I have been trying to interface a compact flash card to a host system usin a CPLD. I have a confusion regarding the possible modes of 3 operation o these cards. By design standards , I would like to know that whether w have host systems CF interfaces (say a PC CF interface) which can rea different types of CF card modes, be it memory, I/O of True IDE. O whether a compact flash card is capable of being read in any mode, and it the host interface which has the limitation of a particular mode.
Suppose , a CF+ card is inserted in the host CF interface, how does th Host know whether its an CF memory card or a CF card with an IO devic (like wifi). In short, how does host determine which mode to choose ??
Kindly help me to proceed,
