SecureMMC card.

I would like to know if the SecureMMC can be used with the Himalaya. I realy need to use the secure features of this card.

Thank you.

I havent heard of that particular type of mmc, I think the "secure" part of "secure digital" refers to the little slider switch which when moved to the on position renders the memory card read only and so is secure from being overwritten.

Please see:

This card isn't only a MMC card, it have secure encryption inside, suitable to protect data, the keys and encryption/decryption are inside the card. The device is a tampered resistant device, the keys will be erased if you try to open the card.

That site talks about SD (Secure Digitial) cards, which although are the same format as MMC cards, are not the same thing.

Both MMC cards and SD cards do work in the XDA and XDA2 though!

it's not called secure mmc it's called SD as in secure digital
it have the same packet as mmc and it's backward compatible with mmc
but there is where the similarities end they are very different internally
here is some reading

and yes they work the xda both 1 and 2 dont have mmc slots they have SD slots which are backward compatible with mmc

how to take advantage of the encryption i dont know try googleing around for it
