evk imx28 how to mount a usb flash memory

[gennaro]

Hi all,

Thanks in advice for your help. I'm working with an evk borad. I'm able to compile and mount ltib. The board works, for debugging reasons I built the system to boot from network so kernel from tftp and filesystem from nfs. All works but now for some production reason I need to mount a usb flash memory. I recompiled the kernel with the following options :

• SCSI support (CONFIG_SCSI scsi_mod.o)
• SCSI disk support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD sd_mod.o)
• DOS FAT fs support (CONFIG_FAT_FS fat.o)
• MSDOS fs support (CONFIG_MSDOS_FS msdos.o)
• VFAT (Windows 95) fs support (CONFIG_VFAT_FS vfat.o)
• /proc filesystem (CONFIG_PROC_FS)
• Second extended fs support (ext2fs) (CONFIG_EXT2_FS ext2.o)
• Support for USB (CONFIG_USB usbcore.o)
• Preliminary USB device filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS)
• USB Mass Storage support (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE usb-storage.o)

wakeup the system and the log is :

here is the output of mount at startup:

It seems that usbfs is working but there are two problem I can't find in /dev anythings like sda* and I expected to find usb-storage-0 under /proc/scsi/ but nothing.

I try also :

modprobe -r usb-storage

mknod /dev/sda b 8 0

modprobe usbstorage

but /dev/sda seems not to be a valid device.

Do you have some tips?

PS: I tested with different pen drive

Kind Regards

Normally it isn't necessary to call modprobe or mknod. The devices are created automatically.

I think you should check the output of lsusb and the kernel messages after attaching an USB device.
