Compact Flash Reader?

Post by Chris Carle » Wed, 01 Oct 2003 01:46:47



Hi:

I need to get a CF card reader that works with Linux, preferrably.

I would like to get the Delkin one:

But this one is known to be compatible with Linux:

http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/im.asp

Sandisk also has USB 2.0 ones:

http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/sng_usb2.asp

which they don't assert to be Linux compatible, but that doesn't mean
they won't work.

I had a Zio Smart media reader which worked with Linux for reading, but
I couldn't write to it.

Any recommendations?  A USB 2.0 would be nice, since I've got some large
CF cards now.

Thanks for input.

Just about any low-end USB CF reader will work with linux. The cheaper
it is, the more likely it'll work with linux.

I use this one:

I don't know anything about USB 2.0, sorry.

I have used the SanDisk 6-in-1 reader under Linux.  It works perfectly
with the compact flash slot.  I haven't tried to use any of the others.  
It is, I believe, USB 2.0.

1. USB Compact Flash Reader, Help with setup

I am trying to get the compact flash card reader that came with my I-Jam
50 setup. It is a USB mass storage device, I'm running 4.2 Release #4. I
have the following devices in my kernel config :

device uchi
device usb
device ugen
device umass
device scbus
device da
device pass

The order above is the order in which the appear in the config file
(this makes a difference I thing).

I do make depend, make, make install, and reboot. The kernel does
correctly prode the device at boot time, I get :

usb0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
ugen0: SHUTTLE SCM Micro USBAT-02 , rev 1.00/0.05, addr 2
uhci1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xd800-0xd81f irq 10 at device
4.3 on pc
i0SC[A
usb1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci1
usb1: USB revision 1.0
uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered

camcontrol devlist -v give me:
scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0:
<  >                               at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0)

camcontrol rescan 0 gives me :
camcontrol: CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl failed: Invalid argument

and when I try to mount I get
mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/flash
msdos: /dev/da0: Device not configured

I think part of the problem is that I do not have a SCSI adapter in the
system and the scsi code isn't getting activated, but I'm not sure. Does
anybody have a solution, or thought on what to try next?
