Sdio driver architecture

A partial list of new capabilities incudes:. This compatibility incudes mechanical, electrical, power, signaling and software.

In this mode, data is transferred on all 4 data pins DAT[]. Communication over the SD bus is based on command and data bit streams that are initiated by a start bit and terminated by a stop bit. Card addressing is implemented using as session address, assigned to the card druing the initialization phase. Data blocks are always succeeded by CRC bits. Single and multiple block operations are defined.

Note that the Multiple Block operation mode is better for faster write operation. A multiple block transmission is terminated when a stop command follows on the CMD line. Data transfer can be configured by the host to use single or multiple data lines. The block write operation uses a simple busy signaling of the write operation duration on the DAT0 data line regardless of the number of data lines used for transferring the data.

Each command token is precedes by a start bit 0 and succeeded by and end bit 1. The total length is 48 bits. Each token is protected by CRC bits so that transmission errors can be detected and the operation may be repeated. Resopnse tokens have one of four coding schemes, depending on their content. The token length is either 48 or bits.

When the wide bus option is used, the data is transferred 4 bits at a time. There are two types of Data packet format for the SD card. All communication between host and cards is controlled by the host master. The host send commands of two types: broadcast and addressed point-to-point commands. The host will be in card identification mode after reset and while it is looking for new cards on the bus. Cards will enter data transfer mode after their RCA is first published.

The host will enter data transfer mode after identifying all the cards on the bus. While in card identification mode the host resets all the cards that are in card identification mode, validates operation voltage range, identifies cards and asks them to publish Relative Card Address RCA. This operation is done to each ard separately on its own CMD line. During the card identification process, the card shall operate in the SD clock frequency of the identificaiton clock rate.

The host issues a reset command CMD0 with a specified voltage while assuming it may be supported by the card. The card checks the validity of operating condition by analyzing the argument of CMD8 and the host checks the validity by analyzing the reponse of CMD8. The supplied voltage is indicated by VHS filed in the argument.

The card assumes the voltage specified in VHS as the current supplied voltage. Only 1-bit of VHS shall be set to 1 at any given time. Both CRC and check pattern are used for the host to check validity of communication between the host and the card.

If the card cannot operate on the supplied voltage, it returns no response and stays in idle state. Cards which cannot perform data transfer in the specified range shall discard themselves from further bus operations and go into Inactive StTATE.

Until the end of Card Identificaton Mode the host shall remain at f OD freequency because some cards may have operating frequency restrictions during the card identification mode. It programs their DSR registers corresponding to the application bus layout and the number of cards on the bus and the data transfer frequency.

The clock rate is also switched from f OD to f PP at that point. CMD7 is used to select one card and put it into the Transfer State. This subject is discussed in this Linux Kernel discussion Thread. CRC is incorrect, and the communication is stopped. There are 2 possible error messages, depending on the first CRC location:. At the time of writing, no correction to the AllWinner 'sunxi-mmc' driver has been implemented.

Knowledge Article. Details Details. The message is then related to a 'sunxi-mmc' data error. The message is then related to a 'wfx-sdio' read error At the time of writing, no correction to the AllWinner 'sunxi-mmc' driver has been implemented.
