For me, sometimes it responds, sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe the mmc controller is picky about cards, or the I/O pins
are undervolted. Without a user manual and schematics ATM,
it is hard to tell.

When I did get a response and boot0 was loaded, boot0 then complained
it couldn't initialize mmc0, and halted.
