Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
|
|
###################################
|
|
|
|
The SDHC api offers a generic interface for interacting with an SD host
|
|
controller device. It is used by the SD subsystem, and is not intended to be
|
|
directly used by the application
|
|
|
|
Basic Operation
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
SD Host Controller
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
An SD host controller is a device capable of sending SD commands to an attached
|
|
SD card. These commands can be sent using the native SD protocol, or over SPI.
|
|
Some SD host controllers are also capable of communicating with MMC devices.
|
|
The SDHC api is designed to provide a generic way to send commands to and
|
|
interact with attached SD devices.
|
|
|
|
Requests
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The core of the SDHC api is the :c:func:`sdhc_request` api. Requests contain a
|
|
:c:struct:`sdhc_command` command structure, and an optional
|
|
:c:struct:`sdhc_data` data structure. The caller may check the return code,
|
|
or the ``response`` field of the SD command structure to determine if the
|
|
SDHC request succeeded. The data structure allows the caller to specify a
|
|
number of blocks to transfer, and a buffer location to read or write them from.
|
|
Whether the provided buffer is used for sending or reading data depends on the
|
|
command opcode provided.
|
|
|
|
Host Controller I/O
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The :c:func:`sdhc_set_io` api allows the user to change I/O settings of the SD
|
|
host controller, such as clock frequency, I/O voltage, and card power. Not all
|
|
controllers will support applying all I/O settings. For example, SPI mode
|
|
controllers typically cannot toggle power to the SD card.
