YEP!
I went to fry's and purchased a few 1gb and a mini 2gb and also a 2gb patriot. The only one i tried was the 2gb patriot just out of curiosity and worked. This means that there is no or some limitation to the sd cards for the zaurus. So I got greedy and wanted 18gb on my zaurus so i purchased...well i tried to purchase a 8gb compact flash(none available)4gb sd card(none available). The only thing that came out of this was a 2gb patriot sd card on my spanking new c3200. Say.....does anybody want to try my new ipk.....2gb driver or more for your zauruses?Here it is! It was tested by a few and they stated it works fantastic.
Use at your own risk and don't come crying to me if it breaks your z.
the c3200 does not need it because it already has updated drivers.

There are two sd drivers now. The first one which I slaped together only replaces a link to where the original driver stays. The tetsu driver improves upon the older driver by adding a script. tetsu added postinst and postrm scripts to the new version. Uninstalling my old ipk would most likely make your zaurus sd drive not operational unless you do a hard reset or most likely a nand restore. NOthing wrong with my driver. The tetsu one is more correct. Download the tetsu sd driver. I took the old sd down just. The original driver had 577 downloads.
2 downloads.

So does this mean the new C3200 comes with new drivers for SD?
What "Other" enhancements in (software/drivers) does the C3200 have?
I'm not referring to user software or applications, just newer drivers, ect.
Is SDIO now supported with the new SD driver?
-
no clue but im slowly disecting it but that's just as far as i have gone. ipk for driver should pop out soon as this new theme for zaurusthemes.org website is done. Ill be converting some of the sharp ones over to cacko sooner or later.

hmmm, seems the new zaurus has more than just the hdd upgrade.....thats good news.

It would be great to have an IPK with SD card driver update.
However, please take care it fits the lower models by means of kernel version etc.
Did you try it on Sharp ROM? Which kernel version do they include with the 3200?
thanks

nope...just looking at files at the moment and also Version numbers......I need to know kernal version, qtopia version you guys are on because i don't have a current sharprom on a c1000 since i sold it. You're right...could be kernal or could be files that allowes it to see my sd card.
thanks.
ohh drat..... qtopia 1.5.4 and linux kernal 2.4.20

Excellent! My C1000 is running the same version as your C3200. I'm running Cacko 1.23. W00T!
Now to save up for a monster-sized SD Card.

Before you find a time to pack it as an IPK, maybe you can just gzip and post /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o ?

I would be glad to get some feed back. I have a few directories in mind but would like some more feedback. It's almost done. Ill have an expirienced a user who has an extra 2gb has laying around to test first hand.
anybody?
by tomorrow night around 11pm and on ill have it ready. I just cant do it now since im between schools.

I doubt that hardware was changed. Afterall, it's the same old PXA270, right?
I would rather suspect Sharp's slopy coding techniques - they just probably forgot to bump up the driver version.

most likely ill have something up by thursday morning. I am almost finished with the nouveXT theme for zaurusthemes.org and ill have this new sd driver ipk ready right after...

This is a bit offtopic, and I hope nobody minds.
I decided to order one of these, if the driver doesn't work with a larger card.
It's at Cyberguys. (I get a catalogue, so I can mailorder it) It's only $12.99 US
http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchd...c60&child=1sc60 (http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=204+0656&dept=lch13&search=1sc60&child=1sc60)
It's a USB thumbdrive that accepts SD cards. I just thought this might be another option to someone.
When I purchase a 2 or 4 gb SD card, this will allow me to use it as a portable mass storage device.

Can you put this module in a web site ?
I realy need to test this version.
-
okay driver ready
ill post in 5 minutes
i added ipk. start of this topic so go download it.
thanks chyang. ohh god on a c3000? jee your one lucky dude.
-
Verified on my Zaurus, 2GB card works great!
-
woops. i screwed up on the first ipk. made a new one and someone is testing it.
update...i added the new ipk. Some problems i came accross was going between modules.rom and modules. reason being is that modules.rom has the original driver while the modules carries a symlink-looks like one. so what the installer does is overwrites the symlink. the original driver stays as is in the modules.rom directory. Not sure if the file system is the same on all handhelds. But that was really my dilema.
papadon tested a few ipk's and now his sandisk 2gb works fine. he used the ipk installer.
So there you have it folks. ipk is at the start of this thread.
-
I think it is time to look into selling my 1 gig and getting a 2 gig'er...
Thanks Cresho for the find and ipk...
-
Why not overwrite the original file?
Here's a screenshot of my /lib/modules.rom/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block
(original sharp driver)
C3100 here, Cacko lite 1.23
EDIT:
BTW, thank you for uploading this.
I edited this post because I didn't want to clutter up this thread more.
EDIT2:
I noticed the symlink is the same bytesize as the original file.
Must be a hard link. (terminology correct?)
Anyway, I'll be getting a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card at Staples today or tomorrow.
-
I got my 2gb card today, had to order it. Local Staples was out of them.
It's a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB SD card. It works as shown below in the console.
Install went fine, except for one thing. I forgot to take out my Picsel Browser card.
When I rebooted, I was getting continous error messages about IDE drive, or CF drive.
I pulled the battery and everything was fine after that.
So remember, when installing this new SD driver, Remove all cards first!![/b]

