RFC: Adding HPI to prioritize Reads or Writes

2010-06-08 Thread Johnson, Charles F
Folks - I'm wondering what this list thinks of making a change to the mmc driver to make use the the High Priority Interrupt (HPI) feature that was added in the eMMC 4.41 spec to give priority to reads over writes. Part of this could be writing a custom i/o scheduler that just resorts the reque

SD 2.0 vs SD 3.0

2010-02-09 Thread Johnson, Charles F
Looking at the sdcard.org site, it appears that they have not published an updated "Simplified" spec. Does anyone know, will that be required in order to make the Linux MMC/SD drivers to support SD 3.0 cards ?? Charles Johnson Intel Corporation charles.f.john...@intel.com -- To unsubscribe fr

UFS Drivers - Anyone looking into?

Given that JEDEC is spec'ing UFS which appears to be the follow-on to eMMC, does anyone know if any driver work has started on this ?? With SCSI over Unipro - I would expect a Unipro transport driver to be added to the SCSI subsystem ? Any thoughts? Charles Johnson Ultra-Mobility Group UPSG Arch

RFC: Shared eMMC Controller

2009-10-13 Thread Johnson, Charles F
I'm working on a system where we have a need to share the eMMC host controller with both the main CPU and a micro-controller. So to coodinate access we need to define a mutex mechanism between the two. This is possible since there is some shared non-cachable static ram that both have access to

Comment Needed: Shared eMMC controller

2009-09-22 Thread Johnson, Charles F
I'd like to get some feedback from the eMMC/MMC/SD driver community. We are considering a design where we need to share the eMMC controller between the main host CPU and a secondary microcontroller. A hardware mutex would be added to coordinate access. My question here is, if we added this thr
