status: autopatching succes against 2.6.6
by Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 20 May '04

20 May '04

Ok. I dl'ed a fresh 2.6.6 kernel, configured and compiled it. Did as the INSTALL file (from the CVS autopatcher) said and everything went smoothely. My Sandisk SDDR-05b works as it did with 0.4.2 on the 2.6.5 kernel without autopatching. Notes: ------------- -- A weird (but good) thing... When I transfered a bunch of pictures that usually takes ~30 secs. it took approx. 1-2 seconds !!! All pics seems to be intact... (Maybe (dropline) gnome (2.6) buffers the pictures on the reader when browsing it; if not, I just broke the usb-speed-limit... :D (please don't fine me)) -- When I click the mountpoint icon in Dropline Gnome 2.6 it automagically mounts my cf-reader :) -- If I unplug the reader, I am still able to unmount without problems :) Keep up the good hackin' Daniel! Cheers, kamstrup

Autopatching scripts in CVS
by Daniel Drake 15 May '04

15 May '04

(Sorry, hit send too early!) Hi, In order to simplify the testing process a little, I've decided to move to CVS for future development (until all works fine and I submit it to the kernel). You should find it easier to test out my future releases now. But the new script could do with some testing. I have currently checked in a scriptified installer for the 0.4.2 driver release. This is exactly the same as what I sent here as a kernel patch last week, so I don't you need to test this like its anything new. I'm just interested in whether the autopatcher works :) You'll need to start off with clean kernel sources (but this is probably the last time you will have to do this unless we change kernel version). To download the release, run the following commands: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/usbat2 login (Hit enter, there is no password) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/usbat2 \ co -r release-0_4_2 usbat-02-2.6 Then read the INSTALL file, I think it should be clear enough to know where to go from there. This should work against either 2.6.5 or 2.6.6 I've also committed kernel debug logs that you guys have posted to another branch of CVS, so that I can annotate them and store them for future usage. If anyone has any objections to this, let me know. Thanks, Daniel

USBAT 0.4.2 for Linux 2.6.5
by Daniel Drake 11 May '04

11 May '04

Ok, next attempt: This is based on on the 2.4 code from the homepage (20031116), simply modified in minimalistic ways in order so that it compiles against 2.6. This could mean anything :) However, since I've run into mistakes in the previous patches, I feel that if anywhere, this is the best place to start tracking them down. Thanks for the swift testing of my last patch. Daniel

g'day The only issue with the driver is still the inability to unmount the drive, remove the card from the reader and then remount it with another card while leaving the card reader in the usb port..... You still have to remove the card reader from the usb port, replace the card and then reinsert the reader..... a small problem but it would be perfect to get this fixed. In about 5 hours or so I am leaving for three weeks in Hawaii so I will not be posting for a while. But I look forward to catching up on the project as soon as I get back. Cheers Geoff

usbat update Re: USBAT 0.4.2 for Linux 2.6.5
by Geoff Patton 10 May '04

G'day all As stated before, the patch worked for 2.6.5 gentoo-rc1 using devfs. If I understand correctly from Herald, I need to do this: * put a line "*.* /var/log/debug.log" in the config file of syslog (in most cases /etc/syslog.conf) I use syslog-ng and putting this in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf causes a syntax error and syslog-ng will not reload... I have output the log for syslog-ng/messages where syslog-ng stores its output by default: http://members.optushome.com.au/pattong/messages I hope this is OK... If not I would like to know what else I can do...... Anyway, this current patch works perfectly for me. Great work Daniel :) :) _*BTW*_ my current default system is 2.6.6-rc1-love1 using udev. Today, funnily enough, not using the patch and setting up these rules in udev.rules, I got the card reader to work as well......... ::} # Sda1 for USBAT BUS="usb", ID="2-1", SYSFS_model="SCM USBAT-02", Name="%k", So is this because I am using udev... ? Or do the love sources with 2.6.6 have a patch that works for a usbat device (it is not an option in the config file so I could activate it with /make menuconfig/ but it still works) ? Geoff

I am happy to report that USBAT02 0.4.2 for Linux 2.6.5 is working fine with my SanDisk SDDR-05b. I tailed and greped a bit around the various logs, and couldn't find any errors either... Daniel: if you need some logs anyway just say so... //kamstrup

USBAT02 0.4.1 for Linux 2.6.5
by Daniel Drake 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hi, Here's my next attempt at getting a working base for a driver :) It is based on the 2.4.x driver from the homepage. I feel I might have been a bit too adventurous when porting this - the smallest mistake will probably break the whole driver - but there's only one way to find out. Many thanks for the great amount of testing and feedback so far. Sorry that progress has been slow, it will unfortunately stay this way until my exams are over (by which time we'll hopefully have a clean-ish driver anyway!) but I have every intention to get this project completed :) To compile this I would recommend you take clean kernel sources to make sure that there isn't any of the previous driver left behind. You should then be able to patch and comoile as usual. Thanks. Daniel
