Today marks the debut of mmc-utils 1.0 as the inaugural release for this de facto solution for managing MMC storage devices under Linux.
Ulf Hansson who is the Linux kernel maintainer for the MMC subsystem and related code today issued the mmc-utils 1.0 release. The mmc-utils 1.0 tool can be used for managing MMC storage devices with reading CSD registers, setting the write protect status for a device, setting write protect configurations for specified regions of a device, setting temporary write protection, setting the eMMC data sector size, enabling the eMMC BKOPS feature, enabling the eMMC hardware reset feature for a device, sending the sanitize command to a device, and reading/setting various other MMC device features.
The mmc-utils code originates back to 2012 but it’s taken until today for an actual release version to be tagged in Git.
Downloads and more details on mmc-utils 1.0 via the kernel.org Git repository.
