AR7554 - MMC card not moutable

mkupke · November 14, 2014, 4:58pm

Hi,

I use the (automotive) AR7554 on the AR7 EvalBoard and have inserted a 4GB MMC card. While booting there are several mmc0 output messages, here is the list from the dmesg with grep for mmc:

root@swi-mdm9x15:~# dmesg | grep mmc

yaffs: dev is 187695105 name is “mmcblk0p1” rw
yaffs: dev is 187695105 name is “mmcblk0p1” rw

I partitioned the MMC card using fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 and created filesystem using mkfs.minix on it.

I’m not able to mount the partition mmcblk0p1 to any mount point:

Where is my fault?
There is no switch to enable/disable the MMC card adapter on the EvalBoard and as you see I can access it via fdisk and mkfs.minix it should be mountable.

Thanks in advance,
Martin…

Hiya,

Are the minix file system drivers built into the kernel? Or are they available as modules for your kernel?

Have you tried using the vfat file system on your MMC card instead of minix?

ciao, Dave

Hi,

as far as I know it’s only possible to format the partition created with fdisk by a mkfs (make filesystem) command and there is only mkfs.minix available. There is nothing else, no mkfs.vfat…

As far as I can see, the fs (filesystem) drivers are already builtin:

It looks a bit confusing to me, there is a mkfs.minix but no filesystem for minix.
There are filesystems in the kernel (ext2, ext3, ext4, vfat, btrfs, …) but there is no mkfs support.
If there is kernel builtin fs support for ext4, how to format the partition without corresponding mkfs?

How to format and mount a MMC card on a AR7, which filesystem to use and how to mount it?

It looks like vfat won’t work because ‘codepage cp437 not found’. However this will be fixed in the next release of Yocto.

I was able to mount my MMC card by formatting them as EXT filesystem.
e.g

On host machine, format MMC card using mkfs.ext2
Transfer mmc card to device again and try ‘mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card/’ again

Hi esun,

yes you’re right…that works. It’s a bit tricky and confusing, because offering a mkfs.minix without support for minix filesystem. On the other hand no mkfs (make filesystem) for ext2, ext3, ext4, btrfs, vfat or whatever, but support for the filesystem within the kernel.

Okay…something you need to know. I guess it’s because of the the early stadium of the EvalBoard AR7, it’s still under development and more in beta state.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Br,
Martin…
