Overview

This device driver controls MultiMediaCards (MMCs) and Embedded MultiMediaCards (eMMCs) by using the dedicated interfaces which are embedded in various MCUs.

This driver allows the updating and reading of data by calling user API functions. It is also an FIT module which supports our Firmware Integration Technology (FIT), so sample code for it is easy to integrate with user applications in combination with other FIT modules. Also, operation with DMAC or DTC transfer can be implemented by combining the driver with the DMAC FIT module or DTC FIT module. The driver is robust against mechanical vibration, so is suitable for industrial use.
