Looks like you may be conflicted with the eMMC pins, which also go to the expansion headers.
[cid:image001.png@01D488DB.E1A48D20] I do not know if the MMC ports are numbered 0 and 1 or 1 and 2 these days in SW. But normally the board boots from the eMMC. On the Hardware we numbered them 0 and 1, 0 being the SD card and 1 being the eMMC. You can insert a bootable SD card and see if it boots from there.
