The SD controller in xilinx zynq devices requires the CDn signal to work. http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/61064.html We have a situation where the controller requires the signal, but we can't use any of our pins to supply it. With test mode we can get the controller into a state where it works despite not having the signal. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
