Great the dream of extra storage is getting closer. You guys are all great at helping those like myself to understand and learn from your experience and expertise. Thanks you guys for making this a great forum.
Tried it out works great too bad all but one of my cards are sdhc. Thank you so much!

[eddiem5]

ok, I must be a dumb a$$ because I can't get this to work.

I extracted the tar file into the Extensions folder of the boot partition.
Ran the update.sh script to update the cache, chown, etc and than rebooted.

I inserted a formatter SD card and it doesn't show in Finder or Disk Utility..

Feeling dumb...

Update:

I looked in the Profiler under Extensions and do not see the new driver IOSDHC loaded at all....

[fgodfrey]

Hmm. I never looked at extensions to see if it was loaded and I've not tried doing what you did. I was always manually loading the kext after boot from the Terminal (so I didn't have to reboot to try new versions). Given that I'd call this "pre-alpha" at best, you may want to hold off, but if you're brave enough to continue...

1) Make sure you were root when you extracted the files. All files in the directory must be owned by user "root" and group "wheel" or the driver won't load. To ensure that the files are owned correctly, from Terminal do "chown -R root:wheel /path/to/IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext"

2) Run "sudo kextload -tv /path/to/IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext" from Terminal.

3) The output from that *should* tell you what's wrong.

Alternately, it may start working at that point. I suspect your problem was #1, but I'm not really sure what Type11's script does.

EDIT: Also, in a different terminal window, run "sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log". If the driver finds the card, it will output some junk in there (part of which is the size of the card). Between the output of that and kextload either you'll figure out what's wrong, or I can.

[eddiem5]

Well, I guess I am brave enough as I continue to play with this.. I appreciate your response and tried what you asked..

The permissions were ok, I had checked that already and also the update scripts from type11 does a chown..

I manually loaded the kext and here is the output.. It looks like it loads correctly but I get no response when inserting an SD card.. I formatted the card HFS (on another mac) just incase but that didn't help..

The formating will be a little munged but you get the idea.

WOW!!!!!!! Thanks for the work on this. Worked perfectly (I didn't even have to restart). I had a card in the slot before hand and as soon as I installed the kext with kextloader the SD card popped onto my desktop. I hope you continue and if you open up a paypal I will definately contribute. Thanks again

[Type11]

fgodfrey thanks for sending me the source I am diffing with what I have done and hope to be able to work with you on getting this sorted. great start!

[eddiem5]

Still not working on my end..

Doesn't load at boot time although I ran the update script which updates the cache.

If I load manually using kextload, it does load (see previous posting) but still doesn't recognize a card put in the slot.

After manual loading, I get the following:
bash-3.2# kextstat | grep -i sdh
90 0 0x2dfe1000 0x4000 0x3000 IOSDHCIBlockDevice (1.0.0d1) <61 17 12>

Also, no messages in system.log at any time during this process that relates to these commands and actions.

[Type11]

humm strange i can get cards to load read only at will with the ket he posted. Also I have gotten SDHC to mount! However little problem if you copy anything it kernel panics ;-) I will post later and sync code with fgodfrey.

[Type11]

eddiem5 can you try this kext? It is basically the same but with debugging turned way up. This will also give me some register dumps to look at ;-) Note that once we figure this out we will put it on the EFI partition but for now just use kexthelper to load it to normal place. Then do a kextunload and kextload -v on it to make sure it is running


It will look something like this in /var/log/system.log (make sure you are root to look at it or sudo) when it loads

I did what you asked, Type11. Here is my log file. FYI.. I loaded my 1gb SD card first. Even copied a 5.5meg file from it to the SSD hard drive. I got an error when I first inserted it, but tried again and it worked. I had a little trouble getting it to click the first time, that's probably why I got an error. Anyways.. After the 1gb, I tried a 2gb card that I KNOW to be an SDHC card. I tried several times, but got "unreadable" errors each time. Should be a good log for ya.. I did a "sudo tail -f system.log > debugging.log" just before loading the kext, so you should have all of the applicable messages. I love that we are working as a team on this. I just wish I wasn't such a brick when it comes to coding..
The debugging log is here.
