This directory contains code to access MMC based devices.
|
|
|
|
It was created during the initial port of MINIX to the ARM platform. mmbclk
|
|
implements a normal MINIX block device. It uses the interfaces defined in
|
|
mmchost.h to perform it's operations.
|
|
|
|
mmchost_mmchs is the MMC host controller driver for the TI omap device range.
|
|
It contains the logic to access SD cards on that device.

Future work:
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
* Creating a more generic MMC layer
|
|
The SD protocol is well defined and the imported the netbsd sdhcreg and
|
|
sdmmcreg headers will allow us to make the MMC interface more generic. We would
|
|
like mmchost_mmchs to be split in a generic part and a specific part.
|
|
|
|
* Using interrupts
|
|
At time of writing the interrupt handlers on the ARM port are not implemented.
|
|
Once that is done we will be able to rewrite the code to use proper interrupt
|
|
handlers.
|
|
|
|
* 4 and 8 bits access
|
|
The driver currently only reads data over a single data line. Adding support
|
|
for 4 or 8 bits(for movinands) mode is very welcome.
|
|
|
|
* DMA.
|
|
The OMAP driver allows the usage of DMA. Adding DMA support will increase the
|
|
performance of the driver
|
|
|
|
* Removal of the PRIVCTL call.
|
|
The MMC driver uses memory mapped IO to perform it's operations. On i386 it is
|
|
the pci driver that will grant access to certain piece of memory to a driver.
|
|
On the ARM port we lack pci and other self describing busses. In the current
|
|
driver the driver will itself grant itself access to the correct piece of
|
|
memory but this is unwanted behavior. We currently as thinking about two
|
|
possible solutions. The first would be to add the memory ranges in system.conf.
|
|
The second would be to modify the PCI driver to grant access to memory based on
|
|
a fixed configuration. For example we could use the driver tree to perform
|
|
device discovery and granting access to devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* TODO removal
|
|
The driver contains (quite a few) TODO's where the code need to be improved.
