OMAP-L138 eMMC or Sdcard/MMC ?

Hi All,

We are currently using a standard MMC/SDcard in our design. However, due to some reliability issues we are thinking of moving to the eMMC storage. I have some questions in that regard:

1. Are there any benefits in terms of reliability ? ( eg. smarter controller in eMMC ? )

2. Since OMAP-L138 does not support eMMC, do we get the benefits of the eMMC (if any) even though we will be interfacing it with the MMC protocol ?

3. Lastly, will be able to boot from the eMMC just as we would from the SDcards (boot pins set to boot from mmc) ?

Thanks,

Arya B.
