Just because they're strings doesn't mean that you have to develop some sort of natural language parsing... very simple strings where each character represents some parameter or command would be pretty easy (read: near trivial) to handle. String, for loop, switch statement, done. In any case, I don't know anything about this SD card reader (except that I'd love to have one), but from a software perspective the idea is definitely tractable.
