Internal SD Socket
The EM-1220-DK provides an internal SD socket for storage expansion. It allows users to plug in
a Secure Digital (SD) memory card compliant with the SD 1.0 standard for up to 1 GB of
additional memory space. The internal SD socket is located on the bottom of the EM-1220-DK.
Plug the SD card into the socket directly, and remember to press the SD card in first before
removing it. Note that the SD function shares the same chipset with the DIO. If you would like to
enable the SD function, the DIO must be disabled. If you would like to enable the DIO, the SD
function must be disabled.
