Peripherals currently + sold at the general market include WLAN/BT modules, cameras, + fingerprint readers, barcode scanners. The driver is + implemented as an extension to the existing MMC bus, adding a + lot of new SDIO-specific bus methods. A prototype of the driver + for Marvell SDIO WLAN/BT (Avastar 88W8787) module is also being + developed, using the existing Linux driver as the reference.</p> + + <p>SDIO card detection and initialization already work, most + needed bus methods are implemented and tested.
