Hi,

Have you tried formating the SD card in FAT format? I have a 512MB SD Card, DE2 Board and Windows XP 32-bit Operating system. As I format the 512MB Card, It formats it to FAT format which is FAT16. It should indicate that it has 62,000+ clusters "allocation spaces" only. Then I used the UP IP for the SD Card, it works :) I was able to create a file, write data to it and read from it.

THE PROBLEM: I am not able to create another file. And I do not know how to change the file type as I can only create "FILE" format files. I want to be able to create JPEG, TEXT formats as well. :)
