[U-Boot] SD/MMC timming issue when upgrading from 2010.09 to 2010.12 version

[U-Boot] SD/MMC timming issue when upgrading from 2010.09 to 2010.12 version

[Aaron Wu]

Hello Sir,

I am using the u-boot on a blackfin board. When upgrading the u-boot
from version 2010.09 to 2010.12 I met a a problem which looks like
timming related. I'm doing the following test with a Sandisk 256MB SD
card.

mmc rescan 0
fatls mmc 0

with 2010.09 version everything works fine, with 2010.12 version I
will have to add a delay as the following patch indicates to pass the
test. Or it will fail when calling the mmc_startup function in the
mmc_send_cmd function when trying to do the sd_change_freq according
to my debug. It returns a -18 error which means a communication error,
to be specific, it's a hardware data crc error happened on my specific
SD controller.  While actually the driver code for my controller is
identical for both versions.

Since adding a delay would pass the test I guess it would be a timming
issue, could some one please shed some light?

Thanks
Aaron

Hello Sir,

This timming issue looks strange, it has something to do with the
u-boot base version upgrading, any comments?

Best regards,
Aaron
