Do you have UHS-SDIO cards? Otherwise, some more testing in Spain will be good. > Is one possibility to enable it for the slots listed above that are now > thought to work but not for the other one? I don't think so. We'd need more test coverage. My gut feeling is that it varies from board to board. Or more precisely: from environment around the board to environment around the board. I'd like to test a) more boards) and b) a resoldered WLAN card to skip the extra cabling there. I still think the wire length of ~23cm (exceeding the spec of max 10cm) is a factor here, so resoldering would save ~6cm. That all sounds to me like a hacking sprint for our next meeting. Maybe ULCB has less line lengths? Would be interesting to check, too. I could also try to apply more shielding here at home, too. > The SDR50 failure on M3-W seems particularly troubling as that > has been enabled in upstream for a while, right? Not nice, yes. Yet, until this thread, there have been no issues reported. So, it doesn't look like a substantial fault to me (famous last words?) Regards, Wolfram
