Re: [Query] Known Good SD cards
Hello, Am Freitag, 20. Februar 2009 schrieb Alex Fitzpatrick: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Supported_microSD_cards I bought a microSD-card together with the FR (http://www.pulster.de/index.htm?openmoko.htm) and this Kingston 8GB model seems to be supported looking at the given page. In contrast to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD#Prepare_the_SD_card I have 4 partitions on this SD-card at the moment: A small one (vfat) for the kernel, a rootfs partion and a kind of home-partition, where I keep personal data (both ext3) and a swap partition (which is probably not needed). Still I determine a strange behaviour running distributions from this card and also for data from this card used by my everyday-distribution (QtExtended) on the FR. Files seem to get broken after a while or temporarly can't be read. This might be due to the used uboot (from Om2008.12 for gta02v5_and_up) or kernel (http://moko.mwester.net/download/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin and several ones on the card) or something else. The question is How do you determine, if a card is supported? What is the procedure? What are the tests/benchmarks used? Looking at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Supported_microSD_cards again, it's not clear to me, how these results were obtained (green/red status). Is it like This card seems to work, because I haven't noticed any problems the last days... What about the bootloader? The table only lists u-boot. What about Qi (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi), which was announced as u-boot successor? Is it advisable to move to Qi?

First of all, make sure you're running 2.6.28 or later, there were some quite important fixes wrt SD cards. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
