+SD Memory Card subsystem
+========================
+
+Zephyr supports SD memory cards via the disk driver API, or via the SDMMC
+subsystem. This subsystem can be used transparently via the disk driver API,
+but also supports direct block level access to cards. The SDMMC subsystem
+interacts with the :ref:`sd host controller api <sdhc_api>` to communicate
+with attached SD cards.
