<p>There are three stages involved in testing a port of the MultiMediaCard

controller. The first stage tests the controller in isolation; subsequent

stages test an additional area of functionality. </p>

<p>All three stages involve text shell based test programs and test drivers,

and therefore these tests can be run by just building a text shell ROM. You

can also run tests on the Emulator. </p>

tests</title> <p>It is possible to emulate a user opening and closing the

MMC drive door, replacing and removing the MMC card, and assigning a password

to an emulated MMC card. This is important so that you can test: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-2B8F603F-FC12-57E2-B4A7-E86653DAD5C5"><p>how an application behaves

when the MMC card, from which the application is running, is removed and/or

swapped </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-D110DBEA-7070-557E-982A-8A34FACC7256"><p>how an application behaves

when it is reading and writing data to and from an MMC card </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-E714BBF6-A97F-5D4A-9D45-A7B8C12238F4"><p>that data stored on

an MMC card is not lost or corrupted during MMC drive events </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-EC779E31-2A94-51D4-B93D-4C9C2811726A"><p>that MMC card locking

and password notification works correctly. </p> </li>

</ul> <p>The platform independent layer of the MuiltiMediaCard controller,

as its name implies, is common to all platforms, including the emulator. However,

the emulator provides its own implementation of the platform specific layer. </p> <p>The

emulator does not provide access to any kind of MultiMediaCard hardware. Instead,

the memory area of each emulated card is represented by a file, a <filepath>.bin</filepath> type

file in the Windows system <filepath>temp</filepath> directory, on the host

machine. The MultiMediaCard emulator emulates a single stack containing two

separate cards, the first in slot 0, and the second in slot 1. Each emulated

card has an associated <filepath>.bin</filepath> file on the host machine.

As the emulator only supports the swapping of cards in slot 0, there are two <filepath>.bin</filepath> files,

one for each of the two emulated MMC cards in slot 0. There is no support

for card swapping on slot 1, and therefore this has only one <filepath>.bin</filepath> file. </p> <p>This

means that all the test programs described can be run on the emulator, and

they will exercise the platform independent layer code in the same way as

on real target hardware. It also means that call entries to, and exits from

platform specific layer code can be traced, and may be useful for debugging

problems on real hardware, and to help understand how the controller operates. </p> <p>The

code for the emulator specific layer code can be found in <filepath>...\wins\specific\mmc.cpp</filepath>. </p> </section>
