Description

Driver API for Memory Card Interface using SD/MMC interface (Driver_MCI.h)

The Memory Card Interface (MCI) implements the hardware abstraction layer for Secure Digital (SD) and Multi Media Card (MMC) memory that is typically used as file storage. For embedded systems, SD/MMC devices are available as memory cards in several forms (SD, miniSD, microSD, MMC, MMCmicro) or as non-removable devic es that are directly soldered to the PCB (eMMC).

References:

The MCI driver allows you to exchange data of the SD/MMC memory via SD/MMC interface.

The following modes are supported by SD/MMC memory cards:

MCI API**

The following header files define the Application Programming Interface (API) for the MCI interface:

The driver implementation is a typical part of the Device Family Pack (DFP) that supports the peripherals of the microcontroller family.

Note
For parameters, the value marked with (default) is the setting after the driver initialization.

Driver Functions**

The driver functions are published in the access struct as explained in Common Driver Functions


Data Structure Documentation

struct ARM_DRIVER_MCI

Access structure of the MCI Driver.

The functions of the MCI are accessed by function pointers exposed by this structure. Refer to Common Driver Functions for overview information.

Each instance of an MCI provides such an access structure. The instance is identified by a postfix number in the symbol name of the access structure, for example:

  • Driver_MCI0 is the name of the access struct of the first instance (no. 0).
  • Driver_MCI1 is the name of the access struct of the second instance (no. 1).

A configuration setting in the middleware allows connecting the middleware to a specific driver instance Driver_MCIn. The default is 0, which connects a middleware to the first instance of a driver.

[out]responsePointer to buffer for response
Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_MCI_SendCommand

  • sends commands to the memory card
  • retrieve the response from the card
  • optionally, start the data transfer.

The parameter cmd is the command sent to the card.
The parameter arg contains arguments for the command cmd.
The parameter flags controls the behavior of the operation and takes predefined values listed in the table below.
The parameter response is a pointer to receive data.

The parameter flags can have the following values:

Parameter flags Description
ARM_MCI_RESPONSE_NONE No response expected (default)
ARM_MCI_RESPONSE_SHORT Short response (48-bit) expected
ARM_MCI_RESPONSE_SHORT_BUSY Short response with busy signal (48-bit) expected

ARM_MCI_CCSD Send Command Completion Signal Disable (CCSD) for CE-ATA device
ARM_MCI_CCS Expect Command Completion Signal (CCS) for CE-ATA device

Calling the function ARM_MCI_SendCommand only starts the operation. The function is non-blocking and returns as soon as the driver has started the operation. It is not allowed to call this function again until the operation is in progress.

After the command is sent the response is retrieved if specified with ARM_MCI_RESPONSE_xxx flags. When the command completes successfully (requested response is received without errors) the ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_COMPLETE event is generated. In case that response is requested but not received the ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT event is generated instead. In case of invalid response (or CRC error) the ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_ERROR event is generated instead. Progress of command operation can be monitored by calling the ARM_MCI_GetStatus and checking the command_active flag.

After the command operation the data transfer operation is started if specified with ARM_MCI_TRANSFER_DATA flag. The data transfer needs to be configured before that by calling the ARM_MCI_SetupTransfer. When the data transfer completes successfully the ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE event is generated. In case that data transfer is not completed in-time (specified by ARM_MCI_DATA_TIMEOUT) the ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT event is generated instead. In case of CRC errors the ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_ERROR event is generated instead. Progress of data transfer operation can be monitored by calling the ARM_MCI_GetStatus and checking the transfer_active flag.

ARM_MCI_STATUS ARM_MCI_GetStatus ( void  )

Get MCI status.

Returns
MCI status ARM_MCI_STATUS

The function ARM_MCI_GetStatus returns the current MCI interface status.

void ARM_MCI_SignalEvent ( uint32_t  event)

Callback function that signals a MCI Card Event.

Parameters
[in]eventMCI Events
Returns
none

The function ARM_MCI_SignalEvent is a callback function registered by the function ARM_MCI_Initialize.

The parameter event indicates one or more events that occurred during driver operation. Each event is encoded in a separate bit and therefore it is possible to signal multiple events within the same call.

Not every event is necessarily generated by the driver. This depends on the implemented capabilities stored in the data fields of the structure ARM_NAND_CAPABILITIES, which can be retrieved with the function ARM_NAND_GetCapabilities.

The following events can be generated:

Parameter event Bit Description supported when ARM_NAND_CAPABILITIES
ARM_MCI_EVENT_CARD_INSERTED 0 Occurs after Memory Card inserted always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_CARD_REMOVED 1 Occurs after Memory Card removal always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_COMPLETE 2 Occurs after command completed successfully always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT 3 Occurs after command timeout always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_COMMAND_ERROR 4 Occurs after command response error (CRC error or invalid response) always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE 5 Occurs after data transfer completed successfully always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT 6 Occurs after data transfer timeout always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_TRANSFER_ERROR 7 Occurs after data transfer error (CRC failed) always supported
ARM_MCI_EVENT_SDIO_INTERRUPT 8 Indicates SD I/O Interrupt data field sdio_interrupt = 1
ARM_MCI_EVENT_CCS 9 Indicates a Command Completion Signal (CCS) data field ccs = 1
ARM_MCI_EVENT_CCS_TIMEOUT 10 Indicates a Command Completion Signal (CCS) Timeout data field css_timeout = 1
