[opensuse] SD/MMC/XD Card Slot
For those who are curious and have a built-in SD card slot on a notebook, here's how to enable it. I have an HP Compaq nw9440 laptop with SUSE 10.2 and a built in SD-MS/Pro-MMC-SM-XD card slot. It doesn't work out of the box. I saw this person had the same issue and solved it: http://nw9440.narod.ru/

<quote> After quick investigation i have found a note related to Texas Instruments SD MMC pci controller. The one is quite old but remains actual for TI [and SuSE?] for pci device: # lspci -s 6.2 02:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) the command (now it is incorporated into /etc/init.d/boot.local) # setpci -s 6.2 4c=0x22 MMC controller works pretty good </quote> I ran lspci and found: jabba:/var/log # lspci -s 6.2 02:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) jabba:/var/log # ...and then I ran setpci: jabba:/var/log # setpci -s 6.2 4c=0x22 All is good with the world now. Next hurdle - the built-in fingerprint reader. Not sure what use it might be but I want it working. Why? Because it is there. -- k www.perfectreign.com -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I ran lspci and found:

What does this line do Kai? I too have a built in card reader on my lappy, but it's 6.4, and a different make. 06:04.0 CardBus bridge: ENE Technology Inc CB-712/4 Cardbus Controller (rev 10) 06:04.1 FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc ENE PCI Memory Stick Card Reader Controller (rev 01) 06:04.2 Generic system peripheral [Class 0805]: ENE Technology Inc ENE PCI Secure Digital Card Reader Controller (rev 01) 06:04.3 FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc: (rev 01) 06:04.4 FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc Unknown device 0551 (rev 01)
All is good with the world now.

This is a TexasInstruments specific workaround (setting a pci register) to enable the devices sdhci-mode, so the usual sdhci driver works with it.
