Hello, My project is a datalogger using the msp430f2416, the data is stored in a SD card. I know this topic must be an old one. But still I seriously need some help as I am new to this and any help will be deeply appreciated. I have read a number of articles on SD interfacing and FAT implementation, some of which are: The foust appnote, allan evans appnote, ti's-slaa281b, chan's FATfs. I am using a 2 gig card so FAT16 is definitely my pick. I have only tested the slaa281b by a simple led glowing program.
Some doubts that came to my mind were:
1. Can I use USCI B1 to communicate in SPI mode through DMA?
2. Can any of you give me an idea of how to store in csv format?
3. FAT implementation is greatly tormenting me and it would be really helpful if any of you who worked on something like this could give me some example?
4. Can I use bit banging(even when my requirement is storing in FAT and in csv format) or is too slow or impossible?
Thank you in advance...
