LaFonera SD Card Hack

Warning!

To access the GPIO follow this link http://boards.fon.com/viewtopic.php?p=17345 maybe it can be added to dd-wrt

Purpose

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

MMC driver for the LaFonera

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

Pinout of the LaFonera according to http://kwzs.be/~kevin/ar531x/gpio%20pinout.txt

GPIO	        Pin on LaFonera
0		TP3	
1		pin 5 of SW1
2		WLAN LED
3		pin 1 of SW1
4		pin 2 of SW1
5		RESET (!)
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
