[Feature Request] Provide a driver for Ricoh R5C822 xD card reader

[Rlgc79]

*** NOTE: this is a *wishlist* item - a request for new functionality. At present, and perhaps forever, xD support on linux is extremely limited. This issue is a request to have xD support added for a specific, and somewhat popular, chipset. Please do not add "me, too" items. We know that it doesn't work. If you want, please add yourself as a subscriber, and click on link to indicate that "This bug effects me, too" In the meantime, there are two xD readers known to work with linux, so if you simply must have xD support, those would be your options.

Now there is an xD driver for this chip.
Supports kernel from 3.6.31.
(http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44373795/ricoh_xd_3.tar.bz2)

The driver is now in Maverick's kernel.
You still need the udev rule to load FTL part of it.

Or just add sm_ftl to /etc/modules.

To install please do ./make && sudo make install && sudo make load

Note that this package installs several kernel modules, similar to compat-wireless
So, make sure that there is no conflict between existing mtd modules and these.

*NOTE* If you use kernel lower that 2.6.34, please be sure to unload the ricoh-mmc driver.
It conflicts with this driver.
This does meant that on this kernel you *can't* use both xD and MMC cards
To be sure that ricoh-mmc is not loaded, you should see the following output:
You can use a modified sdhci driver for mmc cards I attached.
Unfortunately this driver won't help on Mavaric kernel (my fault :-( )

On multi-format card readers such as:

03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 12)
03:01.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 12)

SD and MMC cards work, but Xd cards do not. This appears to be due to a lack of driver support for the Xd reader.

There is no need to comment confirming this issue on more laptops. Every laptop with a similar type of reader will be affected.

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

Same with IBM/Lenovo T61p. SDHC is recognized, xD is not. No messages in any logs or via udevmonitor.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

This fails to work in precisely the same fashion under 2.6.27-2.3.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

It looks like each card type uses a different controller (separate PCI device), and there simply isn't a driver in the kernel for the xD controller. See also http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2006-03/msg08781.html

I thought I have the same problem as #276484, which is marked as duplicate of this one. Sorry, if this is not the case.

[Dan The Man (onemanbanddan)]

Now, I'm very new to this, but I've just done the 8.10 upgrade, and my lspci | grep ricoh output is identical to those listed above. Dell Vostro 1700.
Everything I've seen on the web in the last hour leads me to believe that it's impossible to read xd cards with a built in reader using gnu/linux.
(not very) Interestingly, I just put ubuntu on this machine this morning dual boot, and when I fired up xp pro, it told me 'Found new hardware: xd picture card reader'. It had always worked flawlessly before in xp on this box. I guess I'm just going to have to stick with windows, because microsoft, quite clearly, make far superior operating systems than this geek oriented linux nonsense.

[stiv2k (stiv2k)]

I can confirm the same problem with the same Ricoh chipset on:

[Yossi Gil (yossi-gil)]

Same problem. Thinkpad T61 (which is not exactly the same as the T61).
SD card is read. But not an XD card..

Take note that the problem occurs in Windows as well, and an update from Lenovo is required.

See

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68053.html

Recent versions add more and more support for the XD card. Here is the summary from the Lenovo site:

Version 3.54.02

    * (New) Support for Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese installer program.
    * (Fix) Blue Screen on Death happens with System Enable/Disable with IO test on Windows Logo Kit (WLK) 1.1.

Version 3.52.02

    * (New) Added some SSID.
    * (New) Updated xD Icon design.
    * (Fix) The Memorystick and xD devcies don't work when the system memory exceeds 4GB.
    * (Fix) Kingston MMC plus 1GB might not work properly.
    * (Fix) SanDisk RS-MMC 1GB might not work properly.

Version 3.51.01

    * (New) Added some SSID/SVID for MS and xD x86 drivers.
    * (New) Summarized Windows Vista x86/x64 drivers.
    * (New) Supported uninstall feature on "Programs and features".
    * (New) Changed user interface of program installer.
    * (New) Added WHQL signature files for all drivers.
    * (New) Updated to support resource rebalancing for Windows Vista.
    * (Fix) It becomes impossible to access the xD-Picture card without rebooting the computer if once failing to recognize the card.
    * (Fix) Kingston RS-MMC 512MB isn't recognized on Windows Vista x64.
    * (Fix) Flash Media Card may not be recognized after booting the computer with a CardBus Card.

[toneman77 (toni-eleftheriadis)]

According to the text on my digital camera it's a SD HC card (Kingston 4GB premium pro)
It is/was the only card that was ever plugged into the card reader. Worked without problems in hardy, stopped working in intrepid.
I was only putting it in the card reader because I forgot that it didn't work in intrepid.

@Wojciech
             This sounds a lot like the udev with hdparm. Try removing file /lib/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm (place it somewhere else). Reboot and see if it works?

