└─────────┘      └─────────┘

Signal Integrity:

  • Impedance: 50Ω ±10% for CLK, CMD, DAT lines
  • Trace length matching: DAT0-7 within ±5mm, CLK/CMD within ±10mm
  • Route as controlled impedance: Use microstrip or stripline
  • Avoid stubs: No via stubs on high-speed signals

  • Keep high-speed signals away from switching noise sources
  • Use ground plane directly under eMMC signals
  • Fanout pattern: Route from controller to eMMC with minimal vias

Software Integration

Linux Kernel Support:

eMMC is well-supported in Linux kernel:

# Device tree configuration example
emmc: mmc@1c0f000 {
    compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-a64-mmc";
    reg = <0x01c0f000 0x1000>;
    clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_MMC0>, <&ccu CLK_MMC0>;
    resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_MMC0>;
    interrupts = <GIC_SPI 60 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
    bus-width = <8>;
    non-removable;
    cap-mmc-highspeed;
    cap-mmc-hw-reset;
    mmc-hs200-1_8v;
    status = "okay";
};

Driver Configuration:

  • Use mmc_block and mmc_core kernel modules
  • Enable HS200/HS400 support in device tree
  • Configure voltage (1.8V or 3.3V) appropriately
  • Enable hardware reset if available

Partitioning Strategy:

SDINBDG4-8G Partition Example (8GB total):

Filesystem Recommendations:

FilesystemCharacteristicsBest For
ext4Full-featured Linux FSGeneral Linux embedded
F2FSFlash-friendly FSHigh write workloads
squashfsRead-only compressedRoot filesystem (immutable)
FAT32Universal compatibilityShared data, bootloader

Boot Configuration

Boot Sequence:

  1. BootROM loads bootloader from eMMC boot partition
  2. Bootloader (U-Boot) loads kernel from eMMC
  3. Kernel mounts root filesystem from eMMC
  4. System boots to userspace

eMMC Boot Partitions:

  • Boot0/Boot1: 4MB each (bootloader storage)
  • RPMB: Replay Protected Memory Block (security)
  • User Area: Main storage partition (7.4GB usable)

Configuration:

# Enable hardware boot partition (Linux)
echo 1 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro  # Make writable
dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 bs=512  # Write bootloader
mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0  # Enable boot from boot0

Firmware and OTA Updates

Update Strategies:

A/B Partitioning:

  • Two complete system images (A and B)
  • Update inactive partition, reboot to switch
  • Rollback capability if update fails
  • Requires 2x storage (4GB per image)

Delta Updates:

  • Transfer only changed blocks
  • Smaller download size
  • Faster update process
  • Requires update software (e.g., Mender, SWUpdate)

Security Considerations:

  • Sign update images cryptographically
  • Verify signature before applying
  • Use eMMC secure erase for old data
  • Enable RPMB for secure storage
