sd cards royalties

Hi,

I hava another question about omap l138. Can I use sd cards i my omap l138 based devices without any royalties?

  • TI is not going to charge any royalties for the use of our SD card software, but outside TI scope / other companies, you would need to seek legal advice from a lawyer. 

  • On http://www.sdcard.org/developers/join/licensing/ it is written:

    If your company is planning to manufacture or have manufactured SD Host Products (eg. SD card readers, cell phones, cameras or computers) or SD Ancillary Products, (eg. adapters or SD I/O cards) your company is required to complete the following steps:


    1. Join the SD Card Association and
    2. Enter into a , Host/Ancillary Product License Agreement (HALA)* with the SD Card Association and the SD-3C, LLC
    3. Licensee Registration Form (pdf, 24k) September, 2009
        Print and fill this form out (completely), and mail to the address above

    Contact the SD 3-C, LLC at SD-3CAdmin@millerkaplan.com

    So if I use omap and software provided by TI, it does not apply to me?

  • Hi Adam,

    Re-instating my previous post: we can not give legal consultations, you would need to confirm with a lawyer to check on that.
