Is this somewhat configurable in runtime? The configuration is done by devicetree via pin muxing. AFAIK both SD controller are available on the same pins (2 pin groups = pin 22 to 27 + pin 48 to 53). So it's possible to use both SD controllers at the same time with different pin groups. This is necessary to use Wifi via SDIO on the RPi 3 while the other controller handles SD card with the rootfs. > > Is the WIFI module a removable SDIO card?
