4.6 MultiMediaCard Communication
All communication between host and cards is controlled by the host (master). The host sends
commands and, depending on the command, receives a corresponding response from the selected
card. In this chapter the commands to control the MultiMediaCard, the card responses and the
contents of the status and error field included in the responses, are defined.
