+ <p>The <code>mksdcard</code> tool lets you quickly create a FAT32 disk image that you can load in the
+  emulator, to simulate the presence of an SD card in the device. Because you can specify an SD
+  card while creating an AVD in the AVD Manager, you usually use that feature to create an SD card.
+  This tool creates an SD card that is not bundled with an AVD, so it is useful for situations
+  where you need to share a virtual SD card between multiple emulators.</p>
+
+  <h3>Usage</h3>
+  <pre>
+mksdcard -l &lt;label&gt; &lt;size&gt; &lt;file&gt;
+</pre>
+
+  <h3>Options</h3>
+  The following table describes the command-line options of <code>mksdcard</code>
+  <table>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Option</th>
+      
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+    
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>-l</code></td>
+
+      <td>A volume label for the disk image to create.</td>
+    </tr>
+
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>size</code></td>
+
+      <td>An integer that specifies the size (in bytes) of disk image to create. You can also
+      specify size in kilobytes or megabytes, by appending a "K" or "M" to &lt;size&gt;. For
+      example, <code>1048576K</code>, <code>1024M</code>.</td>
+    </tr>
+
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>file</code></td>
+
+      <td>The path/filename of the disk image to create.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </table>
+
+  <p>Once you have created the disk image file, you can load it in the emulator at startup using
+  the emulator's <code>-sdcard</code> option. For more information, see <a href= 
+  "{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/emulator.html">Android Emulator</a>.</p>
+  
+  <p>The usage for the <code>-sdcard</code> option is as follows:</p>
+  <pre>emulator -sdcard &lt;file&gt;</pre>
+
+<h3>Example</h3>
+mksdcard -l mySdCard 1024M mySdCardFile.img
