Hi,
I've been trying to get an SD card working with an at91sam9g45ek-es board. I read a couple of threads in the archive and ended up doing this:
I applied these patches:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-August/059595.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/060053.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/060243.html
Added these #define's to include/configs/at91sam9m10g45ek.h:
#define CONFIG_CMD_EXT2 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_FAT 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_MMC 1 #define CONFIG_MMC 1 #define CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI 1
Finally, I added this to the board init function:
#ifdef CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI at91_mci0_hw_init(0, 4); #endif
When I try it out this is what I get: U-Boot> mmc init 0 mmc: clock 150000 too low; setting CLKDIV to 255 mmc: command 1 failed (status: 0x0c100025) No MMC card found
Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated,
Henry

Maybe you're not. The at91sam9m10g45 has 2 MMC ports, and the atmel_mci driver only uses one, defined using MMCI_BASE. Now if you look at the end of the third patch:
diff --git a/include/asm-arm/arch-at91/memory-map.h b/include/asm-arm/arch-at91/memory-map.h index f605f37..de0aba7 100644 --- a/include/asm-arm/arch-at91/memory-map.h +++ b/include/asm-arm/arch-at91/memory-map.h @@ -32,4 +32,10 @@ #define USART3_BASE (AT91_BASE_SYS + AT91_DBGU) #define SPI0_BASE AT91_BASE_SPI
+#ifndef CONFIG_AT91_MCI1 +#define MMCI_BASE AT91_BASE_MCI0 +#else +#define MMCI_BASE AT91_BASE_MCI1 +#endif +
So maybe the issue is that it's trying to read on the wrong port. Could you try to add #define CONFIG_AT91_MCI1 in your board config, recompile and see if that works better?
Thanks,

Hi Albin,
First of all thanks for the quick reply.
I tried out what you said about adding #define CONFIG_AT91_MCI1 to the board config file but although that did got rid of the mmc: command 1 failed (status: 0x0c100025) error it still doesn't see the SD card. After doing some debugging it seems like the statement:
if (aresp[0] & (R1_ILLEGAL_COMMAND | R1_APP_CMD)) != R1_APP_CMD) return -ENODEV;
in mmc_acmd() is being executed, which is causing my problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Henry

Great. At least know we know it's actually reading the card :)
it still doesn't see the SD card. After doing some debugging it seems like the statement:
if (aresp[0] & (R1_ILLEGAL_COMMAND | R1_APP_CMD)) != R1_APP_CMD) return -ENODEV;
in mmc_acmd() is being executed, which is causing my problem. Any suggestions?
Not on the top of my head - I have to admit I haven't played with the MMC support for quite some time. Would you mind providing me the exact command you typed and the ouput you got when trying with the "fixed" u-boot? That might help.
Regards,

Here's the command I'm using and the output. I put a debugging statement in sd_init_card() after the for loop (HJS:).
U-Boot> mmc init 0 mmc: clock 150000 too low; setting CLKDIV to 255 HJS: sd_init_card() mmc_acmd for loop finished. ret = -19, resp[0] = 0x6B200020 No MMC card found
The same thing happens if I try mmc init 1.
Thanks,
Henry

Err, well, that's weird. I have to admit I can't even guess whether it's trying to read the right slot. Could you please:
1/ add a #define DEBUG at the top of drivers/mmc/atmel_mci.c 2/ get the output of mmc init (0 or 1 doesn't matter) for both CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI1 and !CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI1 (with the SD card staying in the same slot, of course) 3/ In the process, add a debug printf in the mci driver displaying the value of MMCI_CR (you'd get that by calling mmci_readl(CR))
I'm sorry I can't help you further. Unfortunately I don't own such hardware, and this kind of thing is rather hard to debug remotely.
Regards,

I put the printf you asked for in sd_init_card, right after the for loop. Here's the output:

Hi Albin,
Thanks for all the help :).
After doing some research i found out that I the configuration I need is !CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI1 since I the interface I'm trying to use is MCI0. When I try it out it does seem like it's trying to read from it (it immediately returns with an -EIO if I remove the SD card) and I guess the problem is with the response.
In the for loop in sd_init_card() it should break out of the loop if either there is a return value for mmc_acmd() (which only happens when there's an error) or when (resp[0] & 0x80000000) which I guess is that we read something successfully. When I run "mmc init 0" it never breaks out of that loop. I'm guessing that the response should be something like 0x8XXXXXXXX, then. Am I right? The responses I'm getting are:
mmc: CMD55 0x0 (flags 0x1040) mmc: status 0x0c000025 mmc: response: 00000120 mmc: CMD41 0x100000 (flags 0x41) mmc: status 0x0c040025 mmc: response: 00ff8000
What does this number mean? Am I right in my assumption?
Thanks, Henry

