I can not mount the exFAT SD card

Takashi_Kashiwagi — Thu, 18 Jul 2019 02:00:55 GMT

Hi community.

I have using EVK board (8MMINI-LPD4) with fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx(4.14-sumo).

As the title says, the exFAT SD card could not be mounted, does anyone know How to Mount exFAT SD Card?

What I did:

added <IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " fuse-exfat exfat-utils"> to site.conf
added the following line to fstab

/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/card auto defaults,sync,noauto 0 0

mount command is OK, but I can not access mountpoint.

root@imx8mmevk:~# ls /media/card
ls: cannot access '/media/card': Transport endpoint is not connected

dmesg is as follows.

root@imx8mmevk:~# dmesg | grep mmc1
[ 2.307196] mmc1: SDHCI controller on 30b50000.mmc [30b50000.mmc] using ADMA
[ 2.492272] mmc1: host does not support reading read-only switch, assuming write-enable
[ 2.711695] mmc1: new ultra high speed SDR104 SDHC card at address 59b4
[ 2.712296] mmcblk1: mmc1:59b4 SMI 14.9 GiB

Please make sure that the card has right partition table.
I mean "fdisk -lu /dev/mmcblk1" should tell that /dev/mmcblk1p1 exists there.

Hi Victor

Thank you for responding.

I confirmed fdisk and df. By the result, mmcblk1p1 is existed but "Transport endpoint is not connected".

Do I need other settings?

Please check if the issue connected exactly to exfat.
I mean please try to create some other filesystem (for example ext3) on a card and mount it.

Hi Victor

Thank you for responding.

FAT32 was able to "mount" as follows.

Are there any other points to check?

It seems there is something wrong with filesystem driver.
Please try play with exfat-utils and fuse-exfat packages refering to this article:

Hi Victor

Thank you for responding.

I will try it and write a post when I understand something.

Hi all.

I understand how to avoid it. See thread below.

linux - Automount USB drives with systemd - Server Fault

As a result, the following three files were required.

/usr/local/bin/usb-mount.sh
/etc/systemd/system/usb-mount@.service
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules

Using the sh file, I can mount / unmount as follows.

root@imx8mm-var-dart:~# /usr/local/bin/usb-mount.sh add mmcblk1p1
Mount point: /media/mmcblk1p1
FUSE exfat 1.2.3
**** Mounted /dev/mmcblk1p1 at /media/mmcblk1p1 ****
root@imx8mm-var-dart:~# vi /media/mmcblk1p1/hoge.txt
root@imx8mm-var-dart:~# /usr/local/bin/usb-mount.sh remove mmcblk1p1
**** Unmounted /dev/mmcblk1p1
**** Removing mount point /media/mmcblk1p1
root@imx8mm-var-dart:~#
