Re: slow MMC over SPI

Fabio,

I'm running on a MPC8343.
The SD-Card is connected on the spi hardware controller.

All,

has anybody made some investigations about performance of a SD/MMC car=

on SPI ?

Actually I'm using various cards (different speed classes) on an SPI b=

of a MPC8343 cpu.
Everything is working fine basically, i.e. card is detected properly a=

block device can be mounted and used.

SPI clock is adjusted to the card's capabilities and is running quite
fast (>30MHz).

But between consecutive reads/writes there's a fixed gap of 2us thus
yielding a poor performance of approx. 300KBytes/sec.
The spi bus is utilized only ~10%.

Any ideas where this comes from ?
Ist it a fixed delay regarding to some kind of spec or is it possibly =

spi driver/mmc layer issue ?