Hi,
I've been trying to get an SD card working with an at91sam9g45ek-es board. I read a couple of threads in the archive and ended up doing this:
I have booted the AT91SAM9G45EKES (Actually the AT91SAM9M10EKES, but it is almost the same) from SD-Card for the last month. The patchset for 2009.11 is available for testing in my private git branch on www.openembedded.org: origin/ulf/linux-2.6.30-20100317
I came to the conclusion that the atmel MCI driver (written for the big endian AVR32) has significant byte sex problems.
BR Ulf Samuelsson.
I applied these patches:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-August/059595.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/060053.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/060243.html
Added these #define's to include/configs/at91sam9m10g45ek.h:
#define CONFIG_CMD_EXT2 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_FAT 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_MMC 1 #define CONFIG_MMC 1 #define CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI 1

#ifdef CONFIG_ATMEL_MCI at91_mci0_hw_init(0, 4); #endif

Hi Ulf,
Thanks for the reply. I applied your patches but I still can't get it to read the SD card
Without the SD card: U-Boot> mmc init 0 mmc: command 55 failed (status: 0x0c100025) mmc: command 1 failed (status: 0x0c100025) No MMC card found
With the SD card: U-Boot> mmc init 0 mmc: command 1 failed (status: 0x0c100025) No MMC card found
I'm not sure what's going on. On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 5:57 AM, Ulf Samuelsson ulf.samuelsson@atmel.comwrote:

Hi Henry & U-Boot Community,
I've been experiencing the same errors and frustration you have.
So I've been looking at this code and these patch sets for a day or two now. I've done that in conjunction with reading the SD card spec: http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdcard/pls/
I've come to the conclusion that this code as it stands will not work with any card that conforms to the SD Physical Layer Simplified Specification Version 2.0. This includes all SDHC cards and some non-HC cards that conform to version 2.0. I have a few 1GB cards that work just fine with the atmel_mci.c code on a 'G45 as it was in rev 95c44ec485b46ffb43dbdaa299f1491a500fdadf .
If your SD card is newer, you'll see in the for loop in "sd_init_card" in atmel_mci.c time out. In the 2.0 spec, you need to perform a CMD8 (SEND_IF_COND) first to see if your card is a 2.0 card. In CMD8 you tell the card the voltages you support and if you support HC cards. Once you send it the right data there, then ACMD41 will not have its BUSY bit set. That's all well and good, but additionally the CSD register is in a new format and that needs updating before any of this will work.
In another post, I will be more talk of the mmc/sd code and taking it forward.

The best solution is to use the MMC framework, which *does* do all of these things that you suggest. It should be fairly straightforward to port the atmel_mci driver to this framework. If you see something lacking, feel free to mention it, or modify the framework. :)

I did port the atmel_mci driver to the MMC framework and posted the results on this mailing list a few months back. However, some people apparently experienced issues I have never been able to reproduce, and got few review. I recently adapted the AT91 SD/MMC support patch and the atmel_mci port to use the new C structures access, I'll repost it in a couple days in case anyone's interested.

Yeah, I see that now. I'm catching up from being in various other project quagmires. Sadly, I can't apply your patch if people are running into problems with it, but I'd far prefer it.
I also don't have such a board, though. If someone could apply Albin's patches, and try to identify why it's not working, I'd be very appreciative. :)
Andy

Andy, Henry, Ulf, and the rest,
I've posted the patch that I'm using for my SD/MMC support. It is a new driver based on some of the code from the original Atmel driver that uses the MMC framework. I've tested it on a at91sam9g45 (ES and production chips) and on an ek board and our own board.
I hope this can help you guys out and I hope this can get mainlined for others to enjoy.
If the patch is not in your email, here is a link to it in the archives: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-April/070816.html

The patch works. Thanks Rob!
This is what I did, in case somebody else is looking for this:
Apply the patch. Add all the other stuff mentioned in the patch link.
Add the #define CONFIG_CMD_MMC 1 and #define CONFIG_CMD_FAT 1 to your board config file (in my case at91sam9mg45ek.h). I only needed to read from a FAT partition, so I only enabled that command.
Add an mmc_hw_init() function to the board specific file. In my case the function is called at91sam9m10g45ekes_mmc_hw_init().
static void at91sam9m10g45ekes_mmc_hw_init(void) { at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA0, 0); /* CLK */ at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA1, 1); /* CDA */ at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA2, 1); /* D0 */ at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA3, 1); /* D1 */ at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA4, 1); /* D2 */ at91_set_A_periph(AT91_PIN_PA5, 1); /* D3 */
at91_sys_write(AT91_PMC_PCER, 1 << AT91SAM9G45_ID_MCI0); }
(Thanks again Rob).
Before using the fat commands run "mmc rescan 0" (just one time) or the fat command will hang.