Did anyone actually test performance of the new Sharp's driver against the old Sharp's driver? It would be interesting to see how does it compare. Maybe to make it more compatible Sharp just hindicapped its performance?

must be related to cacko. I did not expirience this problem since everything i did was from the cf card.
just remember not to install it from the sd card just incase. a few times i was running the sd card after deleting the driver which was making me laugh for a while. Only after a reboot, the sd card was not functioning. installing the new driver and rebooting fixed this problem.
congradulations on your new sd card.
has anybody tried the 4gb PQI sd card? only 160 at a local fry's. i was going to buy it but i was out of luck and got my 2gb patriot for 70 dollars.
-
I installed it from my hard drive.
/hdd3/Documents/Install_Files
Since I got my Picsel card, I always copy files that I need on my Zaurus to /hdd3
I probably won't be purchasing any new cards soon. I already have more than I need now.

BTW can this driver be usefull for pdaxrom devel?

where is the location of the sd driver? size, name? kernel version?

hi Cresho, Meanie,
may I ask what is the difference between that package and the one Meanie prepared s few weeks ago?
Which one is safer? More tested?
Thank you fpr providing this precious piece of software! Now I only have to find a good SD card.

Cresho and anyone else interested in this,
All the C3x00/C1000 Zauri use 2.4.20 linux kernel (unless you install OZ which use 2.6.15 or BSD)
They are all the same, except some have extra updated patches (ie tetsu special kernel)
The kernel sources are available from Sharp, except for the sd module which is binary only so nobody can update the driver except Sharp.
Sashz has compiled an opensource replacement for pdaXrom which, because it is opensource. we have the source code for it. And because pdaXrom is also using 2.4.20 kernel, the modules can be compiled for Sharp ROM or even copied over.
Now with the 3200 sd module, you can remove the symlink from /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o and replace it with the new module, or you can replace the one under /lib/modules.rom/2.4.20/kernel/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o directly, you you will need to remount / as rw before you can do that. On a C3000, that would be preferrable, because of the limited size of the NAND, but it is also dangerous because, if the NAND gets full during the replacement, you will not be able to update nor delete files from the NAND anymore unless you reflash the kernel. Same is with /home which is an another NAND partition, but it is not as crammed full as the / partition on the other NAND partition.
Also, it would be a good idea to unmount /mnt/card first and then shut down the SD manager by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/sd stop. Once you replace the module, you can start the SD manager again /etc/rc.d/init.d/sd start and you should be able to mount your SD card again without requiring a reboot.
-
I am aware of those..............issues. Just installing and rebooting works fine with the sharprom. easier said and easier done.
Never tried sashz driver though.
your right about the 3000 but someone dived into it and runs fine. Cacko did have a little issue with it but re-rebooting worked as well. /etc/rc.d/init.d/sd stop and /etc/rc.d/init.d/sd start is the best bet for cacko.
So how is the pdaxrom driver working out for your 3100?
-
sashz driver is in devel, and the one in beta2 is buggy (for instance it needs a cf card in the Z to work.
hopefully this should be fix in the upcoming 1.1.0beta3
I think 2G sd cards are not working with the driver in beta2
The good news is that he has 2.4.20 working on 7x0 so maybe we could also use the 3200 driver on these machine...
-
Is there any chance this can be done for the 860? The CACkO version I'm running has the 2.4.18 kernel ...

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121681\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
wasn't there a sdio driver made by c-guys that was only for the 2.4.18 kernel?
-
Yes, but it seemed quite erratic for SDIO use. There's a post on my experience a year or so back. Whether the card would work reliably with the larger SD cards seems doubtful to me, but perhaps someone can check. I sent my c-guys card and driver on to Maslovsky after I gave up on it and haven't seen any indication he had any luck. But he might be in a position to check whether it can work as a driver for the large SD cards on the 860.

in search of........its pretty stable so far. or someone would of posted by now. and yes, you are really desparate arent you? c1000 with no internal drive is a killer. when i had mines, how i wished someone like me would of posted the drivers. I would not of sold the c1000. but remember that it does not work on the pdaxrom......so far from what i have seen and nobody posting it working. only for sharprom based roms.

