MCF5329EVB uCLinux Compact Flash

[obidon]

I have the MCF5329EVB and can access a FAT formatted CF card using the LogicPD LogicLoader bootloader. However, I'm not able to access the compact flash using uCLinux (Built from LTIB 20061117). I have included the drivers for SCSI disk support (I saw a reference that it is needed for CF card support), MSDOS fs support, and VFAT (Windows-95) fs support. I'm not finding any option for a CF card driver specific to the MCF5329 so I wonder if this may be necessary.

I'm also not sure if I know how to format the mount command. With LogicLoader the mount command is: mount fatfs /cf
To mount the CF card in uClinux I assume I must make a mount point such as:
mkdir /mnt/cf
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf

This results in "No such device or address". I have tried several variations of this without success.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You will find that your compact flash cards come formatted as FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 depending on card size and the OS used to format the card.  You will need to read the MBR to figure out how the cards are fromatted.  This is a link I stumbled apon that may help you read your boot block.
