C Node, which can easily wrapped into a new subVI.  

Here are some links to get your started:

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Cheers,

Mark
