password setting mode, the PWD itself, and card lock/unlock). The command data block
size is defined by the SDIO card host module before it sends the card lock/unlock command,
and has the structure shown in
The bit settings are as follows:
●
ERASE: setting it forces an erase operation. All other bits must be zero, and only the
command byte is sent
●
LOCK_UNLOCK: setting it locks the card. LOCK_UNLOCK can be set simultaneously
with SET_PWD, however not with CLR_PWD
●
CLR_PWD: setting it clears the password data
●
SET_PWD: setting it saves the password data to memory
● PWD_LEN: it defines the length of the password in bytes
●
PWD: the password (new or currently used, depending on the command)
The following sections list the command sequences to set/reset a password, lock/unlock the
card, and force an erase.
Setting the password
1. Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.
2. Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit card
lock/unlock mode, the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of bytes of the new password.
When a password replacement is done, the block size must take into account that both
the old and the new passwords are sent with the command.
3. Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (SET_PWD = 1), the
length (PWD_LEN), and the password (PWD) itself. When a password replacement is
done, the length value (PWD_LEN) includes the length of both passwords, the old and
the new one, and the PWD field includes the old password (currently used) followed by
the new password.
4. When the password is matched, the new password and its size are saved into the PWD
and PWD_LEN fields, respectively. When the old password sent does not correspond
(in size and/or content) to the expected password, the LOCK_UNLOCK_FAILED error
bit is set in the card status register, and the password is not changed.
The password length field (PWD_LEN) indicates whether a password is currently set. When
this field is nonzero, there is a password set and the card locks itself after power-up. It is
possible to lock the card immediately in the current power session by setting the
LOCK_UNLOCK bit (while setting the password) or sending an additional command for card
locking.
Resetting the password
1. Select a card (SELECT/DESELECT_CARD, CMD7), if none is already selected.
2. Define the block length (SET_BLOCKLEN, CMD16) to send, given by the 8-bit card
lock/unlock mode, the 8-bit PWD_LEN, and the number of bytes in the currently used
password.
3. Send LOCK/UNLOCK (CMD42) with the appropriate data block size on the data line
including the 16-bit CRC. The data block indicates the mode (CLR_PWD = 1), the
length (PWD_LEN) and the password (PWD) itself. The LOCK_UNLOCK bit is ignored.
4. When the password is matched, the PWD field is cleared and PWD_LEN is set to 0.
When the password sent does not correspond (in size and/or content) to the expected
