Eltan Products SD BOOT
SD BOOT

Eltan created the BIOS support to add SD Card, MMC cards and e-MMC devices as boot device. Modules are available for integration into the Phoenix Technologies and Award BIOS Code bases. The support is also available as a standard Option ROM.

SD, SDHC and MMC Cards and e-MMC devices are very small, low cost and high capacity. They can now be used as boot- and mass storage device when directly connected to an industry standard SDIO host adapter. The host adapter is integrated in the Intel(R) System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W so no additional hardware is required to support these devices.

To fully exploit the product, the hardware needs to have an integrated SDIO support and the Operating system needs to be able to BOOT from SD Cards.
