That's true. So perhaps we shouldn't ignore CRC errors, but instead treat them as card is still busy and send a new CMD13? Could you please try that and see how it works? > So, it's better to never use CMD13 when change the speed mode. Yes, that might be the case. My concern is only that we should avoid adding unnecessary time-out for cards that is already working, as it might effects the total initialization time of the card. On the other hand, perhaps these card are working more because of "luck" and thus the method to switch to HS mode are fragile and needs to be fixed. :-) >> That's what we have been doing so far, but perhaps that isn't good >> enough for HS200/400. >> >> > case, I tried some Samsung/Sandisk/KSI eMMC, issue CMD13 will always get >> > 0x800, even eMMC has already changed to transfer state and DAT0 is high, >> > the response of CMD13 is also 0x800, and will never be 0x900. >> >> What do you mean by never?
