SDIO
The SD card standard is a standard for removable memory storages designed and licensed by the SD Card Association
(http://sdcard.org). The card form factor, electrical interface, and protocol are all part of the SD Card specification. The
Intel® System Controller Hub US15W supports up to 3 SDIO interfaces. On nanoETXexpress-SP the first interface SDIO#0
(4-bit wide) is shared with the module GPIO signals. The integrated SDIO 1.1/MMC 4.1 controller in US15W only supports
byte-address mode for SDIO storage cards up to 2GB. Sector-addressing and SDHC is not supported.
» MMC 4.1 transfer rates can be up to 48MHz and bus widths of 1, 4 or 8 bits
» SDIO 1.1 supports transfer rates up to 24MHz and bus widths of 1 or 4 bits
The following table shows which GPIO-ports can be used for the SD-card interface:

GPI0
SLOT0_DATA0
GPI1

GPI2
SLOT0_DATA2
GPI3
SLOT0_DATA3
GPO0
SLOT0_CLK

SLOT0_CMD
GPO2
SLOT0_WP
GPO3
SLOT0_CD#
The SD_CMD line needs a pull-up resistor that can vary depending on the length of the
electrical paths (typical from 10kOhm to 100kOhm).
The maximum length for SDIO signals on the baseboard should be 80mm.
