Rtems_fsmount dosfs hanging

Tue Aug 26 08:20:49 UTC 2014

Thanks Andre,

This will be really a big help. Also, I am sure it will help anyone who
will be working over SD card/MMC interface in Raspberry pi for RTEMS.

Currently, since I don't have enough knowledge on SD spec. I am going
through the pdf that you have sent and trying to just initialize SD card on
raspberry pi.
Later I will try to read the block/sectors on SD card.

Thanks & Regards
Ritesh
