>> I've tried your patch([PATCH] AT91: enable MMC on at91sam(9260/9g20/0xe)ek) on uboot-atmel branch on at91sam9260.The sdcard is correctly initialized,but when I test "mmc read" command, I found two issues.

The " Data Transfer Failed" only happens in HC card, normal card does not exist the problem.I test the HC card with "mmc read" several times, fortunately read data is equal to raw data.but I'm not sure if there's any potential problems.
>>
>> To issues1: "Data Transfer Failed" is caused by transfer data lost(not read),if MCCK too high the host may not receive the data.so I try to reduce the MCCK frequency,it works.

I just found in Atmel_mci.c MCCK is just 5000000(5M),but in mmc.c is 25000000(25M).

>> To issues2: While multiple reading ,it did not set block count . so multiple read failed because it don't know how many blocks to read.I set reg MCI_BLKR >BCNT bit.It is add in gen_atmel_mci.c.

>I think that multiple reading was added to common code.

I guess no. Other place ,like "sd_switch" function use it ,but it is not a real read or write.so do not need to set block count.I've tested,the code will stuck.

Yep...

Tried ,it's ok.
> In that case,I will deliver a patch.

>How does the patch for problem 1. look like?
Just:
-mmc_set_clock(mmc, 25000000); 
+mmc_set_clock(mmc, 20000000);
Seems it is a TBD problem ,I think no need now.
>And please run the patch through <linux>/scripts/checkpatch.pl, I see issues
in the samples you provided above.
Ok!
