Components

  • sdmmc: SD protocol layer driver, it provides SD protocol related definitions and interfaces. With corresponding implementation drivers, sdmmc APIs can help you:
    • send commands to slave devices
    • send and receive data
    • handle error conditions within the bus
  • esp_driver_sdmmc: SDMMC Host driver for ESP SDMMC hardware, it implements the sdmmc protocol interfaces.
  • esp_driver_sdspi: SDSPI Host driver for ESP GPSPI hardware, it implements the sdmmc protocol interfaces.

Dependency

  • esp_driver_sdmmc is in driver layer (G2), it relies on sdmmc
  • esp_driver_sdspi is in driver layer (G2), it relies on sdmmc
  • sdmmc does not and should not rely on esp_driver_sdmmc or esp_driver_sdspi. Though sdmmc is independent, it still stays in G2.

Configuration Options

CONFIG_SD_ENABLE_SDIO_SUPPORT

This configuration option allows you to enable/disable SDIO support. By default this option is enabled. Consider disabling SDIO support (CONFIG_SD_ENABLE_SDIO_SUPPORT=n) when card is Memory-only card and not when Combo cards which provide both I/O functionality and memory storage.