I hate to ask, but would this new driver work on the 5500?

since i own a sl5500, ill look things up and ill post after. for the sl5500, directory for installer is different, also kernel is different, So far, installer will not work for it. Tried mannually installing it and still does not work but i did basterdized the file structure. So ill give that another go another day.

OK, a clarification. It's only been a couple of days so I don't know about "stability". Seems good so far. One weird thing - if I try to install a new ipk to SD using the Add/Remove Software app I get the error message "Not enough storage memory for installation" However, can still install to SD from command line..

how is /tmp doing? how much of the 1MB is free? if the command line works and the gui doesn't, then I suspect, the free space calculation was probably hardcoded to an upper limit and hence your 4GB is beyond what is "possible", it might have gotten confused and taken your free space as a negative value instead
-
with all the symlinks, mazathon going on the zaurus, i am even surprised to see it work at all
Did you try another installer? Different program?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=122150\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
When I ask re /tmp it says:
Used 44.0K Available 980.0K Use 4% /dev/shm.
Oh well, I'm not going to obsess about it, since I can get around the issue..

I tested this on my C3000 running the factory Sharp rom, with an
A Data 2 GB SD card, Model #: SD 2G 50X
Purchased from Newegg.com for $48.99!!!! That's right, $48.99 for
a 2GB SD card!
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16820211029 (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820211029)
This card is working great in our Canon Powershot A620 and after
updating to this driver is now working just as well in my C3000.
Thanks for the driver update!

$28 for a 2GB card? Where?

I'm assuming newegg.... Try there... If I feel un-lazy for a moment I will find it and post the link....
Edit: Nope didnt find it on NewEgg so I'm wrong...

Yeah, I didn't see it there, which is why I asked.

It seems that both newegg and zzf have 4GB 150x SD card for $99.99 AR($30).
Pretty tempting...

I always been wondering if this option would work on the handheld without the driver update. Can you confirm this? THis was my burning question when i owned a c1000.
This information can be very usefull to sl5500 and sl6000 and c860 users.

He basically took my ipk for a ride and improved on it by adding install scripts. Is this correct?
-
Yep. And in case anyone was wondering, I don't think there's anything about the package he made that relates to his special kernel.

I tested on my Z with my newly ZZF bought corsair 133x sd, copy from the microdrivr to sd can achieve 1MB/s . It seems not so slow but not fast,too.

Just to chime in, the new driver loaded fine on my C3000, stock Sharp Rom. Inserted PNY 2 gig card, loaded about a gig of mp3s on it, started to play files while transferring via wireless scp. No problems whatsoever.

There are two sd drivers now. The first one which I slaped together only replaces a link to where the original driver stays. The tetsu driver improves upon the older driver by adding a script. tetsu added postinst and postrm scripts to the new version. Uninstalling my old ipk would most likely make your zaurus sd drive not operational unless you do a hard reset or most likely a nand restore. NOthing wrong with my driver. The tetsu one is more correct. Download the tetsu sd driver. I am keeping the old sd up just incase.

It has been updated.
I have a question, If I wanted to install the tetsu version, could I just install it on top of Cresho's version, without first uninstalling Cresho's version?

Hi Cresho,
one question:
If I install that driver, will it also be available in the emergency console boot, available via B+D boot so I can use backups on the 2GB SD card from there?
Thanks
daniel
-
I assume it not to work since i have a few people stating that it does not work. You would most likely need to eject the card before doing this procedure. Others use compact flash.
You can try how ever and post if you had no problems.
-
I have posted in the hardware forum, it will cause problems. If you are having 2GB sd in the slot, you will not be able to enter the D+B mode.

I just tried with my PNY 2GB card in the slot.
B+D boot itself works, but when it shows "INIT: Entering runlevel: 4" it gets VERY slow. On the login prompt, which appears about half a minute later, I cannot enter anything.
Seems as if the processor is very busy.
The cursor blinks very slowly (one blink cycle every 5 seconds).
When I eject the card the Zaurus is immediately responsive again (without rebooting).
When logging in as root then and calling "dmesg" I see a lot of
SD read CRC error
sd_read_multiple(4660) : receive error
mmc read checked intervalbuf: ERROR adr = 6144 (0x1800) , len = 2048 (0x800)
[SD]-R 1800 0800 ERROR!
(the number 0x1800 varies: 0x0000, 0x800, 0x1000, 0x1800).
If I insert the card again, the Zaurus is too busy to respond to keyboard entry again.
Is it possible to also replace the driver used in B+D boot with the new driver?
Is it as simple as replacing the driver module on mtdblockX using a NAND restore process?
Well, it's not essential. Now I only must make sure to always carry a CF card with Cacko ROM on it with me when travelling and experimenting a lot with the Zaurus.
by now I always had backups AND the Cacko flash files on one SD card together with all user data.

daniel
-
Well, in order to avoid confusion: This is ONLY valid for the B+D boot method.
The PNY 2GB SD card works very well in normal operation of my SL-C3100 with the driver provided by Cresho / Tetsu.
thanks for that!

