The MMC specification is published by the MultiMediaCard Association.

+

Communication is based on a 7-pin serial bus designed to operate in a low +voltage range (2.0 - 3.6V). The MultiMediaCard specification defines a communication +protocol referred to as MMC mode (0-20MHz). In addition, for compatibility +with existing controllers, MultiMediaCards may offer an alternative communication +protocol which is based on the SPI standard (0-5MHz).

+
Omissions

The +following features of the MultiMediaCard System Specification are not provided +in the Symbian platform MultiMediaCard controller:

    +
  • Stream read and write +operations are not supported.

  • +
  • SPI bus mode is not +supported.

  • +
  • The MultiMediaCard System +Specification includes a feature where a MultiMediaCard can be put into a +disconnected state. This can be performed on a card which is currently in +the programming state, i.e. writing data to the disk. To place that card into +the disconnected state involves placing another card into the transfer state, +which means giving the other card the current data transfer focus. A disconnected +card will not terminate the programming operation and, if re-selected, moves +back to the programming state. The Symbian platform MultiMediaCard controller +does not support this mode of operation even if the underlying hardware interface +does.
