        Hai...I am new to Psoc and to this forum.   
   
I wanted to interface an SDCARD to my PSOC1 using psoc DESIGNER/Express. And also need to format the sdcard using FAT.   
I have worked on I2C with psoc. But how could I interface an SDcard with the user modules?   
   
How could I do that?? Please help me out...   
   
Thanks in advance..

The PSoC Designer versions before PSD5.0 SP5 had a user module for SD Card which is not available anymore. If you download an earlier version of the PSoC Designer from the PSoC Designer archives, you could use the SD Card user module. However there are many problems in this approach.   
   
1. There were many bugs (not sure if any of them was a show stopper) in the SD card user module   
2. You don't have a free C compiler in older versions of PSoC Designer. So you will need an Imagecraft license for this.

Shekar,

Yes.  In the absence of SD Card support in the designer, the only option is to use the SPIM user module and interfece the SD card.  If you are not planning to do file management, then I think you should be able to create a simple interface by direct sector writes.

Good luck!!

Best Regards,
Ganesh
