This driver is intended to be used on any machine running Mac OS X with a PCI based JMicron SD Card reader such as the Dell Mini 9 or the Acer Aspire One.

It may also be extended to work with other SDHCI compliant hosts.

For compatibility check this file: Click to view attachment
And maybe others with this device:

The driver is available in the development page.

Another development: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/board,14.0.html

Thanks.

Yes, Apple has only USB cardreader. For PCI no any drivers. - edited: now yes!

Hi quinielascom,
my specs for the same are:

07:05.1 SD Host controller [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter [1180:0822] (rev 19)
07:05.2 System peripheral [0880]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller [1180:0843] (rev 0a)
07:05.3 System peripheral [0880]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter [1180:0592] (rev 05)
07:05.4 System peripheral [0880]: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller [1180:0852] (rev ff)



Do you think i should give it a try....

how is the performance ?
are all cards supported ?

it make the system slowly,if the card you used is low speed.
sorry for my english...

I have tested the kext and works fine. I can confirm that it only read SD cards, but its an amazing start because it is stilll in development. I have got beta 2. My SD controller id follows :

SD Host controller [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter [1180:0822]

Tested on HP dv2700 whith Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller and it works very well
read and write supported and quite fast

tested only with a micro sd card

Does NOT work for me. Thinkpad R61.

15:00.2 SD Host controller [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter [1180:0822] (rev 21)

Kill my USB mouse every time i insert a SD card, and SD card doesn't mount on desktop.

Any thoughts?

this kext works for me
thks quinielas u r great

Didn't work for my XPS M1330 but I hope soon could work

Didn't work for me. If I'll get the sources (it is OpenSource or no?) then I'll try to improve it.

Here is the new source code:

https://osxsdhci.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osxsdhci/

but originally was development here:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=62711

after in: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/sd-card-sl...on-t360s20.html

make improvements to sd driver.

Very thanx for sources. I begin to study.

Is this going to be the page for this project or can we expect a new posting so that we can become beta testers

Installed and working perfectly........well done.

Congrads Onzarob. I hope that Slice will be able to make it functional for everyone. Glad quinielascom found the drivers and started up this cause it is hope for everyone that has build in card readers.

J0hn Demented, what are your Vendor & Device ID ? some people (including me) got working the card reader with only change this value in two places into kext; first the under Content Info.plist and other Info.plist under Content/Resources folder. I not sure if edit the Content/Resources/Info.plist is necessary but i changed the ID also when i installed this kext.

Regards.

Not work for me. Mine is 0x11800843

Thanks quinielascom for correcting me. I changed the value but it seems doesn't work either. What should I do to check if it is detected by Leopard? The kext is loaded but I can't find it in System Profiler.

Regards,
Ha Le-Viet.

using pci express card reader,

works, think it goes over the usb , so compatible,
does not stick out, also need to disable usb boot in bios,
otherwise, it will try to boot from SD ,...
works with SDHC .

hardware hack,... otherwise, to use a usb reader, and hardwire it to an existing usb port,
most usefull , for a netbook, without an express card slot.

This is interesting. I was planning on porting sdhci after I finished with my current project (I know, it's taking awhile, I'm very busy...). Anyway, the FreeBSD driver is just as functional as the Linux one (meaning SD and MMC card support). Here's the source:

http://people.freebsd.org/~mav/sdhci/

I am not sure what I am suppose to add. Do you need any additional info from me?

With IORegistryExplorer you can check if it loads (of course if SD is available in the desktop it is not necessary), anyway attach a print screen showing the IORegistryExplorer with the SD driver loaded and there is a SD in the Card Reader.

Works on XPS M1530. SD only.... thanks

I made it works now. Detects a card after around 1 minute and can't read the FAT partition card.

Thanks so much for making it work.

IoReg see everything I believe. Its a little different then yours but it show up. I think my problem is I have a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro (MagicGate) so its not seeing that. I need to go find my regular SD Cards I suppose.

humm. guys in it goes into beta of final please update here. also ping here if the 50% or high usage bug is solved i will try it then.

Don´t work for my (Acer Travelmate 5720):

0f:06.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller [104c:8039]
0f:06.2 Mass storage controller [0180]: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) [104c:803b]
0f:06.3 SD Host controller [0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller [104c:803c]

Try changing the device IDs in Info.plist file to match the one you have.
There are two plist files in this kext.

1. IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext\IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext\Contents\Resources

and

2. IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext\IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext\Contents

Change the string in :

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x08221180</string>

to the device id you have.


