Overview
EMMC Reader Lite is an open-source printed circuit board by squidgeefish, from the squidgeefish/eMMC-Reader repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 40.8 × 23.6 mm with 36 parts on 54 nets, routed with 424 tracks and 32 vias.
It is built around the W25X20CLSNIG, LM1117MP-1.8 and TXS02612RTW. Its parts include 15 resistors, 10 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 diodes and 2 connectors.

A GL3224-based eMMC reader
Why?
The Sabrent USB readers that had this chip were recently (2022?) updated to use the 48-QFN version with dual LUNs. This happened to break the single-bit eMMC mode, and that makes me very sad. Rather than trawling eBay for NOS packaging, I figured I should just make a better tool.
This also includes a TXS02612 that is being used as a 1.8V level shifter like on an Exploitee.rs Low Voltage eMMC Adapter because those are great.
Note that this is a mux, which isn't necessary in this application. I could wire it up to an SD card socket, but that's overkill. According to TI's Product Overview for SDIO voltage translators, the TXS0206 is a non-mux version of this, but it only supports 60Mbps (as opposed to 120Mbps) and is a WCSP. I've gotten more than 60Mbps out of an exploitee.rs board in single-bit mode, so I'm going to stick with the proven chip.
Why not USB-C?
Because I don't trust you not to break it...
The GL3224 supports USB 3.0 (5Gbps). To implement that with a USB-C connector, there are two options:
- Use a plug and hook up one pair of
SS[R,T]Xlines as well as a 5K1 pulldown on CC1. The computer into which this is plugged will have to figure out which pair is live. - Use a receptacle and include a SuperSpeed-capable mux like an
HD3SS3220since you can't trust a user to plug the cable in the "right" way.
USB-C plugs suck because they need thin PCBs and you will break one off in your computer at some point. Unless you use a (technically illegal) extension cable, and then we're back to the same impasse as we had with the receptacle in the first place. It's easier and more robust to use a USB 3.0 Type-A connector (I typically wind up using the Sabrent USB reader with a USB 2.0 extension cable anyway to keep the clock speeds down).

Note that this schematic is a little more grand than the bare minimum necessary; the Sabrent reader that inspired this project doesn't bother with the external oscillator.

Questions
How big is the EMMC Reader Lite PCB?
It measures 40.8 × 23.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the EMMC Reader Lite use?
36 parts, built around the W25X20CLSNIG, LM1117MP-1.8 and TXS02612RTW. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the EMMC Reader Lite KiCad files?
From the squidgeefish/eMMC-Reader repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/eMMC-Reader-Lite/eMMC-Reader-Lite.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/eMMC-Reader-Lite/eMMC-Reader-Lite.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the EMMC Reader Lite design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask squidgeefish before reusing the design.
