SD Card Path Conventions

Access to the SD card memory requires that a valid SD card label be used at the beginning of the path followed by the relative path to the SD card.

(Valid SD Card Label)/(Relative Path)
  • A valid SD card relative path starts with //, /, \\, or \.
  • This is immediately followed by SDCard which is followed by \ or /.
  • This path label is case insensitive.

The SDCard folder is created inside the userdata folder to maintain compatibility with the Simulator.

File access points to userdata/SDCard when a AKD PDMM SDCard path is used on the Simulator.