The default value in the kext is for Ricoh i guess.
0a:09.1 SD Host controller [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter [1180:0822] (rev 22)


I am not sure but try using:

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x803c104c</string>

Yeah it doesn't seem to work with texas instruments sd controllers since I edited the two plist files and it still would not detect the sd card... Any ideas?

I think it'll only work with JMicron and Ricoh devices. I looked at the source briefly. I got the card reader to be detected but upon card insertion my laptop hardlocked (killed the HFS+ partition map, had to rebuild that, it was loads of fun...). For those that want high-speed support/4-bit data path support I can upload the recompiled kext with those features enabled if you want to give it a whirl.

Works well on my dell studio, thanks!

System peripheral [0880]: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller [1180:0852] (rev 12)

What I noticed :
i can not boot when a card is in the slot
SDHC 4GB (EMTEC class 4) doesn't work (and freeze my mouse)
SD 1GB (SanDisk Ultra II) works well

Yeah that would be great.Currently,as reported it is quite slow,any ideas why CPU utilization increses.
Does it use use DMA mode or PIO for I/O ?
I will also have a look at the sources to see if anything could be done in this regard.

Hi
on asus Z53S aka F3Sc test results:
<= 1Gb SD - works fine, but if card is removed without unmount, system after some time hangs up.
2Gb SD - system hangs up, card not detected
8Gb SDHC - not detected, not working if OSX booting with card in card reader, system hangs up on blue screen

And biggest problem - after installing drivers it takes about 5-10 minutes system to mount other HD partitions.

Thanks for your work! Waiting new versions

I have Acer 5580 with PCI card reader.:

It has high CPU utilization because the driver does not use interrupts. Apparently that is on the developer's todo list. I'll check out the latest source tomorrow and upload the kext.

I finally got it to work. I only have a 2gb wii sd card and it works perfectly. Of course you cant boot with it in the system but once you put it in after the system is up and running its perfect.

Another success here.. on Dell Inspiron E1705
It recognizes my Toshiba 256mb

Tried it on my wife's Acer Travelmate 4320

0f:06.3 SD Host controller [0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller [104c:803c]

no success, but will look forward to further developments.

thanks for trying to switch those ricoh card readers back to live !

i'll give a try tonight fingers crossed.

will i be able to read cards from my phone or my camera ?

gast, can't stand waiting ;-)

Hi fellows,

Here my modificated Kext to read SD card in a Dell XPS M1530, the PCI adress had to change from ... to 0x08221180 thats all foks!

Greetings!

no working on my lenovo F31G
not detected anything...

It works perfect on my ASUS X51L, but when the card is in use, overall system performance is slightly decreased.

Looking forward to further development.

This kext works without any modification on Dell Inspiron 1525 (Vanilla Kernel 10.5.6)

Tested on Standard SD card (Actually a microSD card with adapter 2GB)

I only hope that we can make the MEMORYSTICK PRO Available also.

The new version (v3) works without problems (you'll have to change the id on the kext though)

To Do for this kext: Memory Stick/XD

Also with this revision, is possible to boot with with the SD Card inserted.

I test this new release here are results:

1.- Minimum Processor usage (less 10%)
2.- Double speed rate (read/write)
3.- Support SDHC Cards (Still no tested)

I used the Xbench v1.3 Application below some screenshots

Thanks to all developers for this great work.

Thank you for this! Works fine!
Read ~ 1,65Gb @ 160sec Write 32Mb @ 5 sec.
I think you need to update the topic.

I dont know why but it doesnt seem to work for me!!!
When i reboot after changing perm/ownerships,deleting the mkext and doing kextcache -k /S/L/E .
I find that the meaasges during verbose scroll slowly,then i get IOKitTimeouts and black screen only,i had to remove the kext.I used the kext with 0x08221180.
Am I missing something ?

Im getting almost the same problem... I'm getting these messages:

class "AppleEHCIedMemoryBlock" is duplicate
Duplicate class
kmod_control/start failed for com.orByte.driver.PCGenUSBEHCI; destroying kmod
Failed to load extension com.orByte.driver.PCGenUSBEHCI.
Class "AppleEHCIedMemoryBlock" is duplicate

I can't find a duplicate kext, and everything seems to fail after I load the iosdhciblockdevice kext...
I have to go into -s mode, delete kext, clear extensions cache and then reboot, otherwise
I get a blue screen forever and evers. Can someone help meeee??

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... here is my output from lspci if it helps:

Don't use com.orByte.driver.PCGenUSBEHCI. It is too old! And conflict with AppleUSBEHCI.kext.
Both located in IOUSBFamily/Contents/PlugIns/


This kext is not for Texas, only for Ricoh.
