| Aug 12, 2010 at 15:53 | comment | added | Padu Merloti | Is there a specialized chip that takes care of the SD interface and implements the file system or would I still have to implement a file system and the MSC class using the MSP430? | |
| Aug 10, 2010 at 20:48 | comment | added | Padu Merloti | Got it, makes sense. I'll consider that option. Thanks | |
| Aug 10, 2010 at 18:13 | comment | added | Kevin Vermeer | I'd suggest this route, because SD cards will give you the most storage space. You say 5MB now, but if you want more later, you're pushing the limits of serial flash (And you're well above the limits of EEPROM). If waterproofing is an issue (and you have an appropriate USB option, which seems to be the case) you can read your SD card out over USB, and put it inside the enclosure permanently. I've seen some designs which soldered the SD card to the board (Note: This worked, but I do not recommend it). | |
| Aug 10, 2010 at 16:23 | comment | added | Padu Merloti | Yes, I'm going to use one of the parts with embedded USB. The ideal would be to use the MSC protocol, but that adds a lot of complexity to my project. I'll probably settle with the HID data transfer rates. I thought about SD cards but that adds extra complexities on the enclosure as it has to be water splash proof. | |
