sdmmc: fix explanation of flash voltage regulator configuration efuses
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- low level on GPIO12 corresponds to 3.3V output, not 1.8V
- add espefuse.py commands to burn efuses
- add XPD_SDIO_REG to the list of efuses which must be set

- For boards which don't use the internal regulator, GPIO12 can be pulled high.
- On boards which use the internal regulator and a 3.3V flash chip, GPIO12 should be pulled up high, which is compatible with SD card operation.
- For boards which use 1.8V flash chip, GPIO12 needs to be low at reset.
- For boards which use 3.3V flash chip, GPIO12 needs to be low at reset.
* In this case, internal pullup can be enabled using a `gpio_pullup_en(GPIO_NUM_12);` call. Most SD cards work fine when an internal pullup on GPIO12 line is enabled. Note that if ESP32 experiences a power-on reset while the SD card is sending data, high level on GPIO12 can be latched into the bootstrapping register, and ESP32 will enter a boot loop until external reset with correct GPIO12 level is applied.
* Another option is to program flash voltage selection efuses: set `SDIO_TIEH=0` and `SDIO_FORCE=1`. This will permanently select 1.8v output voltage for the internal regulator, and GPIO12 will not be used as a bootstrapping pin anymore. Then it is safe to connect a pullup resistor to GPIO12. This option is suggested for production use.

The following commands can be used to program flash voltage selection efuses **to 3.3V**:

```sh
# Override flash regulator configuration using efuses
components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py burn_efuse XPD_SDIO_FORCE
# Select 3.3V output voltage
components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py burn_efuse XPD_SDIO_TIEH
# Enable internal voltage regulator
components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py burn_efuse XPD_SDIO_REG
```
