emmc chip on SDMMC3

Tim2016 · August 13, 2019, 8:34am

Hello,
We have a custom board with a eMMC chip (Samsung KLMCG2KETM-B041) connected to SDMMC3 (eMMC chip CLK/CMD/DATA is connected to Nano pin #229, 227, 219, 221, 223, 225).
I modified the dts files to enable the SDMMC3 controller:

Hi, SDMMC3 is for SD card, why do you use it as eMMC?

Tim2016 · August 14, 2019, 3:31am

Hi Trumany,
We want to add storage size on board.
Thanks!

Trumany · August 14, 2019, 3:37am

Are you using bridge design to convert eMMC to SDIO?

spenseryao · August 14, 2019, 5:13am

Hi Trumany,
Here is the HW Engineer for this project,No bridge design just like the Jetson Tegra K1 with EMMC reference design,see attached schematic.

Trumany · August 14, 2019, 5:46am

From hw side, this kind of your design is not validated on Jetson nano, SDMMC3 is only used for SD card per OEM DG. It is not guaranteed to be workable. Not sure if it can work, did you try manually enable card detection (pin 208)?

WayneWWW · August 14, 2019, 6:23am

Hi Tim,

Please check the device tree source of rel-32.2 and refer to sdhci@700b0600 for how we configure the sdmmc controller for emmc.

Tim2016 · August 15, 2019, 3:04am

Hello,
I trace the kernel and found mmc1 MMC_CAP2_NO_MMC flag is set so can’t enter mmc_attach_mmc() for mm1.
so I modify the kernel source:

There are still many errors, but now we can recognize this emmc chip.

Could you suggest how we configure SDMMC3 for emmc? Thanks!

Hello,
I tried to configure the sdmmc controller for emmc referring to sdhci@700b0600.
But still can’t work.

Thanks!

WayneWWW · August 19, 2019, 7:44am

I think this may be out of our support scope for Jetson Nano. Even OEM design guide does not cover your case.
Could you find a nvidia sales to highlight your issue?

FrankPCP · September 5, 2019, 6:48am

Hi WayneWWW,
In the Jetson nano product design guide, the sdmmc3 can be designed as sd card.
[url]https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/jetson-nano-product-design-guide[/url]

After doing some research, I have some conclutions below.

The SD card and eMMC actually use the same signal. The main difference is eMMC only have 4 bit data line and SD has 8. eMMC support 1-bit, 4-bit,and 8-bit mode.
[url]http://www.zeroplus.com.tw/software_download/201207-eMMC_en.pdf[/url] (see page 5)
So, there are some conversion boards in the market to convert an eMMC chip to microSD card form factor, like this:
[url]https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=208[/url]

I wonder why sdmmc3 cannot support eMMC.

WayneWWW · September 5, 2019, 7:04am

Hi FrankPCP,

Are you using A02 modules or B00 modules exactly?

FrankPCP · September 5, 2019, 7:11am

Hi WayneWWW,
We are using B00 module.

Thanks.

WayneWWW · September 5, 2019, 7:42am

Please refer to this topic which enables sd card on sdmmc3.

You may copy the emmc parameters from sdmmc4 to sdmmc3 device tree.

FrankPCP · September 6, 2019, 2:24am

Hi WayneWWW,
I followed the instructions in the topic below, but the eMMC still cannot be detected.

Here are the changes I made in device tree.

Hi WayneWWW,
I’m sorry. I have to correct my previous statement. I can detect the eMMC now but observe a lot of error messages keep showing.

FrankPCP · September 9, 2019, 2:34am

Hi WayneWWW,
I found these error messages is caused by the lack of prod settings. I copy the prod_c_hs200 of the “sdhci@700b0600” to “sdhci@700b0400” directly. The system will crash. Please see the log.txt. Could you please advise me what the correct prod setting is ?
log.txt (27.8 KB)

WayneWWW · September 9, 2019, 3:19am

/hardware/nvidia/soc/t210/kernel-dts/tegra210-soc/tegra210-prods.dtsi has more prod setting for sdmmc4.

Please check it too.

FrankPCP · September 9, 2019, 3:43am

Hi WayneWWW,
The file you mentioned was exactly the one I copy prod setting from.
Thanks.
