SD Cards and the Emulator
From a command prompt / terminal navigate to the android sdk’s tools folder.
Resetting the emulator
To reset the emulator and wipe all the stored data, returning as it were to factory settings run:
emulator -wipe-data
Create a blank SD card image:
mksdcard <size> <filename> e.g. mksdcard 512M halfagig.sd
will create a 512 MegaByte sdcard image called halfgig.sd.
Mounting an SD Card in the emulator:
emulator -sdcard <filepathandname>
This will mount the card under the path /sdcard
Mounting an SD Card image under Linux:
mount -o loop [filename] [/media/mountpoint]
