Yet another microSD issue on c240

(1/4) > >>

Chortishto:
The microSD support for c200 series was announced in the 071107 build. Not sure if it really works though.
 
I've just Rockboxed my Sansa c240 with the latest (071120) build - and it still does not recognize my San Disk 6GB microSDHC card. The card never shows up as a in the File directory.

So, I'm really confused now: does the latest Rockbox c200 firmware indeed support microSD or the trouble is with 6GB cards only?

pixelma:
MicroSD support works with my c250 and my "normal" 1GB card but - I have to admit that I don't know of anyone trying a microSDHC in their Sansa c200. It was assumed to work because the c200 shares a lot of code with the e200 and SDHC cards work with the latter.

So, you fully insert the card and it's not showing up as a < microSD1>* directory at the top if you browse 'Files'? Do you notice a change in the disk activity symbol (rightmost one) in the status bar that you could relate to plugging/unplugging of the card? Do you have the possibility to test with a non-HC card?

That said, if the SDHC card support really doesn't work, then this needs some work of a developer probably someone with a microSDHC...

*) without the space, had to add it to make this show up in the forum at all

Chortishto:
I didn't have a chance to test it with a non-HC card - so this is likely to be a HC-related issue.

When I insert the card - the disk activity symbol shows up - then disappears after a few seconds - but the Files directory remains unchanged - no sign of a < microSD1>.

pixelma:
Ok, this behaviour reminds me of the time after the first "microSD on c200 support" commit, where the card was detected but not usable yet as Rockbox wasn't able to read or write. When I plugged the microSD I saw a reaction in the statusbar but nothing more. Just for clarification, could you state the exact revision you are on (go to System > Rockbox info)?

Another thing you could look for is if Rockbox gets any info from your card, go to System > Debug > View disk info and then press "right". The headline should change from [microSD 0] (which is the internal memory) to [microSD 1]. In the worst case you'll see "Not Found!" there, in the best you'll get some information about the card and maybe it'll help someone with the right knowledge to get an idea where it gets stuck.

Finally I want to say, it's really hard to help or get to know more remotely and the forums might not be the best place for it. You could also - file a bug report, give as many details as you can (maybe answer the above) - or what I would imagine as easier - to get in contact with an interested developer in IRC (link in the left side menu has some details) because I don't know about a person besides you with a c200 and a microSDHC card.

Chortishto:
Ok, I was gone for Thanksgiving and didn't have much chance to respond quickly.

My exact revision was 15654 though I also tried 15509, the first one that was built with microSD support

I checked the Debug info - it didn't show any signs of < microSD1>, only < microSD0>

I'm no longer able to play with this c240 since it was a relative's player and I took it only for a quick check if it supports my 6GB microSDHC card. I myself own a Sansa Express which seems more promising to use with HC cards - at least, it reads the card after a native firmware upgrade though with many glitches that are really annoying.
