Subject: sansa sd card detection (some hints)

sansa sd card detection (some hints)

I did a first attempt in finding the magics of the sd card detection in the sansa software by using the emulator.
Here are the results:

From the debug screen: GPIOA bit7 (0x80) goes low on sd card insertion.

The sansa software executes gpio in interrupt context. I think I have identified following cpu interrupts:
Bits 0-63
 0: timer1
 1: timer2
 2: RTC
 4: MBOX4
 9: forced interrupt
18: LCD_REG_4
26: DMA
32: GPIOs

At sd card insertion the software seems to execute following register manipulations:

counter address register register data

Because the emulator does not yet give the correct register content after sd card insertion, the above sequence is not complete and the returned values (R4-values) must not be regarded as the real ones.
These results may give some hints, how to do the sd card detection in our software.