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@Wojciech Aniszewski

my driver consists of two parts, r852, the lowlevel driver,
and sm_ftl the high level driver that provides xD compatable FTL.

The udev rule I gave should load the sm_ftl after a card is detected by r852. If its isn't loaded "lsmod | grep sm_ftl"
try to load sm_ftl manually (modprobe sm_ftl).

The device that you can mount is /dev/smblka

Best regards,
     Maxim Levitsky

[Wojciech Aniszewski (pentahedron)]

@Maxim.
Both r852 and sml_ftl are present (i see them in lsmod).
Nevertheless, /dev/smblka you mentioned does not exist.

@Jerone.
I did that, no effect.

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely the square
pyramid and the triangular prism. The triangular prism is the unique
convex pentahedra having unit edge lengths.

(Eric W. Weisstein. "Pentahedron." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web
Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Pentahedron.html)

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@Wojciech Aniszewski

Thank you very much for testing.
First of all, try to remove and add the card.
I have seen that nand core very rarely doesn't detect it.

Then try to load the drivers with debug=1 (both r582 and sm_ftl support it)
And then see what you get in the logs.

What xD card you use?
(Is it type M or not, and what size is it)

If you could join irc 5 hours from that post, (I am MaximLevitsky on freenode and oftc), we could do some debugging.

The above is of course true for anybody that wants to test my driver.

[Wojciech Aniszewski (pentahedron)]

Sorry, I couldn't join the channel back then.
I'll be happy to try later, will look for you.
When I put the card out and in:
----(code 1)
$dmesg
[...]
[73418.876071] r852: card removed
[74172.784059] r852: detected xD writeable card in slot
[74173.088094] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0xd5
(Toshiba SmartMedia 4MiB 3,3V ROM)
----
As far as writings on it say, its FujiFilm XD H 2GB card.

With debug=1, only difference seems to be that r852 prints
---(code 2)
[80148.517617] r852 0000:03:01.4: PCI INT B disabled

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@Wojciech Aniszewski

Thanks for testing.
Well you found first bug.

My driver thinks that your card is 4 MB SmartMedia card (this was predecessor of xD),
But it shares same ID with your card.

For now, find file sm_common.c

and delete line

 {"SmartMedia 4MiB 3,3V ROM", 0xd5, 512, 4, 0x2000, NAND_ROM},

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

An update for that fixes the above bug (should :-) )

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

Can I kindly ask you to test latest version?

[Wojciech Aniszewski (pentahedron)]

Hello Maxim.
Yes, it works like a charm within Gnome and using 2.6.31-21.
Two days ago I tried it without nautilus and gvfs (I use Ion3 on daily
basis), I got some errors but now I see that gnome manages just fine.
Anyway, thanks very much, it's up and running !

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely...

[jerzy (jpiter)]

I managed to start your driver under Lucid, I replaced original "nand_ecc.ko", "nand_ids.ko", "nand.ko", "mtd_blkdevs.ko"
"mtdblock.ko", "mtd.ko", "ssfdc.ko" with compiled from your package. Of course I'd done back up original files. After reboting system everything works perfectly. I don't see any conficts, SD card works fine too. For the time the only inconveniance is the fact that the XD icon you mentioned above doesn't show in my gnome bar (tool mounting disks). After inserting XD card I only see blank button. By the way I use 2 GB XD H card so I removed the line: "{"SmartMedia 4MiB 3,3V ROM", 0xd5, 512, 4, 0x2000, NAND_ROM}" from sm_common.c before compiling.

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@jerzy. you probably use different icon style that default?

I also use lucid.
If you didn't do make install, you should copy udev rule I provided to /lib/udev/rules.d
It should then make udisk ask for 'gnome-dev-media-xd',which I provide.

I put the icon in '/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/16', '/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/32' and '/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48'

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

Maybe you can even put it in ~/.icons

But don't forget to remove -16 -32 or -48 suffix from the icon

[jerzy (jpiter)]

I did make install during installation. I checked icons directory /usr/share/... File with picture is present, I checked also udev rules wich also exist in /lib/udev/rules.d. It helped to copy icon to ~/.icons directory.

[jerzy (jpiter)]

I use 24 bit color depth, and can't use 32 because I have graphics card Intel X3100 (GM965) and default ubuntu driver doesn't support such depth. Probably that is why I hadn't seen the icon.

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@jerzy

24 and 32 bit depths are exactly the same
The icons I created are SVG, and the suffix is its recommended size, not bit depth.
(SVG is supposed to be scalable, but in practicable, its not....)

I think you just use non default icon theme.
But anyway this is really minor issue.
Thanks for testing

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

> I'll try to get my hands on an Olympus camera, and make sure that it is happy with media processed by them.

Worked perfectly. I spent the past week diving with Olympus loaner cameras, and the driver worked fine with the older models that still used xD media.

Thanks for the effort, Maxim! I know that xD is a dead format, but there are still people using it, who will appreciate all of the work you've done!

