Subject: [PATCH] mmc: dts: am654: Add 650ms power off delay for proper MMC power cycle
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 12:06:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908170635.238775-1-jm@ti.com> (raw)
The AM65x EVM MMC1 VDD rail discharges slowly through RC circuit.
SD spec (section 6.4.1.3) requires VDD < 0.5V for minimum 1ms during
power cycle. Measured discharge time on this board is ~632.97ms to
reach < 0.5V threshold.
During boot, MMC power cycles between boot stages. Without power off
delay, VDD doesn't fully discharge. Card retains 1.8V signaling state
from previous stages. When U-Boot initializes, card no longer asserts
S18A in ACMD41 response (already switched to 1.8V). Host misinterprets
card state and forces 1.8V anyway, falling into a bad state and causing
a boot failure.
Add power-off-delay-us = 650000 (650ms) to ensure proper VDD discharge
during power cycles, allowing card to fully reset state between boot
stages.
