I thought I solved this issue, but I can't reproduce the running version
anymore unfortunately. It constantly fails with the error I described,
even though the clock and all voltages etc are definitely stable. I can
also rule out hardware issues as the BSP kernel (3.2.18) works just fine
with the same setup including the firmware image.

Andrei, may I ask which board you have exactly? What kernel version are
you based on? I wonder if the firmware is actually transferred
correctly, or which reason there could be for it not to start up. Could
that be related to the recent AM33xx/omap_hsmmc DMA reworks? [copied Matt]

Bing, FWIW here are some more complete logs with CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG=y.

This is the detection of the SDIO card:

And this is what happens after "modprobe mwifiex_sdio":

Can anyone see what's wrong here?


Thanks again,
Daniel