I'd really like a nice IPK of this for the 6000 (Tosa), if possible. Any chance we might see anything soon?
One of the biggest limitations of my Z right now is storage -- I'm maxed out at 1GB CF and 1GB SD -- and card storage prices are dropping like a rock. 4GB 150x SDs can be had for $93 (http://dealmac.com/deals/A-Data-150-x-4-GB-Secure-Digital-Card-for-92-shipped-2-GB-for-55/118691.html?ref=rss_dealmac_20).

Just an expirience here. Im not sure how this fits into my 4gb sd. But I was playing with the cacko and the driver I put up, installed software into my 4gb. Then after a while, it couldnt accept install to sd with ipk. I would get an error that there is not enough memory or something to that extent. I figured i would fdisk the 4gb and hosed it. It doesnt work on my pda anymore. I had this expirience with my sandisk 128mb on my zaurus years ago. well my 4gb does work on my windows pc but it refuses to be seen in my zaurus. same expirience as my sandisk.
Just out of curiosity, has anybody expirienced something similar? since its still under warranty, im gona return it for another brand or the same.
Has anybody had any expirience similar to this?

Hello everyone,
since this is my first post here I'd like to say that I really like this forum! I'm a new and very happy Zaurus C1000 owner, and it just rocks
I got myself a 4GB Platinum SD Card and downloaded Cresho's driver. Rebooted, and it just works Thanks a lot Cresho!
Just a little question: I partitioned the SD card with a 1gig ext2 and a 3gig fat32 partition. Is there a way to create a new mountpoint under /usr/mnt.rom/ like card1 for the second partition to keep the standard? Or do I have to mount it in my homedir?

guys,
i've just tried my brother's 4Gb Transcend 150x sdcard in my slc3000 with these new drivers : i could see it perfectly!
but when i tried fdisk it, i could see 4gb allocated space but no partition on it! (there was one indeed!)
how can you explain that ?
(please reply quickly as i'll propably buy one soon
-
what partition did you have on it to begin with? Some cards do not work. can you see that partition or directories in the file browser in the zaurus? keep the partition fat 16.

well,
it was a FAT32 partition and i could see and access the files that were on it. it just that fdisk "saw" no partition.....
-
I've been using 'zaurus-sd-driver-update-cxxxx_1.0_arm' since the ipk was first posted. Pretty much as soon as I read (meanie posted it, I think) that pdaxrom beta1 could use the file. Reflashed to beta1, used the package manager gui to install the ipk to /, and then rebooted. It was a litle hairy when I first inserted my 4GB SD card, my 3100 froze when I put it in, and I pulled the battery. It has been flawless ever since.
Oh, it is an A Data Turbo 4GB, 150x 'MyFlash'. It is dark blue/purple, with a pink label. It is also half the price or less that I paid for it at this time, lol.
-
It's not uncommon to find flash cards (CF, SD, etc.) with no partition table. It seems some versions of Windows and some devices will see that the first sector is an MS-DOS boot sector instead of a master boot record and treat the card as a (really big) floppy disk.
If you want to partition the card (you will lose all the data on the card), start fdisk with a "-z" option to zero out the first sector.
-
I seem to be having the same problem as SNi. When I try to use Cacko's Add/Remove Software app (maybe this is not specific to Cacko) I also have the same not enough storage memory for installation message. This happens when the card (w/single 4GB partition) is formatted fat, vfat, or ext2.
Packages install to internal flash no problem and also install to my 512MB card no problem.
I'll try ipkg via command line.
Update: Yep, ipkg via command line seems to install to the card. Is there some other ipkg front end type program that overcomes this high memory limitation?
Works fine - Transcend 4 GB SD (TS4GSD150) in SL-C3000 w/ stock ROM..

OK, a clarification. It's only been a couple of days so I don't know about "stability". Seems good so far. One weird thing - if I try to install a new ipk to SD using the Add/Remove Software app I get the error message "Not enough storage memory for installation" However, can still install to SD from command line..

Seems a bit of something inside the QTopia system (i.e. only applied to graphical apps) is hardcoded to a maximum partition size of 2GB when checking available space.

