This document provides an overview and simplified specification for SDIO Card Type-A for Bluetooth:
- It defines the interface between a host and an SDIO Card for Bluetooth, which provides a Bluetooth radio and baseband functionality.
- The Type-A card interface provides only an HCI interface to the host, using SDIO commands to enable reliable and unreliable data transfer modes.
- It scopes the specification to Type-A cards, which are intended for hosts with sufficient processing capabilities like PDAs and laptops. Type-B cards provide more Bluetooth protocol layers and are for devices with limited processing like audio players.
