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
