3.27.19 Secure Digital MultiMedia Card Controller (SDMMC)

The SDMMC PLIB provides low level APIs to configure and transfer data using the SD host controller. The SDMMC PLIB supports SDMMC and eMMC modes, default and high speed data transfer, 1/4/8 bit data bus configurations. The PLIB performs the transfers in non-blocking mode. Transfers involving a data stage are performed using DMA.

Using The Library

The example code demonstrates sending a SD command to read a single block of data from the SD card. This example assumes that the SD card is already initialized by the application and is ready to accept read and write requests. The example application does not show the larger SD protocol required in order to communicate with the SD card.

uint16_t data_error;
bool isCommandCompleted = false;
bool isDataCompleted = false;
uint8_t readBuffer[512];

static void SDMMC_TransferEventHandler(
        SDMMC_XFER_STATUS xferStatus,
        uintptr_t contextHandle
)
{
    if (xferStatus & SDMMC_XFER_STATUS_CMD_COMPLETED)
    {
        // Command transfer complete, read the command error status.
        cmd_error = SDMMC1_CommandErrorGet();
        isCommandCompleted = true;
    }
    if (xferStatus & SDMMC_XFER_STATUS_DATA_COMPLETED)
    {
        // Data transfer complete, read the data error status.
        data_error = SDMMC1_DataErrorGet();
        isDataCompleted = true;
    }
}

int main(void)
{

    // Register event handler with the SDMMC PLIB. This is usually done once.
    SDMMC1_CallbackRegister(SDMMC_TransferEventHandler, (uintptr_t) 0);

    SDMMC_DataTransferFlags transferFlags;

    transferFlags.isDataPresent  = true;
    transferFlags.transferDir = SDMMC_DATA_TRANSFER_DIR_READ;
    transferFlags.transferType = SDMMC_DATA_TRANSFER_TYPE_SINGLE;

    // Set the block size to 512 bytes
    SDMMC1_BlockSizeSet(512);

    // Set the block count to 1
    SDMMC1_BlockCountSet(1);

    // Set up the DMA to read 512 btyes of data
    SDMMC1_DmaSetup(readBuffer, 512, SDMMC_DATA_TRANSFER_DIR_READ);

    // Send command to read one block of data from SD card starting at block address 100
    SDMMC1_CommandSend(17, 100, SDMMC_CMD_RESP_R1, transferFlags);

    // Check the status of isCommandCompleted and isDataCompleted

    // Other tasks ...
}
