I'm not sure about BL2, but BL3 doesn't generate any logs automatically.

Try this command (it will dump all output from /etc/pcmcia/start to
/home/the_pcmcia_log.log):

---
/etc/pcmcia/start > /home/the_pcmcia_log.log 2>&1
---

Also, after that, this command might provide some information too:

---
dmesg > /home/dmesg_log.log 2>&1
---

If you replace the part after the ">" (including ">") with "| less",
then you'll see the output in a pager.
