Purpose +

The Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) protocol is based on the SD +memory card protocols. The SDIO bus enables high speed data transfers between +the host and a card. The SDIO consumes low power and is efficient for use +in mobile devices. SDIO cards like SD cards use star topology that have dedicated +command and data signals. The purpose of the SDIO APIs is to enable easy porting +of the Symbian SDIO services for a particular SDIO controller.

+
+
Key concepts
    +
  • SDIO controller:

    is the executable that manages access to +the SDIO card hardware interface and provides an API for class drivers to +access SDIO card functions.
  • +
    +
  • Stack:

    handles multiple requests simultaneously. It internally +schedules the requests on to the bus and allocates the appropriate card to +transfer data accordingly.
  • +
    +
  • Session:

    sets up a session object to perform SDIO specific +command sequences.
  • +
    +
  • Register interface:

    allows single byte read/write operations +to a given register address together with the corresponding ones for multi-byte +access.
  • +
+
Typical Uses
    +
  • Powering up stack containing a single SDIO Card.

  • +
  • Sending a command to PSL.

  • +
  • Acquiring new cards into the SDIO stack.

  • +
  • Configuring an SDIO card.
