# SD SPI Host Driver

[中文]

## Overview

The SD SPI host driver allows communication with one or more SD cards using the SPI Master driver, which utilizes the SPI host. Each card is accessed through an SD SPI device, represented by an SD SPI handle `sdspi_dev_handle_t`, which returns when the device is attached to an SPI bus by calling `sdspi_host_init_device()`. It is important to note that the SPI bus should be initialized beforehand by `spi_bus_initialize()`.

With the help of SPI Master Driver the SD SPI host driver based on, the SPI bus can be shared among SD cards and other SPI devices. The SPI Master driver will handle exclusive access from different tasks.

The SD SPI driver uses software-controlled CS signal.

## How to Use

Firstly, use the macro `SDSPI_DEVICE_CONFIG_DEFAULT` to initialize the structure `sdspi_device_config_t`, which is used to initialize an SD SPI device. This macro will also fill in the default pin mappings, which are the same as the pin mappings of the SDMMC host driver. Modify the host and pins of the structure to desired value. Then call `sdspi_host_init_device` to initialize the SD SPI device and attach to its bus.

Then use the `SDSPI_HOST_DEFAULT` macro to initialize the `sdmmc_host_t` structure, which is used to store the state and configurations of the upper layer (SD/SDIO/MMC driver). Modify the `slot` parameter of the structure to the SD SPI device SD SPI handle just returned from `sdspi_host_init_device`. Call `sdmmc_card_init` with the `sdmmc_host_t` to probe and initialize the SD card.

Now you can use SD/SDIO/MMC driver functions to access your card!

## Other Details

Only the following driver's API functions are normally used by most applications:

- `sdspi_host_init()`

- `sdspi_host_init_device()`

- `sdspi_host_remove_device()`

- `sdspi_host_deinit()`

Other functions are mostly used by the protocol level SD/SDIO/MMC driver via function pointers in the `sdmmc_host_t` structure. For more details, see SD/SDIO/MMC Driver.

Note

SD over SPI does not support speeds above `SDMMC_FREQ_DEFAULT` due to the limitations of the SPI driver.

Warning

If you want to share the SPI bus among SD card and other SPI devices, there are some restrictions, see Sharing the SPI Bus Among SD Cards and Other SPI Devices.

### Functions

esp_err_t sdspi_host_init(void)

  Initialize SD SPI driver.

  Note

  This function is not thread safe

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - other error codes may be returned in future versions

esp_err_t sdspi_host_init_device(const sdspi_device_config_t *dev_config, sdspi_dev_handle_t *out_handle)

  Attach and initialize an SD SPI device on the specific SPI bus.

  Note

  This function is not thread safe

  Note

  Initialize the SPI bus by `spi_bus_initialize()` before calling this function.

  Note

  The SDIO over sdspi needs an extra interrupt line. Call `gpio_install_isr_service()` before this function.

  Parameters:

    - dev_config -- pointer to device configuration structure

    - out_handle -- Output of the handle to the sdspi device.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if sdspi_host_init_device has invalid arguments

    - ESP_ERR_NO_MEM if memory can not be allocated

    - other errors from the underlying spi_master and gpio drivers

esp_err_t sdspi_host_remove_device(sdspi_dev_handle_t handle)

  Remove an SD SPI device.

  Parameters:

    handle -- Handle of the SD SPI device

  Returns:

    Always ESP_OK

esp_err_t sdspi_host_do_transaction(sdspi_dev_handle_t handle, sdmmc_command_t *cmdinfo)

  Send command to the card and get response.

  This function returns when command is sent and response is received, or data is transferred, or timeout occurs.

  Note

  This function is not thread safe w.r.t. init/deinit functions, and bus width/clock speed configuration functions. Multiple tasks can call sdspi_host_do_transaction as long as other sdspi_host_* functions are not called.

  Parameters:

    - handle -- Handle of the sdspi device

    - cmdinfo -- pointer to structure describing command and data to transfer

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT if response or data transfer has timed out

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_CRC if response or data transfer CRC check has failed

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE if the card has sent an invalid response

esp_err_t sdspi_host_set_card_clk(sdspi_dev_handle_t host, uint32_t freq_khz)

  Set card clock frequency.

  Currently only integer fractions of 40MHz clock can be used. For High Speed cards, 40MHz can be used. For Default Speed cards, 20MHz can be used.

  Note

  This function is not thread safe

  Parameters:

    - host -- Handle of the sdspi device

    - freq_khz -- card clock frequency, in kHz

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK on success

    - other error codes may be returned in the future

esp_err_t sdspi_host_get_real_freq(sdspi_dev_handle_t handle, int *real_freq_khz)

  Calculate working frequency for specific device.

  Parameters:

    - handle -- SDSPI device handle

    - real_freq_khz -- [out] output parameter to hold the calculated frequency (in kHz)

  bool gpio_wp_polarity

    GPIO write protect polarity 0 means "active low", i.e. card is protected when the GPIO is low; 1 means "active high", i.e. card is protected when GPIO is high.

  uint16_t duty_cycle_pos

    Duty cycle of positive clock, in 1/256th increments (128 = 50%/50% duty). Setting this to 0 (=not setting it) is equivalent to setting this to 128.

  int8_t wait_for_miso

    Timeout value in the driver will be waiting for MISO to be high before sending commands. Possible values are the following: 0: default value (40ms); -1: no waiting (0ms); 1-127: timeout in ms; else: invalid value, default will be used. This can be used to speed up transactions in certain scenarios but should not be needed if correct pull-up resistors are used. Use with care on devices where multiple SPI slaves use the same SPI bus.
