MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, i want to write an SDIO driver. There is not much information of what an SDIO driver is supposed to do or any sample sdio drivers. I have a few questions regarding that: 1) What is an SDIO Driver?. 2) Is SDIO a protocol/standard to which all devices confirm?. 3) Is it a generic driver ?. (Same for a set of devices) or different for each device? Suppose i want to run an SDIO WLAN Card?. will the manufacturer support it or an will a Generic Driver "drive" it? 4) What is a SD Driver? 5) What are the differences between SD Driver and SDIO Driver?. 6) Are there any sample/Open Source SDIO drivers available in Linux Kernel or else where?.If, not when can one expect/is anyone working on it currently?.
