Re: QTMoko - Diffuculty trying to mount sd as USB
(sorry for the double-post Jose) Yes, that is what I figured out rather quickly :) I ran the commands again from QTMoko (v21) on my FreeRunner, and I still got a ton of errors. I then reverted back to v19, and still had the same issues. Then I tried installing SHR-t, and things worked perfectly, all of the commands worked without error, and I was able to see my phone's sd card as a USB device on my computer. I then installed QTMoko on the sd, and left SHR-t on the nand, so now I'm dual-booting the two of them. Thanks for your post though! I do think it may be helpful for us FR-noobs if someone could just put a note on that wiki page that it should be run on the phone OS, and not on the host computer. - Woody A Dijous, 15 de d'abril de 2010 01:49:57, swoody va escriure: Well, I've been trying my darnedest to get the sd card in my phone to mount as a USB drive.

For use the neo as an usb-storge you do need a kernel (on the neo ) that supports USB gadget drivers as modules 'g_*.ko' ( shr-u provides them on kernels 2.6.29). I have just followed the steeps on the wikipage and works ok (I had to disconect and conect the usb cable for the pc to recognice periferic change) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
QTMoko - Diffuculty trying to mount sd as USB
Well, I've been trying my darnedest to get the sd card in my phone to mount as a USB drive. I have been Googling and trying to use this guide from the wiki to no avail: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Using_the_Neo_as_an_USB_Mass_storage_device When I try to mount the /media/card I get an error that it's not found. Fair enough, I run 'fdisk -l' and the only information listed is my internal drive.

Thanks in advance! - Woody It looks like a kernel/module problem from the name of the kernel I'll assume you compiled yourself. Did you copy new modules over when you did? I have never had luck with 2.6.32 and mass storage mode. Try it with 2.6.29. other tips, if you have a swap partition on SD make sure it's off. Make sure your distro is on NAND and not on SD (I think there is a way to make it work from SD but so far I've only used g_file_storage from a distro on nand). Failing that, try older versions of qtmoko kernel (assuming you're on qtmoko and remember to use the appropriate modules). Assuming all that fails, use latest shr-testing, I know for a fact it works on this. If it doesn't work with shr-testing you're doing something wrong. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
