problem accessing a sandisk compactflash card

hello,

I am working on getting access to a ‘flash’ card using a cardreader. The
idea is to develop on a pc host and then transfer the system on the
flashcard to a pc104 board (we are working on a unmanned helicopter). I get
it to work on win2000 and linux, but am unsuccessfully on qnx.

hardware I use: Sandisk 128 Mb compactflash,
apacer AP-CFCRIIU10 usb card reader

what I tried (as root):

#devu-uhci -V &

returned:
USB(UHCI), V1.10,V1.01, Jun 22 2001

tried:
#usb -t -vvv -V
returned:

    | | + Endpoint : 2
    | | | Attributes : Bulk/IN
    | | | Max Packet Size: 64

Now I am unsure how to proceed, it looks like the flashdisk is detected as
a SCSI device (which it also is in linux), but I don’t know what SCSI
driver to use or if that will work. I tried the devb-aha2 and further, but
they do not seem to work.

my question is if someone already encountered this problem and found a
solution. or if I need to get another way to access the flashcard. in the
pc104 board it is detected as a ide drive, and there is no problem
installing the complete qnx on it. so perhaps I need to get a ide
cardreader.

AFAIK USB card reader are not supported

You might try getting a CF->PCMCIA adapter, and plugging in to a
laptop,
or maybe you can find a PCMCIA to ISA or PCI bus adapter. Then you start
a new copy of the eide driver with the info from the pcmcia commands
(pin, etc).
The problem with the usb solution is that QSSL hasn’t released any
block
device or filesystem API information yet. - if ever!?

hi,

Thanks alot for your time, good to know I did not just have some settings
wrong. I will try to find a CF->PCMCIA + PCMCIA->PCI adapter or a CF->PCI
or something alike. And go from there…
