== Example: embedded Linux system equipped with an e.MMC ==
As explained in [[#Embedded Linux systems with eMMC or SD cards|this section]], e.MMC's provide specific functionalities for device's health monitoring. In practice, these components expose some registers that make health-related information available to the host.
The health status registers can be exploited to implement a monitoring mechanism as well. For example, a user-space application can poll periodically the status of the device and take actions accordingly if the wear-out exceeds predefined thresholds.
Last but not least, it is worth remembering that advanced proprietary off-line tools may also be available for health monitoring. For instance, Western Digital provides such tools for its devices. For more information, please contact our [mailto:sales@dave.eu Sales Department].
