[U-Boot] mmc erase Command and Bad Sectors

[Aron L. Phillips]

To whom it may concern:

I am not sure how this email list works but I am interested in knowing what exactly does the mmc erase command do? I know it erases the mmc, but in what manner? Does it clear bad sector marks or for that matter, place them? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated. The type of mmc I am using is a Kingston eMMC data flash that is similar to an SD card on an IC.
Sincerely,
