Probing a device connected on sdio lines?

[gbiradar]

Hi Guys,

               I'm trying to write a simple application for imx6 board whose job is to read the information of device/module connected via sdio lines, the device can be 1 bit, 4 bit or spi also and the device/module  can be anything sd card, wireless etc...

I don't know where to start i have downloaded standard specification sdio, but application side how do i start because as per my knowledge sdio doesn't have any node in /dev/....

So if anyone has to probe the device basic idea how can we probe. this application should probe device id or vendor id in short status/category of the device connected on sdio lines. 

thanks & regards,

Ganesh Biradar

Hi Ganesh,

      For your questions, I can just give you some sugggestions !

(1) Don't suggest you use uSDHC interface

If you use the interface, your device should support SDIO / SD / eMMC protocol.

(2) SPI interface recommended

If you connect your device to SPI port of i.MX6, you can use "spidev" driver in linux BSP, the way can help you save development time. As for how to use spidev, you can get more information from internet.

     Hope above adivce can help you !

Good luck!

Hi weidong.sun​,

Thanks to your reply, Actually I'm writing a generic code(application) that detect device connected which mainly bit 1/4 mode. for that i need a way to write a code how and where to start.

Hello Ganesh,

     Anyway, you need to write a driver for your device at first, and in your driver, you should provide function interface for linux application. Otherwise, we can't access the device from linux application.

mxc_hdmi mxc_hdmi: create default modelist

2. Actually i want to connect with the board 1280x768 @ 65Hz but it always

config to 640x480@60Hz

& I seen the EDID supportable parameters under

/driver/video/mxc/mxc_edid.c(also configured to 1280x720 @ 60Hz ) like
