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.

cacko 1.23

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.

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

Mine too (Cacko ROM). So I'd gladly try your files!

make sure you have a backup before you play with it too much.
i would recommend a nand backup and a tarball of /

I'll first try it on my backup machine for one year or so until I install the new drivers on my main machine. The HDD1 error nightmare is something I don't want to see anymore!

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 ?
