sd_card driver for i.mx53 time out - users

19 Nov 2018


      Hi,all
I mentioned in  previous email that I am trying to use the file system in the tz_vmm demo and use the SD card as a storage device which is formatted as ext2. Now I have included sd_card driver, part_blk, rump_fs etc. in the tz_vmm.run script which I show it in [1]. But when I try to create a file in tz_vmm, I get this error:
[init -> tz_vmm] --- start test ---                                             
[init -> tz_vmm] current working directory : /                                  
[init -> sd_card_drv] Error: wait till issuing a new command is allowed timed out
I have no idea how to fix this problem, so I want to ask for your help. I also provide my test code in [2].
In addition, I saw in this link: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/genode/mailman/genode-main/thread/CABDqRrJei5p5JyM... , Martin said "Be aware, that you should not run 'sd_card' with Genodes Trustzone feature-set (platform 'hw_imx53_qsb_tz'), because Genode will then declare the ESDHC-IRQ to be unsecure to enable Linux to drive SD cards. Use the platform 'hw_imx53_qsb' instead when issuing 'create_builddir'. I know he is targeting genode 15.08, so I want to know how about this situation in Genode's latest version? If genode can directly drive the SD card now , does this meas the SD card can not accessed by linux because the ESDHC-IRQ is configured to be secure ?
Thanks for your help in advance!
