Interface memory card reader

[michael jorden]

can we interface a memory card reader with 8051?? I need one to attach one for storing GPS data.

Cant help you out to our full potential because of the lack of Information avaliable. However in short Yes, its possible. Figure out the interface of the MMC and the interface signal of your particular 8051 and see if they work toghter or you’ll need to conver the signals.

Hi Michael,

Memory card can be interfaced with SPI port only. Does your microcontroller has SPI port?

Even if there is any SPI port available, you can simulate it with code. It will become complex and hence suggest you to go for a bit more advanced microcontroller having SPI port.
