I'm trying to use the SD interface that the LPC1788 Development Board(Embedded Artists) comes with, using FAT. Has anyone been able to run the example that embedded artists provides? Do you know another example that actually works using this board? Thank you very much.

I'm still using EA software. The problem is that the hole project is based on EA software. ( the lcd, external memory and other peripherical are already running ok). I've tried to use LPCOpen SD library but it seems very hard to use it with EA software. All the definition files are different. Has anyone tried to improve EA software in order to be compatible with SDHC?

You didn't mention if you switched to the LPCOpen version or are still using the EA software.
The LPCOpen SDMMC driver will handle SDHC cards - even if you are using the EA software, you can use the enumeration sequence from the LPCOPen code as a reference to modify the EA code to get over 2GB.

The exact sequence is here:

An SD card is defined to be up to 2Gb. An SDHC card is defined to be up to 32Gb. Presumably you need an SDHC driver...

I've finally found the problem. I was using a Sd card with 4GB capacity. When I try it with a 256MB one, it runs perfectly. Does anyone know a library that supports SD cards with a capacity higher than 4GB???

There's an example in the v1.03 LPCOpen release for the 1788/40xx.
