The card detect GPIO depends on support by the base board.
Detecting an SD-card did not work for me with a Milk-V Mars CM Lite
mounted on an Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-A board.
The schematic of the Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-A board is available at
https://files.waveshare.com/upload/a/aa/CM4-IO-BASE-A_V4_SchDoc.pdf
showing pin 76 is not connected.
In https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=291041 the Raspberry Foundation explicitly wrote that pin 76 should not be connected when using a compute module socket.
E. Shattow pointed me to a board
https://github.com/NabuCasa/yellow/releases/download/v1.3c/Yellow_v1.3c_Schematic_git.8957b440adda.pdf
that actually disregarded this advice and uses pin 76 actually as cd-gpio. This usage of GPIO 41 is a property of the specific base board and not of the Milk-V Mars CM and should be described in a device-tree overlay if needed.
Best regards
Heinrich
According to [1] SD_SDIO0_CD_GPIO41 is connected to pin 76 reserved.
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board documentation marks that pin as
reserved. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 IO Board documentation
marks the pin as VBAT.
Remove the cd-gpios definition and add broken-cd.
