FML13V03 (DC-ROMA Mainboard II): eMMC does not enumerate in Linux (only SD mmc0 present)

[Shalasere]

Board: DeepComputing DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II — FML13V03
Boot: microSD 32G (known-good); eMMC module installed on board (recommended for Mainboard I): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9GRHRT1?th=1
Use case: Hobbyist/dev, trying to install the OS to eMMC
All images grabbed from the JFrog / Atisfactory url provided in documentation: http://120.92.155.32:8082/ui/native/virtOS/fml13v03-eswin/

What I tested (Deb14 and Ubuntu24.04 )

A) Debian “deb14” build 15307 (SD boot)

$ uname -r
6.6.92-eic7x-2025.07

$ zgrep CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF_DWCMSHC /proc/config.gz || echo "no config.gz"
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF_DWCMSHC is not set

$ ls /sys/class/mmc_host

$ lsblk -e7 -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE
NAME         SIZE TYPE
ram0          32M disk

├─mmcblk0p2    2G part
└─mmcblk0p3 26.9G part

B) Ubuntu 15019 (SD boot) previously used on this board
Kernel: 6.6.92-eic7x-2025.07. DT status seen from the running system:

$ grep -R -i -E 'status$' /proc/device-tree/soc/mmc@* | sed -n '1,20p'
/proc/device-tree/soc/mmc@0x50460000

disabled
/proc/device-tree/soc/mmc@70450000
disabled

On the Ubuntu boot, additional MMC nodes in the DT appear with status = "disabled" (see snippet above).

Observed behavior

In both cases, only mmc0 (SD) is present.

There is no mmc1 host and no /dev/mmcblk1 block device to target the eMMC.

On my Debian 15307 boot, kernel config shows:

# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF_DWCMSHC is not set

Expected behavior

eMMC host enumerates (e.g., /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1) and a block device appears (e.g., /dev/mmcblk1) so the OS can be installed to eMMC.

Request

Is eMMC enumeration on FML13V03 expected to work with current images/kernels?

If yes, which image/kernel/DTB version should include it?

If not yet supported on this board/rev, is there a tracking build or branch to try?

You can check whether your eMMC model is supported by the motherboard; currently, it is known to support these two specific eMMC models.

[Shalasere]

The linked emmc module I presented is the 256g module from Orange Pi.

I can purchase a 64g and attempt the presented steps again. I would expect the 256g module to be supported as it presents an ideal main-memory source leaving the nvme slot open.

I'm also surprised that there aren't any commands that present the emmc module slot as "enabled" even if not populated (or populated by an unsupported module)

The eMMC you're using is supported—could it be that the eMMC and device aren't properly connected, causing it to be undetected?

You might check the motherboard's U-Boot environment: mmc0 appears multiple times in the environment logs:

Below are the steps I took to modify line 3842 from the previous "disabled" to "okay" to enable it.

# 0) backup factory Device Tree Blob (dtb)
DTB=/boot/dtbs/6.6.92-eic7x-2025.07/eswin/eic7702-deepcomputing-fml13v03.dtb
# 0.5) timestamp factory backup
sudo cp -a "$DTB" "${DTB%.dtb}.orig.$(date +%F-%H%M).dtb"

# 1) Decompile to Device Tree Source (dts)
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o ~/fml13v03.dts "$DTB"

# 1.5) Find your eMMC device tree entry and validate "status" is disabled.
grep -nA200 -B5 '@50450000' ~/fml13v03.dts | less

# flip just this node:
#   mmc@50450000 { ... status = "disabled"; ... }
# to:
#   mmc@50450000 { ... status = "okay"; ... }

# perl magic I found online it changes the status line *does not force it*
perl -0777 -pe 's/((?:mmc|sdhci)\@50450000\s*\{[^}]*?)status\s*=\s*"(?:disabled|okay)";/$1status = "okay";/s' -i ~/fml13v03.dts

# 2) Recompile and overwrite the file U-Boot loads
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o ~/fml13v03-emmc.dtb ~/fml13v03.dts
sudo cp ~/fml13v03-emmc.dtb "$DTB"

# 3) Reboot
sudo reboot

also, when plugged into the uart, it seems that the device will reboot into uboot and one must hard power off the device (unplug) and replug to get uboot to see a bootable medium (sd card in my case) and boot successfully up to a linux shell.

Hi there folks,

I'm following up to request the modification to the device tree demonstrated get integrated into the factory supplied images. I'm happy to test any images modified and am very interested in getting this working.

There is actually a much easier way to modify dtbs: use fdtget/fdtput (in Debian part of the device-tree-compiler deb).
In this case the command would be as easy as:

sudo fdtput -t s /boot/dtbs/6.6.92-eic7x-2025.07/eswin/eic7702-deepcomputing-fml13v03.dtb /soc/mmc@50450000 status "okay"

@DC-DeepComputing Is there any interest in enabling the emmc in the device tree to allow the use of the emmc on this board? There's a huge opportunity to have a more fit storage option than an sd-card while keeping the Nvme open for peripherals. Is there further work that needs provided to expediate this getting upstreamed into the images?
