mmc init failed with error: -110

[Tesla42]

Hello,

I am unable to boot the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-n8GB at all. I used different images on the sd card, also:
a20-lime2_mainline_uboot_sunxi_kernel_3.4.103_jessie_NAND_rel_13.img
but I get always the same error message, only the first line containing the version is changing:

U-Boot SPL 2016.09-dirty (Apr 14 2017 - 15:34:55)
DRAM: 1024 MiB
CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2
Trying to boot from MMC1
spl: mmc init failed with error: -110
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

What I am doing wrong?

Bad SD card?

Hey,

I tested the same image with LIME2-n8GB board and it boots fine here. The chances are that you didn't prepare the card properly - try using a program like Etcher (https://etcher.io/).

Also make sure that your power supply is capable of providing at least 1A at 5V. Do not count on powering via the mini USB.

Best regards,
