RTS522A doesn't read Turbo-X 8GB class 10 card unless inserted before booting into macOS

Open fivossak opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I have an HP ProBook 450 G5 laptop with an RTS522A full-size SD card reader. It seems to work OK for the most part, but this particular Turbo-X card refuses to attach. When I insert it after macOS has booted, nothing shows up under Sys Report - Card Reader or in the ioreg. But, if I insert the card and then boot into macOS, it shows up and mounts perfectly. If I eject the card, it will no longer read it unless I insert it and then restart the system or shut it down and power it back up. I tested the card on a different laptop and on an external USB reader and it works fine. I also tried initializing it at 3.3V using the -iosd3v3 boot argument and nothing changed. Any suggestions for this issue? Let me know if you need any logs.

Sorry I made a mistake. The card is not a SanDisk but a Turbo-X-branded one which is just a rebadge of some unknown manufacturer. I just confirmed the card works fine under Linux. Anyway, here are the logs. I hope I provided enough information. If you also need ioregs let me know.
