# mcu_hosted_sdio_sdmmc_combined — Host
Demonstrates running ESP-Hosted's SDIO transport on the same SDMMC
controller that also hosts an external SD card — the two share the
bus driver but live on different slots. The host brings up Wi-Fi
through ESP-Hosted on SDMMC slot 1 (on-board ESP32-C6), mounts a
FAT-formatted SD card on SDMMC slot 0, scans Wi-Fi before *and* after
filesystem I/O to confirm the radio survives the card init, then
writes / renames / reads a file via the standard FATFS / VFS
interface.

Select the transport (SDIO, matching the co-processor) and set the SD-card slot / pins:
```bash
cd examples/mcu_hosted_sdio_sdmmc_combined/mcu_host
idf.py set-target esp32p4
idf.py menuconfig
```
```text

└── Configure host
└── Host transport
├── Communication bus (co-processor <== bus ==> host)
│ ├── ( ) SPI Full Duplex
│ ├── (X) SDIO <── default (match the co-processor)

├── CLK GPIO number ⎬ prompted on S3 (defaults 35/36/37/38/33/34);
├── D0 GPIO number │ fixed on P4 (CMD 44, CLK 43, D0-D3 39-42)
├── D1 / D2 / D3 GPIO number ⎭ (D1-D3 shown only in 4-line mode)
├── [*] SD power supply comes from internal LDO IO (READ HELP!) <── default on (P4)
└── (4) LDO ID ← P4 internal LDO for SD VDD
```
Host dependency config is **pre-set in `sdkconfig.defaults`** (do not remove):
```text
CONFIG_FATFS_VFS_FSTAT_BLKSIZE=4096 # FATFS tuning for the shared SD card
CONFIG_WIFI_RMT_NVS_ENABLED=n # (ESP32-P4) from sdkconfig.defaults.esp32p4 — disable Wi-Fi RMT NVS
```
Then flash and monitor:
```bash
idf.py -p <host_usb_serial_port> flash monitor
```
