Hello,
I am trying to communicate to a small hard drive using the IDE/ATA commands but would like to/have to use SDIO interface? One suggestion was to modify the SD device driver so that it can send ATA commands. Another suggestion was to create a new device driver from scratch to send the ATA commands to the drive’s controller.
I am looking for some advice on what is the easiest way to implement this setup. The idea is to connect a hard drive to a camera using its SD interface but communicating with the drive (the actual commands) using the ATA commands. Is this even possible?
All thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks
