4.8.3 SDIO Device Connections

An SDIO controller is often used to interface to medium bandwidth peripherals such as a Wi-Fi controller. The connection example in Figure 22 is from the Smartbook Development System. This shows a Wi-Fi/BT module interfacing to the Tegra 250 SDIO1, UART3 and DAP4 interfaces as well as several GPIO pins for control. Only the signals between the Tegra 250 and the module are shown.

4.8.4 Unused Pins

Any unused data pins can be left unconnected. If the HSMMC or SD/SDIO interfaces will not be supported at all, then any unused signal pin can be left unconnected or configured for another function or GPIO. If none of the signals are used on one of the digital power domains (except VDDIO_DDR and VDDIO_SYS which must be powered for normal operation), then the associated power rail can be left unconnected or tied to GND.
