STM32MP1 boot fail in TF-A

[tam.nguyen]

Hi all,

We design the custom board use ST32MP157 base on the design of STM32MP157-DK2 kit. We use the SD card for booting. The image and device tree is custom base on example of STM32MP157-DK2 kit. The board has a issue when booting via SD card. This is the booting log

This is SD card node in dts file 

&sdmmc1{

pinctrl-names = "default";

pinctrl-0 = <&sdmmc1_pins_mx>;

status = "okay";

/* USER CODE BEGIN sdmmc1 */

disable-wp;

st,neg-edge;

bus-width = <4>;

/* USER CODE END sdmmc1 */

};

The schematic and power of SDcard are showed in the attached picture. 

Please give me the advise for this case.

Thank and best regards

Hi @tam.nguyen 

I assume you programmed your SD-Card offline (e.g. on a PC using https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_populate_the_SD_card_with_dd_command)
For me, as the FSBL is correctly loaded by BootROM, but fail later when going to load other partitions (metadata, FIP, etc..), the issue is probably not presumably at HW.

Could you share the TSV file used ?
It should be similar to : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeProgrammer_flashlayout#SD_card

Regards.
