Understanding SD, SDIO and MMC Interface

Image
    In this blog post i will present the gist of the paper http://www.kaltech.co.il/pdf/Eureka_sd_wp1.pdf ,  It's crucial for anyone willing to understand how removable devices like sd card work, different protocols/functionalities they support. Secure Digital (SD) memory card today, is one of the most popular non-volatile removable data storage media for consumer applications. It's not intended to remove hard-disk. Hard-disk can still deliver much better speed and memory capacity. SD card is used in applications demanding optimum memory capacity, smaller size, and low end product cost.  The combination of small foot print, lower cost and optimal performance contributed in SD-card's success. What is MultiMedia Card (MMC)? MMC and Sd-card share many common features and have the same physical and electrical specifications. The differences between the two standards are mainly on the software level commands. The similarities allow many hosts to accept both MMC and SD cards on ...

Building and testing RTEMS-libbsd for BeagleBone Black BSP

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Building and testing libbsd for BeagleBone Black BSP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ == Installation overview == === Initial setup === - Jump into your workspace and make a directory named sandbox This folder will contain all our project files - cd sandbox/ - export sandbox=$PWD - git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git - git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems.git - git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-libbsd.git === Building desired toolset for ARM === - cd rtems-source-builder/rtems/ - ../source-builder/sb-check - ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=$sandbox/5 5/rtems-arm - cd $sandbox - export PATH=$PWD/5/bin:$PATH After having required toolchain, we can now proceed towards building our Board Support Package(BSP) === Building Beagleboneblack BSP === - cd $sandbox - mkdir beagleboneblack - cd rtems - ./bootstrap -c &&  ./bootstrap - ../rtems-sourc...

Implementing a MMC/SD/SDIO stack using CAM framework(Part 2)

Hi, In the next part lets look at other files which makes up the SDIO stack within mmccam framework. Please have  a look at previous part for more info: http://81.4.107.225/wordpress/index.php/2018/03/19/implementing-a-mmc-sd-sdio-stack-using-cam-framework/ mmc_sdio.c +void sdio_fill_mmcio_rw_direct(union ccb *ccb, uint8_t f, uint8_t wr, uint32_t adr, uint8_t *data) { + struct ccb_mmcio *mmcio; + + CAM_DEBUG(ccb->ccb_h.path, CAM_DEBUG_TRACE, + ("sdio_fill_mmcio(f=%d, wr=%d, adr=%02x, data=%02x)\n", f, wr, adr, (data == NULL ? 0 : *data))); + mmcio = &ccb->mmcio; + + mmcio->cmd.opcode = SD_IO_RW_DIRECT; + mmcio->cmd.arg = SD_IO_RW_FUNC(f) | SD_IO_RW_ADR(adr); + if (wr) + mmcio->cmd.arg |= SD_IO_RW_WR | SD_IO_RW_RAW | SD_IO_RW_DAT(*data); + mmcio->cmd.flags = MMC_RSP_R5 | MMC_CMD_AC; + mmcio->cmd.data->len = 0; +} sdio_fill_mmcio_rw_direct is basically a wrapper for CMD_52 that's needed ...
