Hello,

Can we connect (PATA SD-CARD)  for example(https://www.amazon.com/SHINESTAR-Adapter-Memory-Converter-Laptop/dp/B079GSGCJY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=p...) to implement mass storage device. Will this approach work? and what code example do you recommend to use?

Regards.

Hi,

We have a reference design using FX2LP to implement a USB 2.0 to PATA interface:

https://www.cypress.com/documentation/reference-designs/cy4611b-usb-20-usb-ata-reference-design

So your design is applicable. However, FX3 has a GPIF II interface which is different than the GPIF interface of FX2LP. So I' m afraid you'll have to build your own code.

I recommend you use FX3S if you want to design a USB 3.0 to SD card application.

Regards,

Eddie
