SMARC-iMX8M Computer on Module User’s Manual v.1.0 

2.1.12 SD/SDMMC Interface 

SMARC‐iMX8M

 is configured to support two 

MMC

 controllers. One is used 

for on‐module 8‐bit 

eMMC

 support, and the other one is used for external 

SDHC/SDIO

  interface.  The 

SMARC‐iMX8M 

module  supports  one  4‐bit 

SDIO

 

interface,  per  the 

SMARC

  2.0  specification.  The 

SDIO

  interface  uses  3.3V 

signaling,  per  the 

SMARC

  spec  and  for  compatibility  with  commonly 

available 

SDIO

 cards. 

The following figure shows the 

SDIO

 block diagram.
