COPY

—This bit marks the card as an original (‘0’) or non-original (‘1’). Once set to non-original, this bit cannot

be reset to original. The definition of “original” and “non-original” is application dependent and changes no card
characteristics.

PERM_WRITE_PROTECT

—Permanently protects the whole card content, except the secured protected area,

against overwriting or erasing (all write and erase commands for this card are permanently disabled). The default
value is ‘0’, i.e., not permanently write protected.

TMP_WRITE_PROTECT

—Temporarily protects the whole card content, except the secured protected area, from

being overwritten or erased (all write and erase commands for this card are temporarily disabled). This bit can be set
and reset. The default value is ‘0’, i.e., not write protected.

FILE_FORMAT—

Indicates the file format on the card. This field is read-only for ROM. The following formats

are defined.

CRC

—The CRC field carries the check sum for the CSD contents. The checksum has to be recalculated by the host

for any CSD modification. The default corresponds to the initial CSD contents.

3.5.4. SCR Register

In addition to the CSD register, there is another configuration register that is named SD CARD Configuration
Register (SCR). SCR provides information on SD Card's special features that were configured into the given card.
The size of SCR register is 64 bit. This register shall be set in the factory by the SD Card manufacturer. Table 3-23
describes the SCR register content.
