 CRC on the fly

 Every sector (512 bytes) is followed by 16

bytes CRC16

 Old algo: embed the CRC16 into data

pattern using “image format tool”.

 New algo: calculate CRC16 on the fly

through Bios calls:
_M_StartInjectEmmcCrcs
_M_StopInjectEmmcCrcs

 Registers
OCR (Access mode, card power up status bit (busy))

CID (device ID)

CSD (C_SIZE, C_SIZE_MULT ,READ_BL_LEN, ERASE_GRP_SIZE, ERASE_GRP_MULT,

WP_GRP_SIZE, COPY, FILE_FORMAT)

ECSD(HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE, HC_WP_GRP_SIZE, SEC_COUNT, BUS_WIDTH,

PARTITION_CONFIG, RST_n_FUNCTION, PARTITIONING_SUPPORT, PARTITIONS_ATTRIBUTE,

PARTITION_SETTING_COMPLETED, GP_SIZE_MULT, ENH_SIZE_MULT, ENH_START_ADDR )
