Hi, I'm sending this old bug by mail since a lot of developers don't use bugzilla. Original bug report on bugzilla by Pedro Rodrigues from 2019-01-30: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202459 > This bug can be found on a Lenovo Miix 320-10ICR > > When using a SDXC (UHS) card, the screen becomes black if > _mmc_sd_resume() is called. After some investigation, I found that an > UHS card uses 1.8 V for signalling while a normal SD card uses 3.3 V. By > forcing the SDXC to use 3.3 V the black screen does not appear. It seems > that during a _mmc_sd_resume function call, while claiming the host, an > I2C resume function is called based on an existing supplier link between > the I2C bus and the card device. The problem is that if the signalling > voltage is configured to 1.8 V, during the I2C resume call, the screen > turns black. I was able to fix this issue by setting the initial signal > voltage (3.3 V) before suspending the card, so that when the card is > resumed, the voltage is in the original state. To do this I added a > function call to mmc_set_initial_signal_voltage() during mmc_power_off > routine (drivers/mmc/core/core.c). As I’m not an expert on Linux, I’m > posting the issue and possible solution so that it could be implemented > on a future release. > > Please, share your thoughts :) I can't provide further insight but I'm interested if this is possibly the cause for the general issues people are having with the SD card reader on Lenovo Miix 320 devices. Those issues described in posts like https://vincent-ventures.com/2018/12/arch-linux-on-lenovo-ideapad-miix-320/ https://esc.sh/blog/linux-on-lenovo-miix-320/ are (1) black screen when booting with an SD card installed and (2) when inserting an SD card after booting it shows up but upon trying to access it the screen turns black until the card is removed again. I can confirm (1) on my Lenovo Miix 320-10ICR with kernel version 5.2.11. I can also confirm that only SDXC cards are affected, SD and SDHC cards work as expected. Thanks - Tim
