Abstract:
A method and system for data transfer between a sector-oriented mass storage medium and a host device capable of interfacing with a byte-oriented storage medium using an HS-MMC physical interface in the host device. Existing MMC commands such as FAST_IO command can be used to pass the control data to the sector-oriented mass storage medium and also to read the status of that medium. It is possible to use the GEN_CMD command for data transfer, for example. Because the command in data transfer is similar to ATA protocol, ATA write commands and ATA read commands can also be used for data transfer to and from the sector-oriented mass storage medium.
