Thanks for the link.

About 3 yeas ago I have issues with this using an industrial 2GB uSD from
Delkin Devices with am3517. And as far as I remember I just got it working
with CHS configuration.

I'm going to test it again with a Sandisk uSD and am3359 to see if it
remains. But I don't have a Delkin uSD and am3517 anymore :(
