Hello,

i would like activate D[0-4] on sd port, i don't find, how to activate D1,D2,D3 ?

In datasheet volume 1:

Table 10-3. SD Signals:

SD Card Data bits 0 to 3

Bidirectional port used to transfer data to and from SD/MMC card.

By default, after power up or reset, only D[0] is used for data transfer. A wider data

bus can be configured for data transfer, using D[3:0].

Note: Unused data lines will be tri-stated by the SoC logic.

Hello,

I use coreboot + uboot, i would like run kernel on sdmmc, but i have an problem for communicate with sdcard. I read cid & reference of card but when try read SCR(version & bus width) of card, doesn't work . For read scr, it's first Transfer mode in SDMA .

In coreboot my config for PcdSdcardMode is pci mode , if PcdSdcardMode= PCH_ACPI_MODE i don't see pci device 2296

1/ if sdcard is pci mode, it's fully functionnaly ?

2/How to activate device when PCH_ACPI_MODE in uboot or which register?

3/ maybe need configuration for SDMA ?

Hello, keziaha:

Thanks for your reply.

The information that can help you to activate D1, D2, and D3 is related to Host Control Register (HOST_CTL) specifically its fifth bit called SD8_BIT_MODE that selects the data width of the HC The HD shall select it to match the data width of the SD card. You can confirm this information is stated in section 29.6.13, on pages 1998 and 1899 of the https://edc.intel.com/Link.aspx?id=10001 N-Series Intel(R) Pentium(R) and Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processors: External Design Specification (EDS) - Volume 2 of 3 document # 547870.

On the other hand, related to boot the documented information is the provided in our communication of the past March 17th, 2017 10:09 AM. In case that you need to implement something out of the documentation, it should be tested and validated on your own.

We hope that this information may help you.

Best regards,

Carlos_A.
