Ricoh Co SD Card Reader

1 februari 2006

I finally got my SD/MMC card reader working on my Dell Inspiron 6000, thanx to the Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver. I have written a howto, which you can find in my Inspiron 6000 section. Because the driver is based on on the Secure Digital Host Controller Interface, this should work on every every card reader based on this protocol, not only on the Ricoh reader.

My first attempt was with the standard Lunux kernel source from Ubuntu. After applying the patches, it did not work. So I started with a fresh 2.6.15.2 source tree. For the nest steps you need to be root or use sudo

  1. download kernel tree tar from kernel.org and extract tar in /usr/src
  2. download the 3 patches from Sdhci-development mailing list, I’ve used the 10.0 Patches from the Sdhci-development list: http://list.drzeus.cx/pipermail/sdhci-devel/2006-January/000347.html. Save the patches to /anywhere/you/like.
  3. patch your kernel:
    1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.2
    2. patch -p1 < /anywhere/you/like/sdhci-0001.bin
    3. patch -p1 < /anywhere/you/like/pci-sdhc-0001.bin
    4. patch -p1 < /anywhere/you/like/mmc-respopcode-0001.bin
  4. config your kernel, If you have an Inspiron 600, you can try my .config
  5. build your kernel, for example:
    1. make-kpkg –rev custom1.0 kernel_image
    2. dkpg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.15.2_custom1.0_i386.deb
  6. reboot and hope for the best!
