Grumpy_Mike - so what is your definition of code? (source code?) No it is not. It is text that gets interpreted. Yes but so is all code - javascript is simply human readable text that gets interpreted... |

(source code?) No source code isn't code - it is the source of the code hence the name! Code is machine instructions. Source code is the source, used by a compiler, to produce code. Bitlash is just text that is interpreted by another program, it is not code. |

Ahh but that's what most people refer to when talking about code - you're just being pedantic. Bitlash is therefore source code yes? C++ is then not code but still source code? Are we happy now?  |

bytecode=pcode=portable code. If you put logic on the sd card, it is code. It doesn't matter if it is interpreted or run as-is through the cpu. It doesn't matter if the codes are human readable like a programming language.
Maybe you are thinking of machine code? a specific name for code that is compiled/assembled?
This is a vastly different scenario than plain data.

Ok war over - yes it's possible to both load hex onto an arduino and run a type of text based code (source code perhaps) from an SD card but it is not possible with the current hardware architecture to load programs directly off of an SD card, using the SD card as external flash memory for them.
