SDIOWorx is an OS independent embedded SD/SDIO Stack architecture framework, which enables software designers to develop and integrate SDIO support in the end products. The initial version of SDIOWorx is supported on embedded Linux versions 2.4 and 2.6 and uITRON 3.1.
The SDIOWorx under Linux comes complete with driver support for SDIO Host controllers and client cards/devices conforming to SD specification 1.10. The software components in the Embedded SDIOWorx framework support SDMemory and SDIO controllers/peripherals in an embedded device.

EDIT: found this post but it does not say thats its NOT supported, just no software for it, unless im reading it wrong...
it sounds like they do have support in hardware, but because they currently have no drivers they can't honestly say the GP2X as a whole does support it. On the plus side, this makes the lack of support something that can be fixed with a firmware upgrade. If the hardware did not support SDIO, then there would be no way to fix it. Since the gp2x runs Linux, "all" that needs to be done is find an existing SDIO driver for some other Linux handheld and port it just like a game (note the quotes around "all" )When we talk about supporting SDIO,we support SDIO interface cards (ex SD LAN card,SD bluetooth,SD camera and so on,)
However Since we dont have program to be read now we only support SD card.but if many developers make it, it could be possible.
You sir are correct.codesmith posted on Oct 15 2005 at 05:30 AM said:Well, sorting through the broken English,xzen54321 posted on Oct 14 2005 at 09:55 PM said:When, where?donjj posted on Oct 14 2005 at 07:22 PM said:

Well, one can apparently hot-swap SD cards. A bit of a hassle, but the pics can be stored in the RAM, and then transferred to a normal SD card.
Perhaps it's possible to have both plugged in at the same time e.g. the SDIO card having an SD slot and passing data between the SD card and the host device.Of course, the host device for the SDIO Card will also be able to use the SD Memory Card.
