Need MemoryStick driver Ricoh R5C592 (part of R5C832/822chipset)

Using 2.6.24-19-generic,
I can confirm Memory Stick cards are not detected at all.

Thanks for confirming... I know the newest kernel at least (2.6.25.7) has an option for Ricoh readers. Does that fix this? I haven't had the chance to check...

Does SD cards work in your reader?
i have the rev22 too and i tried to compile the ricoh_mmc modules from 2.6.25.9 and add them to my 2.6.24-19 (ubuntu) kernel but now i have kernel freezes when i put in a SD card.

greetz, Andi

Yes, SD cards work by default for me with the Ubuntu kernel. Memory Sticks do not. Does recompiling ricoh_mmc do anything for Memory Sticks?

For me, the Cardreader completely doesn't work. i don't know why... you can try it, but save your original .ko files.

greetz.

Also using 2.6.24-19-generic (Hardy), on my Asus F3JP, Memory Stick Pro card is not detected. lspci info:

The built in sony memory stick reader does not work for me on Hardy (2.6.24-19-generic)
SD does work.
I have a HP dv2716ca.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I compiled with 2.6.27-rc5 and tried - the bug remains.

With the 2.6.27-7 Intrepid kernel, this problem remains.

Remove this from being a duplicate of Bug 202490. Although both are related to missing drivers for the RICOH media reader, that is for an xD driver, this is for a MemoryStick driver, and they are not the same.

Would someone with sufficient rights please mark this as a Wishlist litem?

With the 2.6.27-9 Intrepid kernel, only the SD works. Memory Stick doesn't.

Same problem on Sony Vaio FW series. Model FW21E.

Memory Stick dosen´t work

I have the same problem on hp Pavilion dv 6200. Memory sticks don't work. I am using the latest version of Ubuntu and the latest kernel. I also tried OpenSUSE 11.1 x64 (the latest), and many other distributions but still no success. I opened a bug too and it was marked as duplitace <a href=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/314903>bug 314903</a>

... thought html tags work. Here is the link again https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/314903

> Memory sticks don't work.

Right. We know. There is simply no driver at all for the device. Perhaps someday there will be one.

hi same problem with Sony Vaio VGN FS215E

removed windows so cant use memory stick slot any more should have stayed with MS?

dissapointed
si

If it's very important that the built-in reader work, then, yes, you should have stayed with MS.
MemoryStick readers are pretty cheap and simple, if you need to read a MemoryStick, then you should go with that.

How hard is it to get hacking on a driver for this chipset?

As was the case for the Texas Instruments devices: "TI refused to publish a complete datasheet for any of the FlashMedia devices rendering them useless anywhere except M$ Windows"

Still, the tifmxx driver was and is being developed.

So, can this possibly be done for the Ricoh chipset? Maybe it's even possible to re-use code from the tifmxx driver (MS specifications, code structure etc)?

Project page TI driver:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx

Maybe someone can create a new project in launchpad for this driver, set up the basic driver files etc and at least get a dummy driver up that detects that a MS or xD card has been inserted into the bay - so that we at least can inform the uninformed user that "Sorry, but there are currently no available drivers for MemoryStick or xD cards for your built-in card reader"

What about that?

That is a good idea. In my Asus F3E also, memory stick duo card does not work.

I'm just curious... is there any way to work around this issue? Are there wrappers that you could use on the windows drivers like we do with wireless (ndiswrapper)? Is there a way to access it using windows as a guest OS in VirtualBox?

I have not found any working ways to resolve this issue short of dual booting. In a host/client virtualization, the client only has virtualized access to the hardware that is installed by the host OS and identified by the virtualization program.

Kyle

SD cards work flawlessly out of the box. No extra drivers needed. I believe the duties are handled by mmc_block kernel module driver. Maybe also ricoh_mmc module, not sure.

I haven't tried MMC cards but they supposedly work using the following workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731892

The same trick doesn't work for MS cards as suggested by the aforementioned thread.

This is affecting me too (fdisk doesn't show me my memory stick but works fine with my sd card)...

Same request for Dell Studio 1557 notebook...

Linked to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/111089 ?

Marking as WontFix in the Dell project.

May this news http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Ricoh-joins-the-Linux-Foundation-970368.html bring any hope at solving this problem?

@VuDu, this is nice news

However, you don't need any hope for that driver.
I know exactly how to write it, and it is only matter of time before I do.
I already managed to read whole card.

@YannUbuntu, not this isn't linked.
We talk here about Sony Memory Stick cards, not MMC cards.

Finally, my Ricoh R5C822 works at all in Ubuntu 10.10, but first i had to do some few things.

1.- open synaptic and mark for install
     linux-headers-2.6.37-5
     linux-headers-2.6.37-5-generic
     linux-image-2.6.37-5-generic

2.- then restart : sudo restart -n

3.- goto software origins and enable backports

4.- then: sudo apt-get update

5.- edit the modules file : sudo gedit /etc/modules and add the sd module tifm_sd to load on start
     and make sure you have it: sudo modprobe tifm_sd
                                                 sudo modprobe tifm_core
                                                 sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1

6.- add some modules for dirs 03:01.x doing sudo modprobe raw1394 and sudo modprobe dv1394

7.-restart again, enter bios, and disable legacy floppy by selecting disable or in some bios just deactivate the boot search in a
floppy drive from the boot secuence (generally with space bar on floppy option in boot secuence, the number on the left side disappears)

8.- just in case sudo modprobe -r floppy

9.-install git doing sudo apt-get git and follow the above instructions

10.- reboot for las time and card reader should work

Important:

Do not try to pull setpci command for kernels 2.6.22 or above
And if you are using virtualbox (ose or branded) 3.2.8 or later you will need to deactivate the floppy support

I really dont know why the cause of this problem, but just for you to know, the ricoh card reader always works for me since 8.04 until 10.04, it just now in 10.10 i have the problem, but reading some forums it seems to be an old item since jaunty.

