Please elaborate on how you got the initialization to work. Currently having the same issue, however, I’m pretty sure my SD card is inserted correctly. Could you share what else you did to get it to work?
The fact that you talk about inserting the card, hints that it’s ‘inserted’ wrong. The card should not be insered.
The metal casing of the SD-card slot can be slit back a little, after which it turns out to be a lid which can be opened and closed. so you slide it back, pull it up, then put down the SD card in the correct place and put the lid back and slide it in place.
