Pico Plus not boot SD

I have a problem with the Pico Plus. I can load Busybox, Buildroot, Alpine, but I can't load Ubuntu from SD. I can't erase the NAND from SocToolKit. I've tried various SD cards and writing is fine, but the pico starts as if it were not there, even if hot-plugging it detects it. I followed this page step by step
https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Pico/L ... burn-image. Include some screenshots. I wonder if my pico is defective. Many thanks.

Hello To erase spi-nand, you need to click DownloadBin and then click Erase All, Luckfox Pico Plus does not support hot swapping of SD cards, if conditions permit, you can replace other models of SD cards for testing, pay attention to the CLASS10 requirements of SD cards

I can't solve the problem. New SD, it seems like it's not recognized by kernel

Please use the image provided in our network disk to insert the SD card and attach the complete boot log (you can use the serial port module to obtain or execute cat /var/log/messages to obtain), do not use luckfox-config and check if there is a /dev/mmcblk1 device

From the logs, it seems that the initialization of the SD card timed out when sending the CMD13 instruction (SD_CMD_APP_SD_STATUS), which is used when reading the SD card ssr, which is the first time that the data pin is used after initializing with the CMD and CLK pins. In the kernel log, the information of the SD card was also obtained through the CMD pin, but an IO error occurred when the SD card was read through the data pin.
I speculate that it should be a hardware problem, the data pin of the Luckfox pico is damaged or the SD card holder is damaged, it should be noted that the SD pin of the Luckfox Pico Plus is led out to the pin header, if there is a connected device on the pin, this phenomenon may also occur

I sincerely thank the forum for the support provided. The issue was hardware-related, so I decided to purchase a new board, but the assistance offered was nonetheless very helpful.
