STM32 BluePill SD Card Reader

Most MM/SD Cards support connection via SPI (How to Use MMC/SDC by ChaN). In this way it is possible to connect a SD Card to BluePill and use it as an external memory storage, but also present it via Mass Storage Class as an USB Card Reader. Bear in mind that the read/write speed is relatively very low.
