Mounting usb drive on iMX6

[kunalkulshresth]

Hi All,

I am trying to read content of usb thumb drive when inserted into USB hub interface of the board. After boot up I could see /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. So I understood that I can mount the partition and then read the files from partition. But after I run mount command (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/xyz) it does mount (there is no error), but mounted folder does not show anything, which is not what I expected.

Is My understanding correct in that I expected mount to work.

I planned to write a application to read/open the content (image) of the pen drive. But now, it is not mounting and I am not sure what to do next.

Any help here will be good and to clarify my understanding.

Thanks and regards,

KK

Hi Kunal

could you test this usb stick on windows computer

and write some file in it, then attach to linux and after mounting

check file with ls  -l  /mnt/xyz/

Best regards
