SDIO driver

i need to emulate a 4-bit SDIO slave device and i'm not sure where to start. has someone already written XC code for this? any help you can provide would be nice.
P.S. i'm using SDIO so i can do highspeed data transfers (SPI is NOT enough) to and from a
pandaboard via expansion port.

Hi Gravis
You might have trouble locating an unencumbered (opensource) version or for that matter re-engineering one avoiding their NDAs etc... What would be more useful is a XMOS LINK implementation on the ARM (pandaboard) side. especially if this could be more generic to work with other boards like Beagleboard, BeagleBone etc.. Then interfacing could be trivial using services/channels or such on the XS1 side.
regards
Al

that would require writing a driver for the DMA controller on the pandaboard. the level of complexity is exponential compared to what i'm doing.
