General Discussion / I Mounted A 2 Gig Sd Card!

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to do a NAND backup (then you can a NAND restore later if it doesn't work out) & flash to the latest Cacko ROM. It's a lot better than Sharp & fully compatible too . You'd get a lot more people that could help with problems as well.  [div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

OOPS! Of course I forgot that the download links are currently dead (oesf problem). Since you have an C860, and I don't seem to have a copy of the ROM files anywhere, then I'll offer you my own base install image [a href=\"http://grogsworld.dyndns.org/zaurus/cacko-1.23-c860-base-install-ghosting-fixed.zip]HERE[/url] that you can install using the flash restore procedure. HTH

I have not been able to make all my prepherals work under my Z.  So I have to try flash to other ROM later.  Onr thing might be related:

Do we need add the SD card info to /etc/pcmcia/config ?

I was wondering if this is the key issue to let hot-plug/suspend,... works
if I type
#cardctl ident
Socket 0 will show the info of my microdrive, but no my PQI 2G SD

Socket 1:

If you open the terminal, unmount the card (umount /mnt/card), suspend then resume, is the card mounted or do you have to manually remount it?

If I manaully umount the card, waiting for it be suspended, then resume by pressing "home" key, the SD won't be automactally mount.

Another question:  how can people who using sharp rom adapt grog's appraoch, whcih seems to work fine with ext2.[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=153458\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Does the card show up the first time after you've restarted/rebooted? Try to manually eject the card & then suspend. Is the card automatically remounted when you resume?

Depending on your results of the above tests, the fact that you can't set the apm scripts as I've lined out is probably the crux of the matter. The card needs to be ejected before you suspend. I would've thought that since Cacko is a Sharp-based ROM it would've used the same apm scheme. Obviously not.

If I can make some time (a very short commodity these days) I can flash back to Sharp & see if I can figure it out. In the mean time, if somebody else can shed some light for shelandy, that'd be great.

thanks for your answer.  I have some thing to share with everyone:

the SD did not show up after the 1st time reboot.   However, after I manually
# mount /mnt/card
it came up.  
The problem was:  I though it worked, so I started to install lots of packages into SD.
then pressed the on/off button to turn it off.
The next time I turned it on, the SD won't be mounted automatically, and I had no way to manually mount it because I installed the terminal package under SD  
So I installed another different terminal in the internal flash, manually mount the SD.
then every thing is back.  

However, since that, no matter how I turn on/off my Z, the SD is still mounted.  This is counter-intuitive.  I do not know why.  

however, I still keep the terminal program installed in the internal flash, in case the SD can not be mounted automatically again during power/off.

I can not answer this, because it works for me in different way.

Try to manually eject the card & then suspend. Is the card automatically remounted when you resume?

one of the difference between Sharp and Cacko is that Cacko has apm.d scripts whereas Sharp does not. check the scripts inside /etc/sdcard, they control how the card is inserted/ejected/mounted/unmounted
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

there is no /etc/sdcard in my sharp rom

(ps.  I have updated officeal 1.40 ROm and installed special kernel 1.4i [a href=\"http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v18h/zImage-v14i-C860.bin)]http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v...-v14i-C860.bin)[/url]

Hi!

I am using sharp-rom on my C860.
Like "grog", I wish to use ext2 for my SD.  However, I will use only ext2 on the whole 2G PQI SD card.  I check my /etc, there is no apm.d.  since "grog" mentioned that he got the problem when he used "bimbo"'s /usr/sbin/sdiomgr with one FAT partition and one ext2  partition, I guessed it is OK for me to use "bimbo"'s script with ext2 only.  
I used
mke2fs -b 1024 /dev/mmcda1
to format the SD.  It won't automount although it should.
I tried manually mount /mnt/card
It complained that there is some issue with the mount parameter.  
So I guess that's becuase /etc/fstab
so I changed the entry to
/dev/mmcda1   /mnt/card  ext2   defaults 0 0

Now I can  manually mount, However
It turn out to be, I can not see the SD mounted after I turn off the power and turn on again.  

So I guess bimbo's script has some issue with ext2 partition, not with two partitions.
Has any one a better solution to let ext2 partition work without sufferring from lost in suspend?
 
Another question:  how can people who using sharp rom adapt grog's appraoch, whcih seems to work fine with ext2.


thanks

I got the card & I don't think it works. The light doesn't come on, and installing bluez-zaurus doesn't seem to have done anything. It does recognize that a card has been inserted, though.

Code: [Select]

[zaurus@grond]<~>$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "CF CARD", "GENERIC", "", ""

I got my card today, I have no BT device yet, so start to do some home work first.  This looks like the same chip of Billionton Bluetooth PCMCIA card PCBTC1
[a href=\"http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=307603#post307603]http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.ph...7603#post307603[/url]
I googled Billionton then found this Japenese website
http://www.areanine.gr.jp/~nyano/cgi-bin/minibbs.cgi
Ha! This Billionton CF card CFBT02I looks like having the same chip as the PCMCIA card.  Don't know what exactly do those japenese mean, but it looks like that after some changes, (use the latest builds?)

, it can connect to AU W31T earphone,...
 

I will guess this CF use CSR chip.  
Some twisted in related CSR card (Ambicom BT2000C,  Dlink DCF650BT,  Socket Communications rev G) might help.  

I probabbly will try it later, since I am busy in fixing my borken linux desktop  
Keep me posted if you guys have some good news.