1. I downloaded the driver from the start of the thread and installed it using the package manager------- said everything was ok.
2. I rebooted the C1000 and plugged in the card-----nothing.
3. Ran a "df -h" from the shell and got nothing referencing /mmc
4. Ran "dmesg" and got the following response.
pxa_sd_wait_response: responce time out (cmd=52 MMC_STAT=0x2142)

5. Checked the install package manager and noticed that under the install portion the package was still referencing it was not installed. However when I would go to the uninstall section it was installed.
6. Double checked card was recognized by a Windows PC w/ a SD card reader and had it formated for FAT32.... is that ok?
7. Since I had so much crap in my C1000 i decided to reload from Cacko 1.23 full with 1.23 lite and start with a clean install-------------same kind of output.
8. Uninstalled the SD card driver and re-installed through the console-----same thing and output.
9. My 1 GB card does work.
10. Tried Meanie's way of shutting down the sd card mngr service and restarting-----same thing.
11. Brain's starting to fry now and getting a facial tick from stress
Can anyone give me any guidance???
Thanks....

that card must be one of the "not supported" type. 2gb pretec cards work excellently but Liberty 4gb gaved me a little issue after 2 weeks. Read up in the forums and figure out who has had excellent results from a 4gb. Use that 4gb if they recommend it. PQI is a bit...hmmm "iffy"

This was the card that was under the great deals

had troubles with pqi cards and had to replace them 3 times. the current one has been working for weeks now. the previous ones died after days...

Maybe the FS type is not recognized correctly or the card is partitioned in an odd way.
Please try the following:
fdisk /dev/mmcda
then hit p to print the partition table. What does it say?
Try removing existing partition(s) and creating on ebig new partition with FS type 83 (Linux).
Then mkfs.ext2 /dev/mcda1
Does that work?
Is the card mounted correctly afterwards?
If yes, then re-type the partition to Windows95 (FAT32) instead of Linux (ext2) in fdisk and create an FAT32 FS with
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcda1
Does it still work correctly?
Good luck

That worked great!!!!! .
The partition was reading unknown. Once I deleted it and recreated it as per your instructions all is working well. 4GB!!!!!!!!!!!
I definately learned some basic stuff today. Thanks Daniel for commands, thanks Cresho for the drivers and the SNES emulators, and thanks Meanie for the pdaXqtrom. You guys are awesome.

fat16 works better on the z especially if you want to be doing nand restore from your sd card
if you are going to stick with fat32, use fat32(LBA). But for restore purpouses, use fat16(LBA).
hmm.. come to think of it, I think that's the reason why my 4gb failed. Probably not supported. Anyway, stick with fat32 but if you ever need to do a nand backup or restore, just for your information, it will only work on a card with fat16 (LBA). I use a 2gb at the moment.
-
Thanks Cresho! I haven't tried it yet, but I'm excited to.. Finally I can get 4GB for my C1000. You just added a lot of value to my Z!! Big props!

Yea, I have a 4GB Transcend 150x SD card. I first had it formatted FAT16, then reformatted it ext2 so I can keep files on there and not have the system complain about symlinks on a FAT formatted card.
Also, if you havent' read my other posts in this thread, beware that the default graphical Package Manager shipped with Cacko (maybe some others out there too) complain about the 4GB single partition. Seems they don't want to play well with partitions that size. Size down to 2GB or 1GB if you want to use the graphical installer.
Ipkg command line will install to the 4GB partition no problem.
That was one of the "Gotcha!"'s that I noticed when I first got the card.
-
my 4gb worked fine using the graphical interface. not sure why it died but now im looking for 8gb. depends on the brand
-
I am glad to report that I've finally got this to work on a Transcend 2GB 80X mini-sd card (TS2GSDM80). Why mini-sd? Because it's for my phone.
When I first tried the driver I couldn't get it to work so reverted back to the standard one. After much experimentation I found that the adapter that came with one of the mini-sd cards was broken: the symptom being that when inserted into a device (tried my Z and my wince) it would eat the cpu for a good half-minute or so then ignore the card. After swapping to a different adapter the Z sees the card and I was able to copy a bunch of stuff over.
NB this card is for my phone so I won't be doing any long-term stress testing on it (it will be used now and again for copying files back and forth between the Z & phone) so please don't make any buying decisions based on my info (at least don't blame it on me if you do and something goes wrong ).
Cresho: I think it'll be a good idea to have a list of tested and "seem to be working" cards listed at the beginning of the thread (or somewhere easily accessible - wiki?) so people don't have to trawl through the thread looking for that info. Want to volunteer?

I tried the Fat32 first but then noticed that my Windows box and my Linux box didn't recognize the card when used with a card reader. So I then used fat32 LBA but still got the same thing. Since I could use the 1000 as a card reader I'm thinking of repartitioning to ext2 so I could use the seperate card reader for the linux box and connect thru the Z for windows pc's. I'll let you know what happens.

Or you can format it ext2 and install this ext2 driver on your windows xp box.

just a few notes for you guys...
After repartitioning and formating my 2gb in the zaurus, windows will not recognize the 2gb when i usb connect it to the windows box. But when i use my mustek dv4500 as a usb drive with the same 2gb sd card i formated, windows finds it automatically. So i then decided to format the card through my mustek with the 2gb again to fat16 and now windows sees it in my zaurus. What a maze-athon!
-
The Z seems to share the SD card with windows at the byte level - so for windows to see it it must be formatted with FAT/VFAT. I have partitioned my SD into a VFAT partion which windows can see over USB and an ext2 partition for proper Linux stuff.

