[SOLVED] Make to work Card Reader on ASUS X200MA ?

Xeratul · 04-27-2015, 04:07 PM

hello,

I would like to ask you how to make work the Card Reader 2 -in-1 card reader ( SD/ SDHC/ SDXC/ MMC) on the asus x200ma.

The ati is not installed- just default drivers x11 of linux debian stable.

The kernel is:
Linux Debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3 i686 GNU/Linux

Which package or module shall be run to get the card reader to work?

I am looking forward reading you and thank you a lot in advance.

The card reader is:

So what's the problem? Have you inserted a card and seen? Insert a card and see output of 'dmesg' command. Kernel might have recognized the card and may be partitions.

Blkid list metadata from a device. So if your card is not partitioned and there is no filesystem then it would not show a thing. Best is to see 'dmesg' output, as atleast it would show block device like uba, ubb, sdb, sdc.

I have tried two SD cards. I tried too fdisk -l ... but I havent seen anything.

Is it part of your laptop or USB one? Are you sure it is a pci device. Mine in-built one uses internal USB port. Check with 'lsusb'.

It is completely integrated to the notebook.
(no external usb)

I read that rts_bpp could be a possible driver with insmod rts_bpp.ko then depmod -a, I tried, but it did not work either.

I have tried and really my SD card works as a EXT3. However dmesg and blkid do not show the /dev/sdb1 as it should be expected

the debian has no driver or module for asus card reader

Please which module (ko) (for insmod) or package or tar.gz would give a driver to this ASUS card reader??

I am really hopefully looking forward a lot to reading you.

the card reader is here as you see below in the attachment on the left.

I need to get it to work with my 3.2 kernel

Xeratul · 05-30-2015, 04:15 AM

I installed the driver but no way due to kernel !

pastebin rtsx.c modified that work with the driver rts_bpp !
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=81cA7sYm

ok, I found that the issue is coming from the kernel !!

how to install a new kernel with syslinux boot?

syslinux.cfg on sda1

Code:

default latest
timeout 5
prompt 1
label latest
    kernel vmlinuz
    append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/sda2 pci=biosirq

Code:

Linux abook 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3 i686 GNU/Linux

the issue is the IRQ kernel !!

Code:

Hmmm.

Code:

sudo update-grub

is all that is needed after a new kernel install.

Having had internal SD card slots not be seen on my little netbooks has always been a kernel
things. Usually adding Liqourix sources in my /et/apt/sources.list and doing what is suggested at http://liquorix.net/ and installing their latest build solved that issue for me.

Or. A usb to SD card reader.

Upgrading syslinux bootloader to load your new kernel?
Hell if I know.

Maybe someone else can tell you.

Edit: If wanting latest and greatest Debian kernel.
That involves editing sources.list to testing , unstable/sid or experimental.

Then run a update. Find your newer kernel and headers. Install them.
Then roll back to old sources.list. Update again. Done.

Updating bootloader is all you are left with after that.

Make a backup of old /etc/apt/sources.list before though. If I was you.

Xeratul · 05-30-2015, 11:54 AM

OK. I found all! it was hard, very very difficult, but it works now using a regular KERNEL Stable Debian !!
NETWORKING + WLAN Work without installing a testing debian (using debbootstap again).

So much bunch of crap you can read on Ubuntu forums. I found the solution on a German and English Debian Forum.

1)
In bios, you let the SATA (and not IDE)
you activate the Vanderpool hardware manager/support.

2) get your syslinux to work with :

Code:

default latest
timeout 5
prompt 1
label latest
    kernel vmlinuz
    # this works to get wlan and networking card 
    append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/sda2 pci=biosirq pci=noacpi i915.modeset=1  irqpoll noapictimer

If you do so as below, you will get your wifi working. It will show up with wlan3.

Code:

# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan3
iface wlan3 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/blackspider/intranet.conf

#very basic without internet
allow-hotplug usb0
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map usb0
iface usb0 inet static
        address 10.11.32.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 10.11.32.255
        up iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 10.11.32.2 -j ACCEPT

I post above the rtsx.c file to get the network card working.

The lsmod shows up :
