SD/MMC support in Locomo chip specifications
One user did reverse-engineering on original Sharp SD/MMC binary module and wrote specification about how it is done.
This means that the closed-source driver problem on the collie has moved from a problem of lack of information to one of lack of time for an appropriately skilled person to develop a 2.6 kernel driver.
Bounty
I have set up a bounty so that people who are interested in this development being done can contribute financially. The bounty shall be paid when a patch has been accepted into the Linux kernel upstream that creates a workable driver for the SD slot on the collie (discussions welcome!) --Laibsch 19:07, 1 January 2007 (CET)
Result
2007.04.10 Thomas Kunze announced working version of driver for 2.6.20 kernel. Test images are provided by Ångström distribution.
After boot you need to load two modules:
modprobe lomoco_spi modprobe mmc_block
Feel free to report success to the OpenZaurus devel mailing list. Failures can be reported in the bug that is tracking progress