Did this put a small partition in front of and at the end of the SD card. I'm curious if I would have to do that. I'm still having little quirks with my card. I just read up Meanie's site about syncing and delaying the umount process for cards that are 4gb and higher. For some reason my SD card was unable to write with the zaurus user even though I had given 777 permissions from root. I just redid the whole partition so hopefully it would work fine.
-
Just installed the driver last night and my Ridata 4GB SD worked perfect. all day then I took it out tonight to put more stuff on it through my laptop's SD card adapter. I put it back in and the Z can't see it. My laptop and digicam can still see it however. It's just dead to the Z.
I'm running C1000, Cacko 1.23
I even reinstalled the driver but it hasn't helped. Also rebooted in case.
Any ideas?
-
I dunno why this is, but I reformatted with my digicam and it works again. I dont know if I would've gotten the same effect if I reformatted with laptop or the Z.. I know it's ideal to reformat with the Z to use with the Z, but I really want to be able to use this same card for my digicam too.

Be carefull with which sd cards you use. SD cards are unstable wo the z but a few. I remember back when the sl-5500 was having a heart attack over a sandisk 125mb. Then i purchased a 1gb PNY and has not given me any problems at all. SD cards are hard to come by when it comes to stability.
I recommend you stick with a 2gb PNY or Patriot. My 4b Patriot was working fine till it died after 2 weeks of usage....just some examples.

What about Sandisk? I have a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB SD, and it does not work no matter what I try.
-
if it doesnt work, it doesnt work. Take it back or get another card. They run cheap now a days.
Some suggest adding a 7mb partition infront of the vfat. Not sure how this works since the zaurus cannot see it to begin with.

I also have the Sandisk Ultra II - 2GB SD card, and It works in my C3100
I never reformatted it, it worked "out of the box".
I haven't used it much yet and only have 132mb of files on it as of now.

SD cards are getting pretty cheap now. I just formatted my 4Gb in my Z and just left it there. When I need to access it I use the Z as a card reader. I formatted it with ext2 and changed some of the config options for umount (courtesy of Meanie's site).

I think it's the particular Sandisk card, Which specific Patriot SD card do you recomend - thinking putting an order to newegg.

OMG! I finally got this card to work! I tried to pop the Sandisk SD into my Wife's Pentax camera, and it would not read, so I formated it in my Kodak camera, and the C3100 read it. Seems to work so far, and I transferred all the files from my 1GB CF and did a backup to the SD.

Can you go into fdisk and tell us how it's partitioned??

I don't know if this will help, but here is my results from Sandisk Ultra II 2GB Sd card.

well something usefull came out of this one. you just saved me another 40-70 bucks. I poped my deceased sd card into my dv 4500 and formated it. Now it works on my pc, zaurus and also my hybrid camera.
In my zaurus, i had access through it from terminal but I knew nothing of the cylinder size to fix it. I somehow got into something more than the sd card's partition and wiped it out. Something like a hidden partition "so to speak of." So I kept the card thinking someone can come up with a solution and i remembered this post.
-
I just did the patch onto my c3100 running cacko-1.23, and it worked without drama. Before the patch, a 4GB card made it panic.
I had to reformat the card because the Z claimed it was full of junk files with weird names... then it was fine. I think it was because the 150x 4GB sd card had just previously tried in a device which definitely didn't like big cards (a Pure PocketDAB 2000 mp3/dab radio, which only accepts 2GB cards max according to documentation), and I think that corrupted the card slightly as the Z said it was full of bogus files even though the card looked fine in Windows. Once reformatted FAT32 it was fine on Z and windows.
Still hoping for an SDIO driver :-/

BTW, on the subject of partitioning flash cards. A little while ago I was backing up my stock-rom C3100 and made a flash backup which I didn't copy off, as I noticed that there was also a microdrive backup option in the D+M menu, so I tried it thnking it'd create a tar.gz archive, but instead it did a raw block copy off the microdrive onto the 512MB cf card, which failed as the CF card wasn't big enough. The CF card's partition info was then corrupted, I reformatted in windows, but it didn't work in Zaurus, and couldn't be used in D+M menu to backup.
Basically, without partition info on the flash, windows formatted the entire device as FAT, leaving no partition info. I could mount it at the command line with "mount /dev/sda /mnt/flash". It took a few goes to create a partition on it with fdisk /dev/sda using a usb flash memory reader on linux, but afterwards the card worked normally again and I was once again able to do NAND backups.
I suspect the same problem exists with SD cards too.
-
Sounds like the CF driver in the backup code doesn't check the size of the device and just writes off the end of it - the drive then ignores the top bit of the address and wraps around to the beginning, right where the partition table is.
It's not likely to happen on an SD card, as those are serially addressed.

good theory but the backup code did throw an error in red letters saying the destination was full.
I am wondering if the function is intended to make a raw copy of the internal drive onto an external one, rather than make a backup file... but then I'd have expected the CF card to look like a corrupted multi-partition microdrive than a unformatted/unpartitioned corrupted mess?

