16.5.12.4. Alternative Boot Operation

The alternative boot operation differs from the previous boot operation in that software uses the SD/SDIO GO_IDLE_STATE command to boot the card, rather than holding down the CMD line of the card. The alternative boot operation can be performed only if bit 0 in the BOOT_INFO register is set to 1. BOOT_INFO is located at offset 228 in the EXT_CSD registers.

For detailed information about alternative boot operation, refer to the following specifications available on the JEDEC website:

  • JEDEC Standard No. 84‑A441
