cannot boot SD card : "unable to select a mode" - alchemist - 06-18-2021
Hi!
I have U-Boot installed on SPI and Gentoo Linux running on eMMC.
I would like to be able to boot from SD card for maintenance purposes.
The boot order is this by default :
Code:
altbootcmd=setenv boot_syslinux_conf extlinux/extlinux-rollback.conf;run distro_bootcmd
boot_scripts=boot.scr.uimg boot.scrboot_syslinux_conf=extlinux/extlinux.conf
boot_targets=mmc1 mmc0 nvme0 usb0 pxe dhcp sf0
bootcmd=run distro_bootcmd
distro_bootcmd=setenv nvme_need_init; for target in ${boot_targets}; do run bootcmd_${target}; doneSo it should be: sd card, eMMC, nvme, usb, pxe, ...
but when I boot, U-Boot try to initilize the SD card and fails "unable to select a mode", then continues to eMMC:
Code:
The system is going down for reboot NOW!

pbp login:I've tried many different OS : manjaro, dietpi, and same result:
Code:
=> mmc dev 1
unable to select a mode
==== unplug SD card ; replug it
=> mmc dev 1
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc1 is current device
=> mmc part
Partition Map for MMC device 1 -- Partition Type: DOS

** Can't read partition table on 1:0 **but Linux can read the SD card and the contents. The partition table is MBR, boot partition 1 is in FAT or EXT2 and marked as active.
I will try an other SD card...
SOLVED: I change the SD card and now it boots first on it, then the eMMC.
