PostPosted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 3:31 pm    Post subject: Card Reader Help (SOLVED) Reply with quote

I have a multi card reader on my laptop. Was hoping I could get some info on getting it up and running. When I insert an SD card into no lights and no mount.Here is my lspci output:

Code:

I think this is the relevant part pertaining to the card reader:

Code:

05:09.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller

05:09.4 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCI6411/6421/6611/6621/7411/7421/7611/7621 Secure Digital Controller


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What does dmesg show when you insert a card?

Code:
# dmesg|tail

Hi,

The following is what I get when I insert an SD card into my laptop

Code:

# dmesg|tail
...
mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD02G 1985024KiB (ro)
 mmcblk0: p1


Have you configured your kernel to be able to use the card reader?

I have tried using the guides... What exactly do you have marked in your kernel for the card?

The following are the settings I found in my kernel

Code:

# zgrep -i mmc /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_PCI_GOMMCONFIG is not set
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
# MMC/SD Card support
CONFIG_MMC=y
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_WBSD=y
CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD=y




Code:
# cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig



    Device Drivers --->
    <*> MMC/SD card support --->
    --- MMC/SD card support
    [ ] MMC debugging
    [ ] Allow unsafe resume (DANGEROUS)
    --- MMC/SD Card Drivers
    <*> MMC block device driver
    --- MMC/SD Host Controller Drivers
    <*> Secure Digital Host Controller Interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)
    <*> Winbond W83L51xD SD/MMC Card Interface support
    <*> TI Flash Media MMC/SD Interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)


hope this helps.

my out put of zgrep -i mmc /proc/config.gz

Code:

CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_MMC=m
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set
# MMC/SD Card Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE=y
# MMC/SD Host Controller Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
# CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC is not set
CONFIG_MMC_WBSD=m
# CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD is not set


I also have the same kernel configuration that you listed. Although, I see a difference in the first output of /proc/config.gz

Code:

My CONFIG_MMC=m
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
ONFIG_MMC_WBSD=m
# CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD is not set


How can edit these so they have the "y" as yours do, maybe this is my problem?[/code]

you have set the kernel to use modules.

You need to check if the module is loaded. List the loaded modules with lsmod. Use modprobe to manualy load the module you need.

Why don't you try recompiling your kernel with the kernel settings I gave you?

    Device Drivers --->

    <*> MMC/SD card support --->

    --- MMC/SD card support
    [ ] MMC debugging
    [ ] Allow unsafe resume (DANGEROUS)
    --- MMC/SD Card Drivers
    <*> MMC block device driver
    --- MMC/SD Host Controller Drivers
    <*> Secure Digital Host Controller Interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)
    <*> Winbond W83L51xD SD/MMC Card Interface support
    <*> TI Flash Media MMC/SD Interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)


A '*' means is "static" and loaded with the kernel while as 'M' means it's a module that needs to be loaded for it to work.

Okay, I reset them all to <*>. still no luck.

Code:

v2570nr linux # zgrep -i mmc /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_MMC=m
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set

CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
# CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC is not set
CONFIG_MMC_WBSD=m
# CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD is not set


Code:

mmc1: SDHCI at 0xc0209000 irq 17 DMA

From what I can see you are still using modules '=m' and not static '=y'.

Did you recompile the kernel or did you just do the changes and save them?

A kernel needs to be recompiled and the system rebooted before the changes take effect.

so try this:

Code:
# cd /usr/local/src && make menuconfig && make clean && make && make modules_install install && echo "Reboot now..."


This line will prompt you for the changes, then compile the kernel and tell you to reboot if all went well.

Keep me posted.

alright, thanks! Running that in the terminal and waiting for the reboot. Will get back to you in a moment. Appreciate your promptness and willingness to help me out ecosta.

okay after that. I reboot and:

Code:

zgrep -i mmc /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_MMC=m
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set
# MMC/SD Card Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE=y
# MMC/SD Host Controller Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
# CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC is not set
CONFIG_MMC_WBSD=m
# CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD is not set


Still the same result.

