+      <p>SDIO is an interface designed as an extension of the existing
+	SD card standard, to allow connecting different peripherals to
+	the host with the standard SD controller. Peripherals
+	currently sold at the general market include WLAN/BT modules,
+	cameras, fingerprint readers, and barcode scanners.
+	Additionally SDIO is used to connect some peripherals in
+	products like Chromebooks and Wandboard.  A prototype of the
+	driver for the Marvell SDIO WLAN/BT (Avastar 88W8787) module
+	is also being developed, using the existing Linux driver as
+	the reference.</p>
+
+      <p>SDIO card detection and initialization already work, most
+	needed bus methods are implemented and tested.</p>
+
+      <p>WiFi driver is able to load a firmware onto the card and
+	initialize it.  A rewrite of the MMC stack as a transport
+	layer for CAM framework is in progress. This will allow to
+	utilize the well-tested CAM locking model and debug features.</p>
+    </body>
+
+    <help>
+      <task>SDIO stack: finish CAM migration. The initialization of
+	MMC/SD card is implemented in the XPT layer, but cannot be
+	tested with the real hardware because of lack of any device
+	drivers that implement peripheral drivers and SIMs for CAM
+	MMC. The plan is to use a modified version of BeagleBone Black
+	SDHCI controller driver for SIM and a modified version of
+	mmcsd(4) as a peripheral driver.</task>
+
+      <task>Marvell SDIO WiFi: connect to the &os; network stack,
+	write the code to implement required functions (such as
+	sending/receiving data, network scanning and so on).</task>
