12 Secure Digital I/O and Multimedia Card

The SDIO/MMC interface comes with two controllers: one microSD card socket (only memory cards avail-
able) and one pin strip for using a standard SDIO connector (9 pins), miniSD Card connector (11 pins) or a
second microSD Card connector (8 pins). Both controllers supports SDIO revision 1.1 and MMC revision 4.0.
Exception: SD memory cards with a capacity greater than 2 GB can be used (feature from SDHC revision
2.0). The data bus width accounts one or four bits, the SDIO transfer rate can be up to 24 MHz and MMC rate
up to 48 MHz.
The signal line /CD (Card Detect, active low) of connector J3201 must be connected. The signal line /WP
(Write Protect, active low) is optional (default: write enabled). A BIOS Setup setting allows write protection
of the microSD card socket (J3200).
Both controllers have some restrictions: they doesn't support zero block size transfers and the multiple
transfer mode (DMA and PIO mode).