I did one of those D&M backups with a 6gb MD. I've now got a 4gb partition on the MD with an exact copy of the internal drive. I suspect what is going on is the Z is using "dd" (or some equivalent) to copy the drive's contents verbatim, including partition info.

thanks for that, so yes, the D+M backup is just a raw sector copy.I think I'll just rsync the contents over, as I want to preserve the original c3100 contents before repartitioning it.

I have an A-Data 4GB myFlash Turbo SD 150x. From reading through the posts, it would appear that it works. I downloaded the driver from (I think) Meanies site. The installed driver says sdmmc-module ver 2.4.20. I have Cacko 1.23 installed on my 3200. I put in the card and it does not show up. I attempt to mount /dev/mmcda1 and it says "No such device'. dmesg|tail says (many times):
pxa_sd_wait_id_response:responce time out (cmd=01 MMC_STAT=0x2142)
Can't fdisk, etc. My digital camera sees it, wants to format it, but can't. Any ideas?

get another card. you need trial and error..there is no difinitive list of working 4gb cards since the crowd is small here.

The installed driver says sdmmc-module ver 2.4.20. I have Cacko 1.23 installed on my 3200. I put in the card and it does not show up. I attempt to mount /dev/mmcda1 and it says "No such device'. dmesg|tail says (many times):
pxa_sd_wait_id_response:responce time out (cmd=01 MMC_STAT=0x2142)
Can't fdisk, etc. My digital camera sees it, wants to format it, but can't. Any ideas?

get another Zaurus, you need a C3x00/C1000 in order for that module to work.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=148463\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I thought that an SL-C3200 was a C3x00? Since 4GB cards are at least $50 delivered, I can't afford to just keep buying them. I will read through the posts and see what folks have gotten to work and narrow the search. In my search I have seen a few discussions about tactics used to resurrect/format cards, I was hoping that you guys could give me some ideas on a last ditch effort to get this card to work. I will keep fooling with it before I give up. Thanks.

I think they were looking at your handle. It says you have a C860..
-
another thing, once you've got the correct driver loaded, is to ensure that the card has a partition table - windows will cheerfully mount a fat32 formatted card where the card is entirely given over to the file system, linux wont. Use "fdisk" to create a partition, then "mkfs.vfat" to format it.

Since attachments don't seem to be working, is there somewhere else to download Cresho's patch. The link from Tetsu's page is dead, so I can't even download his. Unfortunately the link from handheld software points right back to here. I can't find it in the pdaXrom repositories.

I tried sending you a copy of the tetsu driver using the private messaging system, I'm not sure if it went through.
Here's the filename, in case you want to google for it.

I also tried to attach it here, that didn't work either.

I am thinking about purchasing a 4gb Transcend SD card here (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2315930&Tab=0&NoMapp=0), which is supposed to work, but after reading all the negative posts about problems with 4gb cards, I'm wondering if I am just wasting my time and money on something that may or may not work.
Or maybe it will work for awhile then quit.
The driver is greatly appreciated, and would be awesome if I thought it would "just work", but there are no guarantees even with this card that has already been mentioned to work.
Hmmm... what to do???
EDIT:
Well, I ordered it anyway.
If it doesn't work correctly in the SD slot on my Z, it's bound to work in my USB SD card reader or in the SD slot on my laptop.
-
Ever since I had this 4G card my Z productivity has gone up tremendously. Especially with multimedia apps. Now I can pump out an audiobook or just run X/QT better with a huge swap partition. Just my thoughts
-
Thanks for the report, harvell.
I'll report back on my *hopefully optimistic* success.
-
I had a patriot 2gb which worked flawlessly. Then i grabed a 4gb one and it died all the time. Went through 2 of them and decided to just call it quits.....recently, my 2gb died but that was my fault. I did something nasty to it.
transcend seems good, hope it works and I am expecting to grab one sooner or later.

Hi,
Transcend 4 GB SD works great in my Z since Sep 2006.

I have had good success with Transcend SD and CF cards on my Zs. They make a pretty solid product. Although I haven't tried that particular card in my Zs yet. I'm waiting for the local price to drop before I grab one.

I called them and they gave me a credit.
I doubt you will find one any cheaper than that.
I've dealt with Tiger Direct for years, and they are excellent to do business with.

