E6 patch - SDHC and SD support

[epinter]

This is the kernel I compiled with SD and SDHC support for E6/E6e. I don't have E6 to test, so shantanu tested it ... He said it worked on his phone.
I don't know more details, but I think USB storage, VR and camera should work fine ...

thanks for sharing it dude

dude flash it normally just like other f/w

Hey! Can you please, please compile this SDHC support as kernel module and put it somewhere? I don't want to install new firmware, but I would like the modules.

What toolchain did you use to compile the kernel? My cygwin-based one wont compile it...

And another request, if you could compile everything from kernel as module - I'm most interrested in crypto support (cryptoloop), then I could develop "wallet" software for this phone. Also all FS 's would be very very useful.
But just... if you please, just compile everything you can as module and put somewhere on the net, that would greatly help in some development. You can also try patching kernel for SDIO support and compiling as module...

please help i want to buy sdhc but how i know that dealer give me sdhc card

SDHC support isn't a new module or driver, it's a modification of existing code. If you want SDHC support, you must change your kernel (to change the kernel you don't need to change the firmware if your firmware is compatible).
I don't know any SDIO stack for kernel 2.4...
Crypo support it's easy to build, but I think a wallet software will be better with something controlled in userspace, like a file encrypted with gpg. Because you can have problems like the loop device active and mounted after your wallet software exit...
In my option, cryptoloop it's good to protect specific directories and files.

Yes, but can't you compile this *new, modified* code part as module? Like it should be some kind of SD card driver, which is patched, and then compiled as module. Should be fine.

Cryptoloop would be controlled by userspace, yes. And yes, I could do it 100% userspace (and did, with aespipe + tar), but we don't want to save unencrypted data to SD card - can be easily recovered. Only cryptoloop gives 100% safety.

Pleaase?

Or at least tell what toolchain did you use, only working one I found was for windows+cygwin. And that can't compile kernel nor any module... preferably one for linux.

Sorry, I forgot to say the toolchain:

I compiled loop-aes and it's fully working using patched losetup (tested with a fat filesystem. I will post here soon.

I think the module will compile, but you wont be able to load in your phone (the sdhc isn't a separated driver), without change the whole kernel...

I know cryptoloop is controlled, what I said was if the userspace fail, the data will be easily accessible.

i want to know now after flashing with this we will be able to have both sd and sdhc working or not?
