Abstract

The present invention presents techniques for transmitting application specific instruction between a host and a memory card. The commands for the application specific protocol are embedded along with a signature in the data portion of a transmission protocol that is used to communicate between the host the memory card. This allows for the transmission of application specific commands that lack a corresponding command in the transmission protocol to still be transmitted in that protocol. The method can be implemented on the host side either at the device driver level or the file level. In order to implement a read command in the application specific protocol, a write command in the first protocol with an embedded read command is first sent to a logical address, followed by a second read command to the same logical address.