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

Now the driver is committed upstream to what will became 2.6.35
Since ubuntu 10.10 is will be based on this kernel, I guess soon I could close this bug

[Jerone Young (jerone)]

@Maxim
             Best to wait to close. What you wan to ensure is once the 2.6.35 kernel is pulled in for 10.10 that the kernel config option to enable the driver is enabled.

[Misosofos (misosofos)]

It doesn't work :(

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@Misosofos could you explain why?

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

we figured out what problem was, and I want to repeat to *anyone* here listening:

If you have kernel below 2.6.34, you need to:

Unload and blacklist ricoh_mmc module.
To do so:

sudo modprobe -r ricoh_mmc

and then add
blacklist ricoh_mmc to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

This will make it impossible to use MMC cards, update the kernel if you want to use both.

(You can load that module manually to temporally regain ability to read MMC cards)

I have that reader too, and Alex Dubov wrote an xD driver for it.
It isn't compatable with modern kernels.

In future I rewrite his driver and make this xD reader work.

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

Due to unexpected turn of events (sometimes it pays to ask a question) I was told that mmc controller that ricoh-mmc disables in fact is almost standard sdhci controller.

Therefore I patched the sdhci kernel driver and now it binds to both sdhci and mmc devices and therefore allows you to use sd,sdhi,mmc and xD cards at same time.

The driver modified to compile under 10.4 kernel is attached.

To use first unload the ricoh-mmc (if you didn't already)

$ sudo modprobe -r ricoh_mmc

To make this permanent blacklist it (if you didn't already)
to do so:

$ echo ricoh_mmc | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_ricoh_mmc.conf

Now compile & install:

$ make
$ sudo make install

Unload current driver:
$ modprobe -r sdhci_pci
$ modprobe -r sdhci

assure that new driver is seen
to do so ensure that you see the 'extra':

$ modinfo sdhci-pci | grep filename
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-18-generic/extra/sdhci-pci.ko

Now load patched driver: (on next boot it will be loaded automaticly)
$ modprobe -r sdhci_pci
$ modprobe -r sdhci

note that due to bug (you probably seen it) don't try to suspend the system while sd/sdhc/mmc card is in slot
This just hands the system
I know the cause, but fix is far from trivial.
(Its not my fault)

This is updated backport of mmc subsystem.

Not only this version binds and works correctly with mmc cards without need of mmc disabler, but it also contains a fix for hangs on suspend/resume. Now you can suspend and resume the system with the card normally.

[Misosofos (misosofos)]

What if we installed previous version? Can we just run this script, or we
need to whitelist the mmc kernel module?

Thank you.

@Misosofus, I didn't understand what you mean.

The modified sdhci driver I just published allows you to use mmc cards without ricoh_mmc.
It just uses it the same way windows does

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

Just note that 'Fix isn't yet fully released'

That is driver won't load automatically, so you need the udev rule that I have in my package.

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

This patch adds the udev rule to load my driver automatically.
It was posted on linux-hotplug@vger, but no reaction yet.

It is still not enough for out of box experience.
Another rule for udisk in needed.

[Misosofos (misosofos)]

I tried to patch with patch -p0 < filename

In which folder is necessary to put the patch file?

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

You don't need it.
As you probably already know my driver consists on 2 parts, a lowlevel driver r852, and it is loaded automatically,
and high-level sm_ftl which implements wear leveling according to xD standard.

The problem is that sm_ftl isn't loaded automatically.
(In the package I provided, there is an udev rule that loads the ftl automatically)

This patch does the same but in generic and clean way.
It is intended to patch udev sources.

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

This udev patch is now included in udev-158.
I hope maveric will use it.

The only thing that isn't 'working' yet, (and you probably noticed it) is that xD card isn't automounted.

This is partially thanks to this piece of hardcoded code (devicekit and its friends are full of this junk):

                      if (g_strcmp0 (connection_interface, "usb") == 0 ||
                          g_strcmp0 (connection_interface, "firewire") == 0 ||
                          g_strcmp0 (connection_interface, "sdio") == 0 ||
                          gdu_device_is_optical_disc (drive_device))
                        {
                          volume->should_automount = TRUE;
                        }

in package 'gvfs', gvfs/monitor/ggduvolume.c

[Roman Krylov (volyrkr)]

Tested my xd ricoh reader with 2.6.35 mainline - had to modprobe ssfdc it manually since I did not find udev rule in the package for it. Found a rule for sm_ftl only. It works now, thank you so much!

[Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky)]

@Roman Krylov, note that you can use sm_ftl too.
ssfdc is read only driver. Very safe though.

sm_ftl is read/write driver. It works ok here. It is of course (as anything that is RW) a bit less safe.

[jerzy (jpiter)]

maxim, could you tell when your driver is going to be included in main stream linux kernel?

Hello Maxim, when you can rewrite driver for JMicron reader? Thanks.
