eMMC not visible in u-boot

[antonioramos]

Please see the listing below.

=>  mmc list

FSL_SDHC: 0 (SD)

FSL_SDHC: 1

=> ls mmc 1:1

  1000000   random_data1

1 file(s), 0 dir(s)

=>  mmc list

FSL_SDHC: 0 (SD)

FSL_SDHC: 1 (eMMC)

Why is it that “mmc list” shows the eMMC after listing the directory but not before? Is this a bug or a feature?

I am using a board designed by ourselves based on the iMX6UL EVK. I am using my own image created with Buildroot using the Linux kernel and U-Boot from the 4.9 release by NXP. We have a MicroSD cage from which I am currently booting connected to port 1 and connected to port 2 we have Kingston EMMC04G-M627-Y02U eMMC (eMMC v5.1 compatible with v4.5). Once Linux boots I can (on eMMC) create partitions, format them and copy data, so everything seems fine in Linux so far.

Hi antonioramos 

one can try with nxp uboot imx_v2017.03 :

uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot 

and use yocto for build, Yocto Guide guidelines from

Documentation package

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.9.11_1.0.0_LINUX_DOCS 

Also may be recommended to post issue on uboot mail list

U-Boot Info Page
