5.7 Issue 7 - uSD Boot Not Working

Affected Version: E1, E2, E3, E4, Rev A

Severity: High

uSD boot does not work with certain brand SD cards. The EVM does not have the pull up resistors populated on the MMC1 interface. This is causing marginal failure with some SD cards.

Solution:Installing 10K resistor on R68, R69, R70, R84, R85 and R466 in the top side of the EVM resolve the issue.
