Modes of Operation Overview
The MMC/SD/SDIO Card controller has two modes of operation:
•
MMC/SD/SDIO mode
This mode supports the MMC, SD, and SDIO Card communication protocols for data
transfers; only one of the protocols is active at a time.
•
SPI mode
This mode provides the capability to communicate with MMC, SD Card, and SDIO Card
devices.
