LaFonera SD Card Hack

Warning!

As of this writing (Mar 4, 2007), GPIO is not enabled on La Fonera.

Purpose

It would be nice to be able to attach a SD Card to the LaFonera for storage.

A kernel module is required in order to use the MMC hack. Using Rob Wentworth MMC drivers for OpenWRT or compile these using the toolchain on your LaFonera.

SDIO Pinout

2		WLAN LED

6		RESET button
7		pin 6 of SW1

Cheap SD Card "reader" (floppy cable)

http://uanr.com/sdfloppy/ describes how to build a SD card reader from an old 5.25 floppy drive connector. The description is for WRT but maybe this could be used with LaFonera too.

Bastard Sons of Dial-Up Episode 8 (http://BSoDtv.org/episodes.php) explains how to make an SD Card PCB.

There is a video on making a Floppy Drive SD Card Connector for embeded devices here: http://bsodtv.wiihost.net/Simple%20SD%20Card%20Connector.avi