Here is more output before card insert:

Code:

V2570nr craig # dmesg|tail
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta: Raising subordinate bus# of parent bus (#05) from #05 to #09

After Crad insert:

Code:

V2570nr craig # dmesg|tail
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta: Raising subordinate bus# of parent bus (#05) from #05 to #09
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0xa000 - 0xafff

usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
NET: Registered protocol family 10
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present


I do not see a difference. Have compiled all suggested kernel configurations. Still no cigar.

Getting card readers supported in Linux can be a real pain. Have you tried booting a live distro to see if your card is working? If you boot one of these (in order of preference) systemrescuecd, knoppix, pclinuxos or ubuntu and the distro doesn't see your internal card reader it probably won't work with Linux. If it does work you can copy the kernel settings from /proc and recompile your kernel with it.

hmmm... yes it was supported fully in ubuntu install.... however I'm not sure about a livecd. Anywho, what are my options.. boot up if and if it works through livecd, look in the same places:

Code:

# su
#cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig


and look under the kernel options to find the correct ones?

I would use the systemrescuecd (which is Gentoo based):
http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page

1) Boot sysrecuecd &check the kernel version with uname -a)
2) Insert an (sd)card
3) See with fdisk -l if the card shows up
4) If supported copy the kernel config to you gentoo partition (mounted on /mnt/gentoo)
cp /proc/config.gz /mnt/gentoo/usr/src
5) Reboot into Gentoo and recompile the kernel with the config.gz you just copied (can be done with genkernel or manually). For best results kernel must have teh same version.

man genkernel
Code:
--kernel-config=<file>
              This  specifies  a kernel configuration file to use for compila-
              tion; by default genkernel uses the  config  from  the  previous
              build  of  the same kernel version or a default kernel config if
              there isn't a previous config.


From 'Linux Kernel in a Nutshell'
Quote:
If the /proc/config.gz filename is present, copy this file to your kernel source direc-
tory and uncompress it:
$ cp /proc/config.gz ~/linux/
$ cd ~/linux
$ gzip -dv config.gz
config.gz: 74.9% -- replaced with config
Copy this configuration file into your kernel directory and rename it to .config.
Then use it as the basis of the kernel configuration to build the kernel as described
in Chapter 4.

ecosta, do you have anymore suggestions on getting card reader to work w/o d/l sysrescue cd?

sorry for later answer, food and a movie can do that ;)

I had no difficulties getting my card reader working but I think Aniruddha idea is a good one. Boot from a LiveCD and see if it works. If it does, try and get your hand on the kernel and just use that or even better the .config file in /usr/src/linux

I wish I'd documented what I'd done. Sorry.

Alright, I downloaded system rescue cd and ran it in all hopes it would recognize the card reader (crosses fingers). And yes! it recognized the card!

So,..

Code:

fdisk -l
....
/dev/mmcblk0p1


I now know it is suported for sure. However, I followed your instructions.. and at this point:

Code:

cp /proc/config.gz /mnt/gentoo/usr/src

I get an error that /mnt/gentoo/usr/src is not a directory. I didn't know if I should create it and then cp the /proc/config.gz? Also, the kernel where slightly different. Mine is:


2.6.24-gentoo-r8
Code:


The rescue disc was:

2.6.25-r ##Ican't remember the last number.
Code:


I know you said best results with same kernel version. WHat is your alls opinion on where I should go from here? Thank you. I think we may be making some headway!

Hi sal,

My mistake, you should mount your gentoo partition first, then you can copy the kernel config.

1 Look for your gentoo partition's number with
Code:
fdisk -l

mount it on /mnt/gentoo
Code:
mount /dev/XYZ /mn/gentoo

where XYZ is you partition. Now you can copy the config

With the kernel there are two thins you can do:

1) Upgrade to the latest unstable kernel
2) Try your current kernel and hope it works :)
