 samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | even if it's slower than an SD card, if we're talking platform firmware, it'll still be faster than mishandling a micro SD card | 23:22:23 |
 CRTified | Ohhhh. SDWire might also be an option | 23:23:07 |

| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | never received a "back in stock" message | 23:23:46 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | * never received a "back in stock" message, if it's the one I'm thinking about | 23:24:24 |
| CRTified | Here's a USB-C version https://badgerd.nl/sdwirec/ | 23:24:28 |
| CRTified | apparently in stock | 23:24:34 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | though I'm still interested in trying to find a worst cheaper more available option :) | 23:25:11 |

| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | especially one that requires only off the shelf bits | 23:25:38 |
| CRTified | Understandable. 85€ is still pretty expensive for "I don't want to move SD cards around" 😄 | 23:25:44 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | (plus shipping) | 23:26:04 |

especially one that requires only off the shelf bits Mhh, 9 pins on an SD card, Vdd and Vss can be kept connected (e.g. via diodes or P-FETs). How about this: https://aliexpress.com/item/32734295839.html | 23:27:14 |
| CRTified | 😄 | 23:27:15 |
| CRTified | Signal integrity is probably "experimental" | 23:27:54 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | erm | 23:27:59 |
| CRTified | But it's more on the cheap and simple side 🙃 | 23:28:05 |
| CRTified | (Sorry, I'm getting stupid. Should probably head to bed 😄) | 23:28:25 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | one thing I was intending on using as off-the-shelf component was those things: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32919143457.html | 23:28:40 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | inexpensive, trivializes breaking out the slot | 23:28:51 |
| CRTified | Definitely | 23:29:24 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | right, or those (assuming you misuse the sd card receptacle as soldering points) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32810393227.html | 23:30:35 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | topologically speaking... pretty much the same as the other one | 23:31:05 |

| CRTified | I was originally hoping to find something similar to the g_mass_storage module | 23:33:01 |
| CRTified | (Which allows you to use boards like the raspi0 as mass storage device) | 23:33:21 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | yeah, nothing of the sort AFAIK exists for SD | 23:33:35 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | which is why I kinda want to try streaming | 23:33:43 |
| samueldr [Tow-Boot][NixOS] | that would be kinda that | 23:33:50 |

 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | What if, instead of muxing the SD card, there was no SD card on the "carrier board" but it "emulated" one and the SD card is "backed" by an image on disk or a loopback device? | 04:47:39 |
