we have got this from Mike (we couldn't reply because he has lost this email
thread.

Mike:
"I think I found the issue. In ps7_init.c as generated by the tools, it sets the "WP" pin not to EMIO, but to MIO 0. We use pin 0 for a status LED.

# devmem 0XF8000830
0x002E0000

Register 0XF8000830 is SD0_WP_CD_SEL, and 0x002E0000 sets CD to pin 46 and WP to pin "0", not to EMIO as I specified in the design.
"

Eli: Maybe you have the same issue as Mike. Can you please check it?

Thanks,
Michal
