Software overview

The SDIO host controller provides interface between the core driver layer of Linux MMC

stack and the underlying SDIO host controller. The SDIO host controller driver is present at

the drivers/mmc/host/spr_sdio_arasan.c file. The SDIO core driver layer is present in the

drivers/mmc/core folder in Linux. This layer provides an interface to card or function drivers,

which can use it to communicate with the SD/MMC/SDIO card. Card drivers are present in

the drivers/mmc/card folder in Linux. This layer can provide its own interface to the user, for

example the MMC card driver implemented in Linux provides a block driver interface to the

user. After inserting the card on the slot, you can access the MMC device nodes

(/dev/mmcblkp1, /dev/mmcblkp2, etc).

The following examples demonstrate how a card driver can access the functionalities

provided by the core driver layer.

Note:

The device nodes /dev/mmcblkp1 and /dev/mmcblkp2 are created because the disk has

partitions. If you use a generic disk or a disk without partitions then the generic dev node

/dev/mmcblk[0,1,2 ] are created.

The driver does not support ADMA feature of SDIO host controller.
