SDIOWorx
Overview
SDIOWorx is an OS independent embedded SD/SDIO Stack architecture framework, which enables software designers to develop and integrate SDIO support in their reference designs and end products. SDIOWorx is supported on embedded Linux versions 2.4.x and 2.6.x, Nucleus Plus RTOS, ThreadX RTOS and uITRON OS platforms.

SDIOWorx comes complete with driver support for SDIO Host controllers and client cards/devices conforming to SD specification 1.10. The software components in the embedded SDIOWorx framework support SD/MMC/SDHC Storage and SDIO controllers/peripherals in an embedded device.

The SDIOWorx package includes: the SDIO Host Controller Driver, SDIO Stack, SD/MMC/SDHC Storage Drivers and an optional SDIO-WiFi driver for supported WLAN chipset/cards/modules

SDIOWorx includes Host Controller Driver support for several SoC platforms from Marvell,Freescale,Samsung,Texas Instruments,Conexant and Atmel. ,apart from the standards based SD Host controllers.
SDIOWorx includes Host Controller Driver support for the following hardware platforms:
  • Standards based SDIO Host controllers,
  • Marvell XScale PXA270/PXA320,
  • Freescale’s iMX21/iMX31/iMX27,
  • Samsung S3C24x0,
  • Texas Instruments’ OMAP2420/2430/3430 and DaVinci DM6446/DM35x,
  • Raza MicroElectronics’ Alchemy AU1200 and
  • Atmel AVR32/AP7000 / AT9SAM92600

Benefits to Designers:
  • Savings on investment required for building an SD/SDIO Bus Driver from ground-up
  • Enables addition of SD/SDIO card support to embedded devices in with minimal effort and time
  • Reduces Time-to-Market for the Host Controller silicon vendors and the Peripheral Card vendors
  • Production ready SDIO-WiFi drivers for QualcommAtheros and Marvell 802.11a/b/g/n chipsets for connected device designs