I probe SD and MMC, i dont use MS, so i dont know if MS support is present.
hope this info could help

Any chance that Ricoh e230 will be supported?

it indeed works, my fault, thanks

The r592 module works.

Thanks for writing the MS card driver, but I can't seem to get it to compile. Maybe it doesn't support kernel 2.6.38 yet? Additionally, this bug isn't a duplicate as MS!=MMC.

Here is the error I get:

Will this driver help to fix the regression of reading SD cards with Ubuntu 10.10?

07:05.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22)

Was working fine, not any more after 10.10. The above instructions seem to handle Memory Sticks. How to get SD card reading back to live?

Symptoms: Cards are recognized and do automount, but result in a read error.

10.10 contains 2.6.35, and it since it still uses CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC,
none of my code affects the SD portion.

Which kernel did work?
Did you try with different SD card?

Could you post kernel log?

I upgraded ubuntu and now I'm having the sabe problem as #145

Not working here as well on 11.04, x64,Kernel 2.8.38-8, same problem as #145

I got the driver merged in 2.6.39, so it will appear in next ubuntu version.
(That is minus support for old legacy memorysticks, that while works perfectly, isn't merged because kernel developers pick on minor details of my driver, and I have no time to redone them)

@Maxim: That's awesome news, but do you plan to make it work on 2.6.38? Coz' next Ubuntu release isn't till October.

I ended up figuring out the problem I reported up there. There was a difference in spelling of "freezable". After correcting the spelling, it worked fine.

All of the drivers for this chipset are now in the upstream kernel. Can this bug be closed now?

Thanks for the email. I'm having a little trouble installing the patch
being a bit of a newbie to ubuntu. Please coul you give me some
direction?

I think the method is to place the folder in places/home, right click and
open with the archive manager
this should detect that it is a software package and handle correctly
Or perhaps do some reading - official documentation or ubuntu forums for the
latest word on the subject
sometimes with Tarballs (fancy zip folder) you need to place it in the
correct place and ubuntu can be hardware specific so don't ask me
I haven't bothered trying it as my wife has that machine, good luck

The r592.c, driver for MS portion of Ricoh card readers is merged in 2.6.39, so it will appear in ubuntu sooner or later.

The ms_block.c driver for legacy memsticks (128MB and less) is not yet merged, but I doubt you need it.

Also, thanks to Unity, I use kubuntu now, and I exploring possibilities to switch to another distro to have up-to-date KDE.

Hello guys,

I have modified your source Maxim to compile on Kernel 3 and Ubuntu 11.10 (I tested 32 bit only), I have attached the patch here, hope is useful to somebody ! If someone need, I also have a version that compile on Ubuntu 11.04.

For all those with Lenovo T400, the 7.1 reader is not in the Kernel by default, and need to compile and install manually.

As for the original, just unpack anything into a folder, open a terminal and cd into that folder, then:
make
sudo make install
sudo make load

It will then reload automatically at startup.

Cheers guys,
Simone

Excerpt from /boot/config-3.0.0-12-generic on 11.10:

#
# MemoryStick Host Controller Drivers
#
CONFIG_MEMSTICK_TIFM_MS=m
CONFIG_MEMSTICK_JMICRON_38X=m
# CONFIG_MEMSTICK_R592 is not set
CONFIG_NEW_LEDS=y
CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=y

Any chance of a SRU with that set to =m?

SRU Justification

Impact: there is currently no support for MEMSTICK_R592 devices

Patch Description: Enable CONFIG_MEMSTICK_R592 as a module. This should have little chance of regression except on those platforms that support this device, and a mem stick is inserted.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 3.2.0-1.1

SRU was released without this fix...

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Oneiric in -proposed solves the problem (3.0.0-14.23). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-oneiric' to 'verification-done-oneiric'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Updated the Kernel, my cards are all there !!! I can confirm that it works so far.

The kernel in -proposed does NOT work. With the 3.0.0-12 kernel and the patch posted earlier, it worked. With the stock 3.0.0-14, it does not detect the MSPro card at all unless the card is already inserted before the module is probed. If the card is removed, nothing works until the module is unloaded and reloaded with a card already in the reader.

This bug is NOT fixed in Oneiric. Why is it marked "Fix Released" now?

@daniel

The patch enabled the CONFIG_MEMSTICK_R592 kernel config parameter. I can confirm that it is enabled in the 3.0.0-14 kernel that I have installed which is the one from -proposed. It looks like this fix worked for at leas one person (see comment #165). Even if this change does not fix everyones issue I believe that it does for some.

@daniel,

There is quite a bit of variation in the SD cards from different vendors. Have you tried cards from different vendors and do they all fail?

SD cards work fine. My M2 card in the MSPro adapter works fine with
the patch posted above, but with the new kernel, there is the
aforementioned problem requiring removing and reinserting the module
every time to get it to work correctly.

in my system it just works now after the latest kernel updates.
card: memory stick pro duo 2gb
computer: dell xps m1330
kernel: 3.0.0-14-generic

Memory Stick PRO Duo cards are still not being auto-mounted when inserted on the following configuration in 12.04.

What needs to be done for this to "just work"?
