HI,Sudhakar
Thanks for your immediate response.
Until now, the method seems work fine in format SDHC 8G attach a
parameter by block number .
But when i using format , i get a warning: (This can be ignored?)
# mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/mmcblk0p1 8008371
mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
Warning: block count mismatch: found 1048576 but assuming
8008371.
I think i should write a detecting code before using formating ,because
sometimes i don't know what kind of cards were inserted.
I feel this step is a little redundancy , could we just format without other
parameters ??
I guess maybe it's caused by some functions in sdio_memory ????
anyway, thanks very much for your answer.
