It appears that I was also confused about the different models in the
CuBox-i line. I had assumed that the models had been updated to a new
revision (carrying that 1.5 SOM) since the time I bought mine (which was
thus some sort of first generation). With this scenario in mind, it made
sense to me that a CD GPIO required only for the second generation would
have been applied by mistake to all the cubox-i devices by having it in
the common dtsi.

I checked on the leaflet inside the box and models did not change, only
the 4x4 model was added in the meantime.

The one I have definitely does not have a spring-loaded mechanism, so I
would call it a push/pull static slot. I mentioned a hinged slot because
that's the term used to describe the layout in the CuBox-i-Lower
schematics, SD/MMC Connector part: "U3 is an internal hinged micro SD".
Looking at pictures of what hinged slots look like, that's definitely
not what I have here.

Are all CuBox-i units that have ever been sold supposed to have a
connector with a CD line? I find it hard to believe that it's broken
specifically on mine.

If that's really needed, I could open up the device, check whether the
R8 pull is in place and check the voltage there.

Cheers,
