Solved: Intel NUC6i5SYB SD card doesn't show up

Edit: this turned out to be a bios configuration issue (SD was turned off). Very sorry for unwanted noise mea maxima culpa

up to date archlinux kernel 5.2.2 and all packages at latest. The NUC has a standard SD card slot which I remember has worked more than a year ago. Now when I put a card into it I see no messages and no automatic volumes appear. /dev/mmc* devices are not present. I don't see anything in dmesg regarding sd card or mmc. I guess I need to load a module or something.

The technical spec document says this is a standard SD card reader capable of reading SDXC cards. It mentions it is not supported in windows 7. I asked on the intel communities list, but have no replies.

Another later NUC8i5 seems to use  a realtek device which works fine.

Does the card work in other devices with the current Linux kernel?
Some cards are just not supported: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244223

I can read the same card when i use a multi-card usb reader; however, there they show up as /dev/sdX and the partitions as /dev/sdX1 etc.

I've tried with several cards all of which are readable in the usb card reader. I would like to see the device info, but don't know where to look. The lack of journalctl events seems a bit ominous.

What is the output if you run

# udevadm monitor 

and insert a card into the built-in reader?

Does

$ dmesg | grep mmc 

say anything?

$ sudo udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent


user@host:~
$ dmesg | grep mmc
user@host:~
$ 

so mmc is not in the dmesg output and udevadm shows no events
