Portable device drivers are provided for standard media categories:
- RAM disk driver. The RAM disk driver supports using internal or external RAM as a storage medium.
- SD/MMC driver. The SD/MMC driver supports SD, SD high-capacity and MMC cards, including micro and mini form factors. Either cardmode and SPI mode can be used.
- NAND driver. The NAND flash driver support parallel (typically ONFI-compliant) NAND flash devices.
- NOR driver. The NOR flash driver support parallel (typically CFI-compliant) and serial (typically SPI) NOR flash devices.
- MSC driver. The MSC (Mass Storage Class) driver supports USB host MSC devices (i.e., thumb drives or USB drives) via µC/USB-Host.

If your medium is not supported by one of these drivers, a new driver can be written based on the template driver. Appendix C, “Device Driver” describes how to do this.
