Hi,

I wanna build some Compact Flash Card like wireless or barcode interface etc. I need all kind of info c source for pic micros, schematics and etc. Also driver examples for pocketpc and/or embedded linux will be really useful and where can I purchase compact flash connectors & cases. Thanks for advice.

part of your design will be the interface with teh PCMCIA (CF) host controller on the PC or the handheld.
Lot's of information on this can be found in the CF standard
available on www.comp@ctflash.org
 

Check out FTDI website, they have schematics and c code for a card reader.
You might get some info there?
:?
 

CF interface uses ATA. So to hook CF to a PIC Micro, you need to do implement the ATA/IDE port. For slow speed a software level drive or a simple 8255 will do the job. For high speed you need DMA. Or so, you have to define a file system for the CF disk. Try www.sandisk.com.
 

Please application this tool to analysis data .
