A working read/write SD/SDHC driver has now been committed to SVN. The main things to note are:

- if you install .rockbox to an SD card and power on the player with the card inserted, this will be used as the primary drive. This means your settings/playlists/highscores/etc/etc will be saved to this drive, and these will be automatically re-loaded on startup.

- if you don't have an SD card inserted at power on, everything should work as before (Rockbox will boot from the internal memory and everything will be read-only).

- if you're feeling adventurous, you should be able to swap cards while Rockbox is running, but make sure to have the same .rockbox folder installed on both cards!

- if you booted from an SD card, the internal memory will show in the file browser as "<microSD1>" - This will be fixed eventually.

- if you booted from an SD card, and then remove the card, you can't view any files at all in the file browser until you re-insert a card. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

- there is currently no support for MMC cards.

Thank you all! This works fantastic with my 16GB SDHC card!

I've just had a rather worrying issue where my 16GB SDHC card will no longer power up. It appears to be dead in both my D2 and with a PC card reader.  :'(

I can't be 100% sure whether this failure can be attributed to Rockbox or not, so in the meantime be very careful which cards you use with Rockbox. I wouldn't recommend using anything valuable until we have identified whether this driver really is safe to use.

I hadn't had any problems in a couple of weeks of use, until today's problem. It could be that I simply removed the card while it was in use or something like that, but it could equally be due to a software bug.

In short: for the time being only use cards you don't mind losing... you have been warned.

Shotofadds: Amazing job with all of the recent updates and the entire port in general. This port has really breathed life into my Cowon D2. I like having so much more control over my device, and am really loving gapless. I have really missed using Rockbox and am thankful for another opportunity.

So far I am having a great results with the SD(HC) support on my 16GB A-Data SDHC card. The D2 just feels so much faster and more responsive; I have observed no instance of lag or poor performance and most features work quite well.

I haven't encountered any repeatable bugs/errors at the moment, but admit to encountering some initial trouble locating the "play" button, though I understand that this emanates from a lack of buttons.

Suffice to say, thank you for your efforts and revitalizing an already great Digital Audio Player.

sound quite awesome that you got it work... I might try it out later :)

and I hope you'll find out what fucked up your card. Maybe it was the also the card itself and had nothing to do with rockbox as far as other people do not seem to have a problem... maybe also it has something to with the kind of cards.

btw. I don't use partitions on my card do I have to use partitions or will the card recognized if it is just one filesystem without partion/mbr settings?
