Description

The mmc command is used to control MMC(eMMC/SD) device.

The ‘mmc info’ command displays information (Manufacturer ID, OEM, Name, Bus Speed, Mode, …) of MMC device.

The ‘mmc read’ command reads raw data to memory address from MMC device with block offset and count.

The ‘mmc write’ command writes raw data to MMC device from memory address with block offset and count.

addr
memory address
blk#
start block offset
cnt
block count

The ‘mmc erase’ command erases cnt blocks on the MMC device starting at block blk#.

blk#
start block offset
cnt
block count

The ‘mmc rescan’ command scans the available MMC device.

The ‘mmc part’ command displays the list available partition on current mmc device.

The ‘mmc dev’ command shows or set current mmc device.

dev
device number to change
part
partition number to change

The ‘mmc list’ command displays the list available devices.

The ‘mmc wp’ command enables “power on write protect” function for boot partitions.

The ‘mmc bootbus’ command sets the BOOT_BUS_WIDTH field. (Refer to eMMC specification)

boot_bus_width
0x0
x1 (sdr) or x4(ddr) buswidth in boot operation mode (default)
0x1
x4 (sdr/ddr) buswidth in boot operation mode
0x2
x8 (sdr/ddr) buswidth in boot operation mode
0x3
Reserved
reset_boot_bus_width
0x0
Reset buswidth to x1, Single data reate and backward compatible timing after boot operation (default)
0x1
Retain BOOT_BUS_WIDTH and BOOT_MODE value after boot operation. This is relevant to Push-pull mode operation only
boot_mode
0x0
Use single data rate + backward compatible timing in boot operation (default)
0x1
Use single data rate + High Speed timing in boot operation mode
0x2
Use dual data rate in boot operation
0x3
Reserved

The ‘mmc partconf’ command shows or changes PARTITION_CONFIG field.

varname
When showing the PARTITION_CONFIG, an optional environment variable to store the current boot_partition value into.
boot_ack
boot acknowledge value
boot_partition
boot partition to enable for boot
0x0
Device not boot enabled(default)
0x1
Boot partition1 enabled for boot
0x2
Boot partition2 enabled for boot
0x7
User area enabled for boot
others
Reserved
partition_access
partitions to access

The ‘mmc bootpart-resize’ command changes sizes of boot and RPMB partitions.

dev
device number
boot part size MB
target size of boot partition
RPMB part size MB
target size of RPMB partition

The ‘mmc rst-function’ command changes the RST_n_FUNCTION field. WARNING : This is a write-once field. (Refer to eMMC specification)

value
0x0
RST_n signal is temporarily disabled (default)
0x1
RST_n signal is permanently enabled
0x2
RST_n signal is permanently disabled
0x3
Reserved

The ‘mmc info’ command displays device’s capabilities:

=> mmc info

The raw data can be read/written via ‘mmc read/write’ command:

=> mmc read 0x40000000 0x5000 0x100
MMC read: dev # 0, block # 20480, count 256 ... 256 blocks read: OK

=> mmc write 0x40000000 0x5000 0x10
MMC write: dev # 0, block # 20480, count 256 ... 256 blocks written: OK

The partition list can be shown via ‘mmc part’ command:

=> mmc part
Partition Map for MMC device 0  --   Partition Type: DOS

Part    Start Sector    Num Sectors     UUID            Type