My reply isn't about sd cards as such and may not belong here but I feel compelled to comment on tigerdirect. My experience hasn't been quite the same as yours. They have a weird return policy where the customer has to try to deal with the manufacturer first before contacting tigerdirect. At least that is how it is with a business account. This can be and has been a real problem if one lives in Canada and the manufacturer is in the US and customs won't let the parcel through the border because the manufacturer won't supply the paperwork. This is how things stood a couple of years ago. As far as prices and selection go tigerdirect is certainly up there with the rest of the online suppliers.

cycle_55,
I can see how a US/Canadian transaction could be rather frustrating if it was necessary to return an item.
But just for the record, Tiger Direct does in fact accept returns in 30 days on items that are marked as such.
That is the case for this Transcend SD Card (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2315930&Tab=0&NoMapp=0).
Just click on the "30 Day Guarantee" icon and you'll be presented with this page (http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/ironclad/index.asp).

Not to sound alarmist here but, it looks like the Transcend 4GB SD that TigerDirect is offering is part of a blowout sale since Transcend (http://www.transcendusa.com/products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=87&LangNo=0) no longer lists that card on their website. It appears that it was discontinued in favour of the new SDHC cards which aren't compatible in our Zs (at least not, yet). I wasn't planning on going 4GB on my 1000 yet but, this turn of events is making me reconsider since I don't want my poor 1000 stuck at 2GB.
BTW, TigerDirect is also offering this Transcend card on their canadian store as well.
-
If you froogle, there were other shops showing the same product in stock anywhere from $5 less to the same price in case TD runs out.
-
I believe there's a thread that talks about how it shouldn't be long before the SD HC driver is available for us. I'm wondering if I should not worry about this, or if I should grab another 4GB card for myself as a backup to the one I'm currently using. If nothing else, my wife should be able to use it in her digital camera.
Hmmmm...

It's a different model number, plus there is no speed rating.
So it's probably just a standard speed compared to 150x (which might not make much difference on the Z anyway, as long as it works).

From your posting on www.tyrannozaurus.com:
I formatted that 4gb card to ext2 (mkfs.ext2) and this is what system info shows:
SD Card - /mnt/card ext2 : 3860MB
Used (196MB) Available (3664MB)
So I've lost 7% in file space due to linux filesystem overhead compared to Fat32.
Can anyone tell me what's up with that?
Did you add "-m 0" to mke2fs? Normally mke2fs reserves 5% of filesystem space wich can only be used by "root". That is to avoid dos situations if the filsystem is 100% filled (from normal user's point of view). root has additional 5% to give him/her the chance to delete some files. IMO this makes only sense in multi user environments. So you can reclaim this space on the Zaurus.

jochen-02,
The command line option "-m 0" worked out perfect.
Thanks a lot for that.

With my soldering skills, I'd be more likely to neuter him!
-
yes, the mkfs program generally reserves space for non-root
it's actually a good thing to reserve the space, its prevent fragmentation when the disk gets quite full. The 10% is a historic thing from when disks were generally less than 1GB! If you've got a multi-GB disk then probably a few percent is OK (e.g. reserve perhaps ten times the size of the most common file?)
in flash memory, it could prevent premature wearing out because when files are rewritten they can be written to a different set of blocks; if the disk is 99.9% full then re-writing a file will inevitably have to keep rewriting the same blocks.
I don't know if the flash controllers on the cards understand the fat filesystem enough to do any special wear levelling, but that might be the case and explain why cards seem to wear out quicker using ext3. I would propose that it's a good thing if you do put a swap file on the card to regularly delete it and create a fresh one so as to spread the wear.
--edit
-
BTW, for cheap 4GB cards I've seen www.7dayshop.com do them very very cheap.
-
Hmmm... is this the same for ext3?
Yes. The main difference between ext2 and ext3 is journalling. ext3 is ext2 with added journalling feature. Which advantages do you expect from journalling on a PDA?
Since journal updates accures quite frequent it in fact may add much wear to a flash memory card.

Perhaps I'm ignorant but I thought journaling might be good on flash memory so that it lowers the chance of something getting corrupt if you have it open when you need to cold boot your Zaurus because of a crash. *shrug* Maybe I'm mistaken.

it's also vital to check that your flash card is mounted "noatime" too so that every file or directory access doesn't result in updating the timestamps.

it's a balance. I'd hope that you don't lock up your Z too often, but if you are, then journalling would probably be a good thing - however, if you are really thrashing your memory cards with writes, you probably ought to get a microdrive. I'd rather get a corrupted memory card and reformat and replace its contents than have the card go bad.
Anyway, I would never keep the master and only copy of data on a memory card in case it goes bad or the device its in gets lost or stolen. I had a nice Viking ultra-hi-speed card stolen in a TomTom GO just before xmas
