Description
The micro-DRIVE (uDRIVE-uSD-G1) is a compact
high performance “Embedded Disk Drive” module
that can be easily added to any micro-controller
design that requires a DOS compatible file and
data storage system. Most micro-controllers have
small and limited on-chip memory. For those
applications that require large volumes of data,
the micro-DRIVE integrates the GOLDELOX-DOS
chip onto a tiny 'drop-in- module'. A simple serial
interface is all that is required to take away the
burden of low level design that would otherwise
be required for the host controller.
The micro-DRIVE module utilises off the shelf
removable microSD memory cards of up to 4GB
capacity and above as its medium. A handful of
straightforward commands provide direct access
to the on-board memory card for storing and
retrieving any size or type of data. Access to the
card can be at (FAT based) file levels or at raw disk
byte levels. Applications can range from data
logging, program storage, music files, image and
video files or any type of general purpose data
storage. So next time your host micro-controller
application requires a file/data storage, the micro-
DRIVE maybe the ideal solution.
