I wish I could tell you for sure. I reads the SD card's CSD and CID registers, and parses their values into structs, but...

Turning one mess into another? Strange because what you actually need to read/write isn't that much.

But my use is very specific and we know the cards so I'm probably just ignorant. Maybe there are some quirks to work around?

I'm focusing on just SDC cards right now; eventually I want to support SDHC and SDXC as well. But, still, 1KLOC?!

Linux drivers overall are not good examples of properly factored code.
