Chapter 13: SD/SDIO Controller
The sequence for data transfers without using DMA is as follows:
1. Set the value corresponding to the executed data byte length of one block to the Block Size
register.
2. Set the value corresponding to the executed data block count to the Block Count register.
3. Set the value corresponding to the issued command to the Argument register.
4. Set the value to Multi/Single Block Select and Block Count Enable. Set the value corresponding
to the issued command to Data Transfer Direction, Auto CMD12 Enable, and DMA Enable.
5. Set the value corresponding to the issued command to the Command register.
Note: When writing the upper byte of the command register, the SD command is issued.
6. Wait for the command complete interrupt.
7. Write a 1 to the Command Complete bit in the Normal Interrupt Status register to clear this bit.
8. Read the Response register and get the necessary information in accordance with the issued
command.
9. In the case where this sequence is for writing to a card, go to Step (10-W). In case of read from
a card, go to Step (10-R).
(10-W). Wait for a buffer write ready interrupt.
°
Non-DMA Write Transfer
On receiving the buffer write ready interrupt the ARM processor acts as a master and starts
transferring the data via the Buffer Data Port register (FIFO_1). The transmitter starts sending
the data on the SD bus when a block of data is ready in FIFO_1. While transmitting the data
on the SD bus the buffer write ready interrupt is sent to the ARM processor for the second
block of data. The ARM processor acts as a master and starts sending the second block of
data via the buffer data port register to FIFO_2. The buffer write ready interrupt is asserted
only when a FIFO is empty and available to receive a block of data.
(11-W). Write a 1 to the Buffer Write Ready bit in the Normal Interrupt Status register to clear this
bit.
(12-W). Write a block of data (according to the number of bytes specified in Step (1)) to the Buffer
Data Port register.
(13-W). Repeat until all blocks are sent and then go to Step (14).
°
Non-DMA Read Transfer
A buffer read ready interrupt is asserted whenever a block of data is ready in one of the
FIFOs. On receiving the buffer read ready interrupt, the ARM processor acts as a master and
starts reading the data via the Buffer Data Port register (FIFO_1). The receiver starts reading
the data from the SD bus only when a FIFO is empty and available to receive a block of data.
When both of the FIFOs are full the host controller stops the data coming from the card by
means of a read wait mechanism (if the card supports read wait) or through clock stopping.
(10-R). Wait for a buffer read ready interrupt
(11-R). Write a 1 to the Buffer Read Ready bit in the Normal Interrupt Status register to clear this bit.
