Appendix A Application Programming Interface

void mmcInit(void); Initialises the MMC/SD SPI card interface, and enables the required signals. Example
mmcInit();

nsigned int mmcReset(void); u Resets the MMC/SD card interface, and configures the device fr efB 17.0sd via SPI

AN037

Interfacing to an MMC or SD Card via SPI

Version 1.0

nsigned int mmcRead(unsigned long sector, nsigned char *buffer); u u Read a block of data from the MMC/SD card into a buffer. Parameters sector *buffer Returns 0 if the read was successful, otherwise returns the response from the MMC/SD card. Example
mmcRead(sector, buffer); // Read the sector to the buffer

The MMC/SD block to read Character pointer to the buffer used to store the read data

nsigned int mmcWrite(unsigned long sector, nsigned char *buffer); u u Write the buffer data to the MMC/SD card block. Parameters sector *buffer Returns 0 if the write was successful, otherwise returns the response from the MMC/SD card. Example
mmcWrite(sector, buffer); // Write the buffer to the specified sector

The MMC/SD block to read Character pointer to the buffer used to store the data to write
