SYNOPSIS

mmc [<command> [<args>]] [--help]

mmc [<command>] --help

DESCRIPTION

mmc-utils is a tool for configuring MMC storage devices from userspace.

COMMANDS AND OPTIONS

Shows the abbreviated help menu in the terminal.
Print extcsd data from <device>.
Determine the eMMC writeprotect status of <device>.
Set the eMMC writeprotect status of <device>. This sets the eMMC to be write-protected until next boot.
Set the eMMC data sector size to 4KB by disabling emulation on <device>.
create general purpose partition for the <device>. Dry-run only unless -y or -c is passed. Use -c if more partitioning settings are still to come. To set enhanced attribute to general partition being created set <enh_attr> to 1 else set it to 0. To set extended attribute to general partition set <ext_attr> to 1,2 else set it to 0. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Enable the enhanced user area for the <device>. Dry-run only unless -y or -c is passed. Use -c if more partitioning settings are still to come. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Enable write reliability per partition for the <device>. Dry-run only unless -y or -c is passed. Use -c if more partitioning settings are still to come. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Print the response to STATUS_SEND (CMD13).
Enable the boot partition for the <device>. Disable the boot partition for the <device> with <boot_partition> set to 0. To receive acknowledgment of boot from the card set <send_ack> to 1, else set it to 0.
Set Boot Bus Conditions. <boot_mode> must be "single_backward|single_hs|dual" <reset_boot_bus_conditions> must be "x1|retain" <boot_bus_width> must be "x1|x4|x8"
Enable the eMMC BKOPS feature on <device>. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Permanently enable the eMMC H/W Reset feature on <device>. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Permanently disable the eMMC H/W Reset feature on <device>. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Send Sanitize command to the <device>. This will delete the unmapped memory region of the device.
Program authentication key which is 32 bytes length and stored in the specified file. Also you can specify '-' instead of key file path to read the key from stdin. NOTE! This is a one-time programmable (unreversible) change.
Counter value for the <rpmb device> will be read to stdout.
Blocks of 256 bytes will be read from <rpmb device> to output file or stdout if '-' is specified. If key is specified - read data will be verified. Instead of regular path you can specify
Block of 256 bytes will be written from data file to <rpmb device>. Also you can specify '-' instead of key file path or data file to read the data from stdin.
Enable the eMMC cache feature on <device>. NOTE! The cache is an optional feature on devices >= eMMC4.5.
Disable the eMMC cache feature on <device>. NOTE! The cache is an optional feature on devices >= eMMC4.5.
<cmd> --help
Show detailed help for a command or subset of commands.

EXAMPLES

echo -n AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFFGGGGHHHH | mmc rpmb write-key /dev/mmcblk0rpmb -
$ (awk 'BEGIN {while (c++<256) printf "a"}' | echo -n AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFFGGGGHHHH) | mmc rpmb write-block /dev/mmcblk0rpmb 0x02 - -

$ echo -n AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFFGGGGHHHH | mmc rpmb read-block /dev/mmcblk0rpmb 0x02 2 /tmp/block -
$ mmc rpmb read-block /dev/mmcblk0rpmb 0x02 2 /tmp/block
