Dear All,
I'm facing a problem at boot (spl) with some types of uSD.

I made some tests, here is the result:

*uSD card Innodisk Industrial 2GB FAIL with:*
*uSD card Sandisk 8GB FAIL with:*
   U-Boot SPL 2016.03+fslc+g1e82446 (May 17 2016 - 12:24:33)
   Trying to boot from MMC
   spl: mmc block read error
   SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
   ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

*uSD card Sandisk 4GB Boot ok...*

Does anybody knows what is going wrong?
I'm aligned to fsl-bsp branch Krogoth

Thanks a lot
Simone

    mx6ul_evk: Remove CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT

    mx6ul_evk does not come with a eMMC populated, so we should not
    define CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT as it causes SPL to not be able
    to boot some brands of SD cards, such as SanDisk microSD HC - 8GB:

    U-Boot SPL 2016.05-rc1-28384-g108f841 (Apr 19 2016 - 11:19:11)
    Trying to boot from MMC1
    spl: mmc block read error
    SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
    ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

    When CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT is defined spl_boot_mode() returns
    MMCSD_MODE_EMMCBOOT, so remove this option to have a reliable boot
    via SD card.

Might help.

I pushed this change for U-Boot FSLC fork:

To git@github.com:Freescale/u-boot-imx.git
   1e82446..8e1bfe4  2016.03+fslc -> 2016.03+fslc

So please try that and let us know if it fixes the issue. If it does
we can update the BSP.
