gumstix

I just grabbed the new u-boot build from sf.net.  After flashing a  
new gumstix, u-boot won't read my MMC card (SimpleTech 128MB).   
"mmcinit" works and prints reasonable looking things, but when I do  
"fatls" I get a pile of garbage characters and minicom hangs.  Have  
other people used this u-boot build successfully?

Has anyone used the latest u-boot from sf.net?  Just curious if I'm  
the only one with a problem, or the only one trying to use it.

thanks,

Ive tried both the 200MHz and 400MHz version of u-boot from SF, and with 
both I can not access my MMC card from the bootloader.

Any one having the same problem?

What happens when you try?

Here is a dump of the consol messages that I get using the 200MHz version

mmcinit seems to work, but when I do a fatls I get two or three  
screenfulls of garbage characters and then a readable file/directory  
count at the end that can't be right based on what's on the fat  
partition of the MMC.  The MMC works fine with the older u-boot.

Hmm, what does mmcinit output?  I just downloaded the image from  
sf.net, flashed it onto a gumstix, and it could read all my MMC cards  
fine.  That was the 400MHz version, but the only difference between  
200 and 400 is the single byte which specifies the CPU clock multiplier.

here is the output I got from the 200 version

Looks like the MMC card Manufacture and serial number fields are  
being byte swapped!

Is there anything I can do to help figure out what the MMC problem

Or maybe a better question is, what version of u-boot has this problem:

if 1.1.2 is fine, then maybe there's no reason to switch anyway...

I'll take a look at it in the next day or two.  I suspect the byte  
swapping is a display issue, rather than a fundamental problem, but  
it could be related to the problem.  Doesn't explain why MMC cards  
are working fine for me though; I suspect more likely there's some  
other problem, possibly with certain types of MMC cards, which has  
crept in.
