The PBL driver has an assumption about only being used with high capacity cards. When using a default capacity card, the sama5d3 MCI controller hang when doing unaligned accesses. This heuristic could add some support default capacity card support without risking unaligned accesses: at91_mci_set_highcapacity(false); sector0 = read_sector(0); if (!is_mbr(sector0, &fatsect) abort(); fatsector1 = read_sector(fatsect); at91_mci_set_highcapacity(false); if (is_fat(fatsect)) goto default_cap; else goto high_cap; This, of course, fails if fatsect * 512 on a high capacity card happens to have a FAT signature. As it's unclear whether supporting <= 2 GiB is worth the effort, hardcode it in xload-mmc.c and add a note about the limitation to conserve future debugging effort.
