Hi,
I have been trying to get u-boot booting from internal 4GB eMMC on a custom Allwinner S3 based board for a couple of months, and I'm pretty stuck. Where I've got to: * It boots from SD Card (mmcblk0) no problem. * U-Boot SPL boots fine from eMMC (mmblk2) * SPL tries to boot U-Boot and it gives this:
U-Boot SPL 2021.04-rc1 (May 09 2024 - 23:08:06 +0100) DRAM: 128 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2 Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110 spl: mmc init failed with error: -95 SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
* However, if I boot UBoot using the SD card and probe mmc2 it works: => mmc dev 2 switch to partitions #0, OK mmc2 is current device => info Unknown command 'info' - try 'help' => mmc info Device: mmc@1c11000 Manufacturer ID: 66 OEM: 2346 Name: CS032 Bus Speed: 50000000 Mode: SD High Speed (50MHz) Rd Block Len: 512 SD version 2.0 High Capacity: Yes Capacity: 3.6 GiB Bus Width: 4-bit Erase Group Size: 512 Bytes
* In fact if I insert an SD card it will boot from it, but sometimes boot linux from the eMMC rather than the SD card.
So it is just SPL that isn't finding the EMMC. I'm using the same DTS for both, relevant U-Boot compilation options are (full config attached): CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI=y CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT=y CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA=2 CONFIG_SPL_MMC=y
Finally here is a successful SD Card boot: U-Boot SPL 2022.07-armbian (Apr 08 2023 - 21:19:01 +0000) DRAM: 128 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1

Has anyone got any thoughts about what might be wrong?
Thank you
