sd card interface

Hi

I'm trying to interface SD card (Transcend 1GB and 2GB) through SPI to
Infineon controller.
It is not initializing, infact i'm not getting response from SD card for
CMD0 (0x40).
when i'm going through some web site, it is given that not all SD cards
support SPI communication.
I wanted to know whether these SD cards what i'm using will support SPI?
and also the initialization sequence will differ from card to card? if so
how can resolve this issue.

awaiting for u'r reply.

thank you,
madhu

I never met a (fullsize) SD card that didn't support SPI mode. Get the
datasheet for your actual card and read it. 99.99999% likely your code
is buggy.

Are you using an SPI peripheral controller, or bit-banging it?

Even if using the SPI peripheral, there are several configuration
options that need careful selection. For starters, drop the speed
down to some low level to make sure that the basics work.  Check
the clock polarity and phase also.

As was mentioned in another post, you can't talk to the card any faster 
than about 100 - 400K before it is fully initialized.
