Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (QSPI) is a serial communication interface. QSPI has been specifically designed for talking to flash chips. The microSD Card is a type of Removable NAND-type small flash memory card format which was introduced in 2003. microSD measures 11mm x 15mm and is 1mm thick. Two pinout tables are provided for microSD below; one table provides the pin out for SD Mode, and one table shows the SPI mode. MicroSD Connector Manufacturers are listed below. You can switch between SD mode and SPI mode of communication during power-up. By default, the card always starts in SD mode. The Arduino has to perform the switch using the Chip select and control lines. Once you put the SD card into SPI mode, you cannot change the communication mode without providing a power reset. Any commands discussed below pertaining to SPIFFS or LittleFS are applicable to SD/SDFS. For legacy applications, the classic SD filesystem may continue to be used, but for new applications, directly accessing the SDFS filesystem is recommended as it may expose additional functionality that the old Arduino SD filesystem didn’t have. Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits Adafruit SPI Flash SD Card - XTSD 512 MB : ID 4899 - This breakout is for a fascinating chip - it looks like an SPI Flash storage chip (like the GD25Q16) but its really an SD card, in an SMT chip format.
