and is about 1 percent of the total card size.
The following sections describe the CSD fields and the relevant data types. If not explicitly defined otherwise, all
bit strings are interpreted as binary coded numbers starting with the left bit first.
CSD_STRUCTURE—describes the version of the CSD structure.
