<section id="GUID-388CEB1C-BA81-593F-81D3-C0BD72A405E0"><title>Client interfaces</title> <p>The

following diagram shows the relationship between the Controller and its clients,

and also shows aspects of the relationship between the constituent parts.

In this case, the client is the MultiMediaCard driver, although in general

this could be some other device driver. </p><fig id="GUID-108025DD-1333-4A3C-A507-7D61A42BCEA4">

</fig> <p>The session is used to pass commands either to the entire stack,

i.e. a broadcast command, or to individual cards in the stack. </p> <p>The

session provides access to the stack of cards, via a pointer to a stack object,

the <codeph>iStackP</codeph> private member. The session is used to pass commands

either to the entire stack, i.e. a broadcast command, or to individual cards

in the stack. An individual card can be accessed via a pointer to the card

object, the <codeph>iCardP</codeph> private member. The card objects, <xref href="GUID-913FA896-4237-3E47-996F-547E325550AD.dita"><apiname>TMMCCard</apiname></xref> types,

are data members of the card array object, <xref href="GUID-A460F779-52AB-3ED0-AF13-41B9BC5B2A71.dita"><apiname>TMMCardArray</apiname></xref>,

which, in turn is a data member of the stack object. </p> </section>

stack</title> <p>Clients of the MMC Controller such as the MMC Media Driver

uses the MMC Controller as follows: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-F4C2C756-5793-59BE-9DAB-E7960B4E5F8D"><p>requests a pointer to

the stack object, through which the client can obtain pointers to the individual

card objects and interrogate the cards, finding out their media type, capacity,

and capability (via the card’s <xref href="GUID-C6858312-FC9A-34C9-B442-557F7558B5C4.dita"><apiname>TCSD</apiname></xref> object), and whether

the card is present or ready. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-592769F9-B9B0-583E-A76C-DF8EB0A5A4B2"><p>creates a session object,

an instance of the <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita"><apiname>DMMCSession</apiname></xref> class, providing a callback

function for its constructor. The callback is encapsulated as a <xref href="GUID-F59F1805-95FB-3BDD-97A5-4FD6048DE2E8.dita"><apiname>TMMCCallBack</apiname></xref> object. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-66E909B9-8B32-5036-BCAA-486A7F047BBD"><p>initiates the session

with the pointer to the stack object: <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita#GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A/GUID-72859BCF-4979-37F3-BF32-45181F64755F"><apiname>DMMCSession::SetStack()</apiname></xref> . </p> </li>

</ul> <p>The client interacts with the stack in the following manner: </p> <ol id="GUID-AE800793-AEF9-5F11-9CF2-A6FEB6827265">

<li id="GUID-2957F643-771C-5279-821F-875843F42CAC"><p>it sets the session

up with the pointer to the card object, by calling <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita#GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A/GUID-60FAAA31-A5E1-3DCF-93AE-459BCC8C9730"><apiname>DMMCSession::SetCard()</apiname></xref>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-4B117791-3B0D-552F-81AC-85D0905EEB91"><p>it sets the session

up to do a specific job, such as a MultiMediaCard macro command, or a lower

level card command, using the API provided by <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita"><apiname>DMMCSession</apiname></xref>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-0F43C846-6E62-5539-99E1-1DBCF4E911CE"><p>it presents the session

to the stack for execution, by calling <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita#GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A/GUID-8DA6B49E-FED0-3E83-8D2F-EA7B61C28015"><apiname>DMMCSession::Engage()</apiname></xref>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-BF673228-633B-5E99-9396-0CE6ABE3360E"><p>On completion, the stack

calls the client’s callback function. The client then can repeat the cycle

from step 1 or 2. </p> </li>

</ol> <p>The client can override the default bus configuration settings, i.e.

change the bus clock, enable retries, change time-out values, restore defaults

etc., using the session's stack configuration object, <xref href="GUID-89631250-7D11-3E89-9785-7DF779B2AB38.dita"><apiname>TMmCStackConfig</apiname></xref>,

although in practice, there is rarely a need to do this. </p> </section>

<section id="GUID-6638C350-37FE-5CF7-AF0B-0EF763936DF3"><title>Locking the

MultiMediaCard stack</title> <p>The <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita"><apiname>DMMCSession</apiname></xref> API includes

general lower level functions to issue any single command or series of commands

including those currently unknown to the controller. This allows application

specific commands to be supported. It also allows the controller to support

new commands introduced in later versions of the specification (e.g. commands

to support I/O cards). </p> <p>When issuing a series of application specific

commands, the client will want to lock the stack, preventing any other client

from generating bus activity during this period. This is accomplished by calling <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita#GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A/GUID-BA7DE143-BDE0-31DB-8C85-1073F0D6175C"><apiname>DMMCSession::SetupCIMLockStack()</apiname></xref> and

then engaging that session. If successful, the stack will be locked until <xref href="GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A.dita#GUID-0186BEDE-8E28-3F8C-8CAE-A8B92F41F47A/GUID-5F153F42-9527-3561-AB05-B36DD28201A1"><apiname>DMMCSession::UnlockStack()</apiname></xref> is

called. </p> <p>As it may take time for the controller to lock the stack for

that session, the mechanism for locking the stack involves submitting a session

even though no bus activity results. If this session completes successfully

then the stack is locked. The client can then go ahead and invoke its series

of commands - configuring that same session object as necessary each time

and submitting it. </p> </section>
