Easiest way is probably get a usb card reader and stick it into your 
development system so you can copy stuff on and off like any other usb 
disk. Mine has a Realtek RTS5111 chip in it which works perfectly in 
linux, you just need to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN in your kernel to 
see all the slots.

I have made custom distributions from scratch that work fine.. For best 
results, make separate partitions for system and data storage, and mount 
the system partition read-only.

By the way, SD (secure digital) cards contain FLASH memory (a specific 
type of EEPROM), not SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory). 
They're completely different things.
