So I went ahead and enabled PIO mode and also DEBUG in drivers/mci/imx-esdhc.c, which got me this: barebox 2012.05.0-00200-g23273ec-dirty #7 Tue May 29 13:35:43 CEST 2012 Board: SID1 NOAH registered netconsole as cs1 noah_read_ccm_regs: CCM CRDR = 00000000 noah_read_ccm_regs: CCM RCSR = 01020820 noah_read_ccm_regs: Booting from WEIM: NOR imx-esdhc@mci0: registered as mci0 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: set clock: wanted: 400000 got: 377840 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: pre_div: 8 div: 10 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: set clock: wanted: 200000 got: 188920 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: pre_div: 16 div: 10 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: set clock: wanted: 200000 got: 188920 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: pre_div: 16 div: 10 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: set clock: wanted: 200000 got: 188920 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: pre_div: 16 div: 10 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: set clock: wanted: 50000000 got: 33250000 imx-esdhc@imx-esdhc0: pre_div: 0 div: 1 mci@mci0: registered disk0 imx25_devices_init: Adding NOR flash device cfi_flash@cfi_flash0: cfi flash (id=01000000 vend=000002 manu=000001 devid=00007E extid=002301) at a0000000, size 64MB imx25_devices_init: Adding initial NOR flash partitions ehci@ehci0: USB EHCI 1.00 Malloc space: 0x83b00000 -> 0x83efffff (size 4 MB) Stack space : 0x83af8000 -> 0x83b00000 (size 32 kB) envfs: wrong magic on /dev/env0 no valid environment found on /dev/env0.

I'll try to find out if I can add this functionality to barebox, unless you believe there's something else which causes this behaviour. I'll keep investigating ... Cheers Roberto
