[i.MX8Mmini] Could you please advise how to change the SDIO speed?

kazuyayamauchi — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 08:49:00 GMT

We are running on i.MX8Mmini-EVK using LF_v6.6.52-2.2.0_images_IMX8MMEVK.
In this environment, we are connecting the WLAN module via SDIO.

We are experiencing issues with SDIO communication failing at high and low temperature environment.
To avoid this issue, we want to change the SDIO speed from

"SDR104 mode (208 MHz) (1.8V)"
to

"DDR50 mode (50 MHz) (1.8V)" or "HS mode (25MHz) (3.3V)".

Could you please advise how to change the SDIO speed?

Best Regards,

I don't know why the reply was gone, I post again

you can refer to this try to add sd-uhs-sdr50 in the dts file and set the max-frequency in the dts

also can try to set sdhci-caps-mask = <0x00000003 0x00000000>; in the dts to force the mode to the DDR50
