BTW

I have recently changed my card, becuse old one corrupted data... ;)

...but only with low GSM coverage and sooner if I turned on GPRS.

I haven't realised because I don't use FR as daily phone yet, and when I tried 
it, I had good coverage...

Now I have a 16 GB C6 trascend card (TS16GUSDHC6). I have tried it thoroughly, 
and even on situations where old one *allways* corrupted data (low GSM 
coverage, gprs on, intensive use of sdcard, f.e. with evopedia) , this one 
works flawlessly

Hope this information helps someone.

I wasn't trying to discredit your words!
Just trying to help William with my experience. I don't even know if your model 
is exactly the same as mine ;)

I replied your mail only because we both have Kingston cards

To be more precise when I say it is incompatible with GSM I have to
add with my operator, my sim, may often used BTS, strenght signal and
so on. For others it works.

I think append-GTA02 is used by Qi ? - I use u-boot, the clock is slowed
by using an init file - can use for Qi or u-boot

/etc/init/sd_clk
_
#!/bin/sh

echo 1000 > /sys/module/glamo_mci/parameters/sd_max_clk
_

Add it to run on boot via update-rc.d

There is also a wiki page somewhere with more detail

My kingston 8GB (SDC4/8GB07) works flawlessly. I haven't had any corruption in 
the 4 months since I own it.

My kingston 8GB corrupts when GSM is on, some time with NSOD.

If you get corruption, is the filesystem directly unusable, or is it 
only visible after a reboot?

Could you copy-paste the append-GTA02 - file, please? Thank you,

Well, I take it back then. I guess I just got lucky. :D

I got one of these, and it's only corrupted once in many months of use:

 have a sandisk 8G card - using the default clock rate I get corruption
within a few minutes with tangogps or any heavy usage.

Slowing the clock down totally fixes it.

SD-card faulty?

2009-07-14 Thread Linus Gasser
Hi list,

is there a procedure how I can test whether my SD-card is supported with 
my freerunner GTA02? According to the wiki, my Sandisk 8GB C4 card 
should be OK (even though I don't find the C4-part). If this card is not 
OK, what is best in th 8GB-range?

Thanks,

Linus
