sdhc support

[muromec]

http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/patches/2.4...-sdhc.patch.gz

tested on 4gb sdhc card: read ok (except last 60 bytes. wtf? ) write ok.

Great! congrats...
Muromec, you are a motorola firmware predator already, but if qtopia bring sdhc support, they are finished!

Hi can you tell me How to instal it on my a1200e

(this patch suports sdhc with 8gb)

Thanks!!!

It's hard... requires cross compiling and linux kernel development setup and knowledge, with mkezx toolchain i guess.
(It's a patch against the kernel driver, so you need to rebuild the kernel after patching...)
I'd like if there was any tutorial, afaik, there is the motorola .doc in the kernel sources, but it's quite useless . And also, the kernel released by moto is afaik not functionnal, if you compile it without changing some bits....
I never been able to build anything for my A910, at least, but is it better on A1200??.

I would like to compile this, but.. my linux knowledge is very poor

[muromec]

here is prebuild kernel for a1200 with qtopia: http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/temp/vmlinuz_sdhc15

you need to add 2048 bytes of zeros to beginning of this file and flash it to /dev/mtd7 with flashcp.

first you need to place this file somewhere on phone. go to that dir and use this commands to flash:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=1 of=mtd7 # make 2048 zeros
cat vmlinuz_sdhc15 >> mtd7 # append kernel to same file
flashcp -v mtd7 /dev/mtd7 # flash

this not works with regular motorola fw`s, only with angstrom/qtopia

Ah, yeah, thanks to satisfy my hanger of tests.
i'll try if for sure later tonight ... a good occasion to try phonetools, too .
i'll use this windows box and RSD for that, and try these autobuilds, too, but i feel a little bit like a loser because i can't figure out what to do to compile my custom 2.4 A910' kernel... (except injuring motorola and ask them for a source cleanup...) .
Maybe i'll use the hainan code and only patch the mmc/ wifi related bits... but damn, it seems hard!

>i can't figure out what to do to compile my custom 2.4 A910' kernel.

get source, copy config from arch/arm/def-configs/ezx-<phonecodehane>, run

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- ARCH=arm oldconfig 
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- ARCH=arm deps 
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- ARCH=arm zImage

arm-linux-gcc should be in your path. if you have no toolchain, use this: http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/sdk/old/arm-linux-ezx.tar.bz2

I compile it without much problems, but nothing is true on the sources, i never could make it to work...
