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.

Ha Le-Viet.

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.

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!

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.:

02:09.2 Mass storage controller [0180]: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) [104c:803b]

            Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0110]

            Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 20

            Memory at a0101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

            Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

I had change those number in info.plist to 803b104c. SD card still can not be read in Leopard.

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

[muhandis]

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.

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.

This driver works fine for me:

IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext.zip already have changed the string value.

Here is the original driver:

This driver is in alpha development phase, i only changed the Vendor & Dev ID and works fine.
