The command ALL_SEND_CID and the fields and values for the MCI_CMDR Control Register
are described in Table 41-4 and Table 41-5.
Note: bcr means broadcast command with response.
The MCI_ARGR contains the argument field of the command.
To send a command, the user must perform the following steps:
• Fill the argument register (MCI_ARGR) with the command argument.
• Set the command register (MCI_CMDR) (see Table 41-5).
The command is sent immediately after writing the command register. The status bit
CMDRDY in the status register (MCI_SR) is asserted when the command is completed. If the
command requires a response, it can be read in the MCI response register (MCI_RSPR). The
response size can be from 48 bits up to 136 bits depending on the command. The MCI
embeds an error detection to prevent any corrupted data during the transfer.
The following flowchart shows how to send a command to the card and read the response if
needed. In this example, the status register bits are polled but setting the appropriate bits in
the interrupt enable register (MCI_IER) allows using an interrupt method.
