METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND A TARGET INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE IN A SECURE DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT CARD THROUGH A SECURE DIGITAL INTERFACE, AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

摘要

A method for communication between an electronic device and a target input/output (I/O) device in a secure digital input/output (SDIO) card through a secure digital (SD) interface is provided. The SDIO card includes a SDIO controller. The method includes the steps of: configuring the electronic device to write an I/O command packet at a designated address accessible to both the electronic device and the SDIO controller, the I/O command packet including a command for controlling the operation of the target I/O device; and configuring the SDIO controller to control the operation of the target I/O device according to the I/O command packet written at the designated address.
