NDS/SPI UART Bridge
From Dev-Scene

by Ben Jaques (aka masscat)
This projects provides a bridge between the DS's DS card slot SPI bus and a UART and the DS software to drive it, allowing the DS to communicate with anything with a UART interface. For example using a RS232 line driver allows the DS to communicate with a PC serial port.
The hardware uses a Zilog Z8F0412 microcontroller. This MCU is available in DIP packages allowing the bridge be built without needing custom PCBs to be manufacture, although it does make the hardware less portable.
