SDHC Update for 8GB SD Card shipments
| Synopsis | Due to material availability the size and type of SD card shipped with some Technologic Systems products was changed from 2GB SD media to 8GB SDHC media. This change requires a driver update for all SBC using Linux kernels older than 2.6. |
| Severity | Moderate |
| Class | Necessary software change. |
| Affected | All Cirrus Logic-based SBC operating with Linux kernel 2.4. |
| Status | New software available. |
Description:
Due to unavailable media, the SD media shipped from Technologic Systems is being changed from 2GB SD to 8GB SDHC. This change will necessitate a new SDHC-compatible Linux SD Card software driver.
Identification:
The affected SD cards are clearly labelled 8GB.
Necessary Action:
The new media will ship with the new driver present, however if the media requires re-imaging, a new driver will be needed. For Linux kernel version 2.4, simply replace the Linux 'sdcard.o' driver in your SD Card image (both in the initrd and the primary Debian partition) with the one located here and rename the new file to 'sdcard.o'.
