I have tried two cards on FR:

Kingston C4 8 GB
Kingston SDC4/8GB 07

I don't recommend this one. It gave i/o errors when accesing the card with low 
GSM coverage and/or GPRS connection stablished.


I'm currently using the following one, with default speed values. I have tried 
intense I/O while connected to GPRS, with low and high coverage, and I had not 
corruption/lockup problems.

Trascend C6 16GB

On the back of the card:

258883 0698
8281BB 16G 010S1

The speed of the card won't matter as the Glamo interface will be the 
bottleneck even with Class 2 cards. The 8GB Sandisk works for me with uboot 
for multibooting. It looks like the Sandisk is the only 16GB card tested so 
far. In theory 32GB should work when they become available.

[QtMoko] [Debian] Which MicroSDHC card should I buy to install Debian onto?

[Brolin Empey]

Hello list,

I have a buzz-fixed rev A6 US FreeRunner (FR).  I am currently using QtMoko
v11, which is installed in my FR’s onboard NAND.  I need a MicroSDHC card on
which to install Debian.  I do not want to run out of disk space, so I
probably need at least an 8 GB card.  The Openmoko wiki claims “The Neo
FreeRunner supports up to 16GB microSDHC cards.”. [1]  Is this true?  What
is the fastest and highest-capacity MicroSDHC card known to fully work with
Debian on the FR?  I am currently using U-Boot, but can try Qi if necessary
(as long as I can boot both QtMoko from the onboard NAND and Debian from the
MicroSDHC card.).  I live in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, so Canadian
sources are preferred.

Thanks,
Brolin
