{IDF_TARGET_NAME}'s SDMMC host peripheral has two slots. Each slot can be used independently to connect to an SD card, SDIO device or eMMC chip.
..only:: esp32
- Slot 0 (:c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_0`) is an 8-bit slot. It uses ``HS1_*`` signals in the PIN MUX.
- Slot 1 (:c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1`) is a 4-bit slot. It uses ``HS2_*`` signals in the PIN MUX.
The slots are connected to {IDF_TARGET_NAME} GPIOs using IO MUX. Pin mappings of these slots are given in the table below.

The Card Detect and Write Protect signals can be routed to arbitrary pins using the GPIO matrix. To reserve the pins, set the ``cd`` and ``wp`` members of the :cpp:class:`sdmmc_slot_config_t` structure before calling :cpp:func:`sdmmc_host_init_slot`. Please note that it is not advised to specify a Card Detect pin when working with SDIO cards, because the card detect signal in ESP32 can also trigger SDIO slave interrupt.
Pins used by Slot 0 (``HS1_*``) are also used to connect the SPI flash chip in ESP32-WROOM and ESP32-WROVER modules. These pins cannot be shared between an SD card and SPI flash. If you need to use Slot 0, connect SPI flash to different pins and set eFuses accordingly.
Both slots (:c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_0`, :c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_SLOT_1`) support 1-, 4- and 8-line SD interface. The slots are connected to {IDF_TARGET_NAME} GPIOs using GPIO matrix. This means that any GPIO may be used for each of the SD card signals.
Other functions, such as the ones given below, will be called by the SD/MMC protocol layer via function pointers in the :cpp:class:`sdmmc_host_t` structure:
With the default initializers for :cpp:class:`sdmmc_host_t` and :cpp:class:`sdmmc_slot_config_t` (:c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_DEFAULT` and :c:macro:`SDMMC_SLOT_CONFIG_DEFAULT`), SDMMC Host driver will attempt to use the widest bus supported by the card (4 lines for SD, 8 lines for eMMC) and the frequency of 20 MHz.
In the designs where communication at 40 MHz frequency can be achieved, it is possible to increase the bus frequency by changing the ``max_freq_khz`` field of :cpp:class:`sdmmc_host_t`::
{IDF_TARGET_NAME} SDMMC Host can be configured to use arbitrary GPIOs for each of the signals. Configuration is performed by setting members of :cpp:class:`sdmmc_slot_config_t` structure. For example, to use GPIOs 1-6 for CLK, CMD, D0 - D3 signals, respectively::
It is also possible to configure Card Detect and Write Protect pins. Similar to other signals, set ``cd`` and ``wp`` members of the same structure::
slot.cd = GPIO_NUM_7;
slot.wp = GPIO_NUM_8;
``SDMMC_SLOT_CONFIG_DEFAULT`` sets both to ``GPIO_NUM_NC``, meaning that by default the signals are not used.
Once :cpp:class:`sdmmc_slot_config_t` structure is initialized this way, you can use it when calling :cpp:func:`sdmmc_host_init_slot` or one of the higher level functions, such as :cpp:func:`esp_vfs_fat_sdmmc_mount`.
DDR Mode for eMMC chips
-----------------------
By default, DDR mode will be used if:
- SDMMC host frequency is set to :c:macro:`SDMMC_FREQ_HIGHSPEED` in :cpp:class:`sdmmc_host_t` structure, and
- eMMC chip reports DDR mode support in its CSD register
DDR mode places higher requirements for signal integrity. To disable DDR mode while keeping :c:macro:`SDMMC_FREQ_HIGHSPEED` frequency, clear :c:macro:`SDMMC_HOST_FLAG_DDR` bit in ``flags`` field of :cpp:class:`sdmmc_host_t`::
