Hi Claudiu,

but one thing I can ask already:

Yes, "considered" means here it should be *avoided*.

When SMPCMP is zero, there is *no* change point. Which is good.

I also have a chapter named like this. If you check the diagram, change
point is between TAP2 and 3, so the suggested TAP to use is 6 or 7. As
far away as possible from the change point.

This is correct.

That means you select the "change point" instead of avoiding it?

Okay, you might not have a failure message, but you might have selected
the worst TAP. Or?

Really looks like you select the change point instead of avoiding it.

However, with some SD cards, I also see the EIO error you see. So, there
might be room to improve TAP selection when all TAPs are good. I need to
check if this is really is the same case for the SD cards in question.

Happy hacking,
