SD 2.0 Protocol Analyzer
The Frontline® SD 2.0 Protocol Analyzer allows developers and engineers to thoroughly analyze SD,
SDIO, MMC and SPI communicaons, as well as Bluetooth® data carried over the SDIO physical layer,
by simultaneously capturing, decoding, displaying, ltering, and detecng errors - all live.
Powered by USB, this small form-factor analyzer provides non-intrusive analysis without any
compromises; the Frontline SD comes loaded with support for SPI and MMC specicaon, and
captures data at High-Speed 480 Mbps - it’s the ideal eld or bench tool for developers of SD/
SDIO/MMC-equipped devices or Bluetooth devices that use SDIO technology.
Big Window into a Small Format
The Frontline SD provides developers and engineers with one compact and portable point of access
to mulple bus types, including SD, SDIO, MMC and SPI, and supports 1 and 4-bit modes ensuring
compability with current specicaons. Not only does the device provide a non-intrusive window
into nave-format bus performance and command and response tokens, but also allows Bluetooth
developers to capture Bluetooth data as it’s transported over the SDIO bus.
Once captured, data can be viewed, debugged and target-searched for errors with the powerful and
mature Frontline soware. The Frontline SD can signicantly reduce the me you spend debugging
SD/SDIO device protocol and ming issues, and help to bring your SD, SDIO, MMC, SPI or Bluetooth
product to market faster.
