The CID and RCA are used for identifying and addressing the MultiMediaCard. The CSD contains the
card specific data record. This record is a set of information fields to define the operation conditions of the
MultiMediaCard.
For the user, the CID is read only register. The CSD contains read only area and some of one time or
multiple programmable area by the customer or provider. They are read out by special commands (refer to
Chapter “Commands”). The RCA registers are write only registers. Unlike CID and CSD, RCA looses its
contents after powering down the card. Its value is reassigned in each initialization cycle. The
MultiMediaCard registers usage in SPI mode is summarized in Table “MultiMediaCard Registers in SPI
