i.MX53 boot on SD Card

[nicolask]

Hi,

I have developped an i.MX53 board with an SD Card interface.

U-boot runs fine at startup. I can load Linux kernel in RAM and start the kernel.

The problem is when the kernel trys to mount the rootfs, the SD Card was not detected.

I try to boot the QSB board with my SD Card  and it's run fine. (u-boot ok, kernel and rootfs ok, Loging ok )

I don't know where to search. My board uses the same hardware for th SD Card interface, same OSC (24MHz), 1GB of RAM (actually 512MB detected but it's normal)

The only thing is the SD Card doesn't reply to any command. (CMD0 and others )

Can someone please help me ?

some topics to care about:

* Is your sdcard hardware OK?

* Does sdcard work on u-boot?

* Does your kernel has SDCard enabled?

[nicolask]

the sdcard hardware work fine u-boot is ok (read partition ext2 ok, writing env variables ok on SD Card)

the kernel had an SD Card enabled.

After a new verifications and another try, I found the CD signal for the SD Card is not asserted.

Thank's for your answer,

regards
