Micro-SD Adaptor with jumper leads soldered on

In this article we will be interfacing a SD-card using STM32.

For this purpose we have modified a SD to Micro-SD adaptor by soldering 9 jumper leads on it (see photo on the right).

SD-Card Pinout

The pinout of a SD-card and a MicroSD-card are as follows:

It is important to notice that all SD-cards can be interfaced in two different ways:

  1. SDIO
  2. SPI

DIY SD-card Adaptor

A quick way to hook up a SD-card to a STM32 is to use one of those SD to Micro-SD adaptors that come with most Micro-SD's when you buy them. I made one looking like this:

Combining that with the pinout from the previous section, we can make the following table:

Pin Color SDIO SPI
1 White CD/Dat3 CS
2 Grey CMD DI
3 Purple VSS1 VSS1
4 Blue VDD VDD
5 Green CLK SCLK
6 Yellow VSS2 VSS2
7 Orange DAT0 DO
8 Red DAT1
9 Black DAT2

As per the SD-card specification in both the case of SPI and SDIO, all signals except the clock should be pulled up. Our DIY adaptor does not include pull-up resistors, so we will have to rely on the internal ones, which are really quite weak but as long as the leads are not too long it should work ok.

SPI

NOTICE! While it is supported by most, some SD-cards do not support SPI access. If this fails for you, try with another card. Older cards are more likely to work.

SDIO

1-bit

4-bit

The following quick "hack" was soldered together and it works flawlessly.
