Sill no SD Card

WayneL

Did the firmware upgrade with great hopes, but still no luck. No SD card visible on my Onion Omega2+.

I'd like to mount it so I can reformat it as ext4 so I can eventually make the SD card the boot volume and put a LAMP stack on this thing.

But, I'm unable to mount the card at all:

root@Omega-5D21:~# ls /dev
autofs mtd3ro ppp
bus mtd4 ptmx
console mtd4ro pts
cpu_dma_latency mtd5 random
full mtd5ro shm
i2c-0 mtd6 snd
kmsg mtd6ro spidev32766.1
log mtdblock0 tty
memory_bandwidth mtdblock1 ttyS0
mmcblk0 mtdblock2 ttyS1
mmcblk0p1 mtdblock3 ttyS2
mtd0 mtdblock4 ttyS3
mtd0ro mtdblock5 uinput
mtd1 mtdblock6 urandom
mtd1ro network_latency watchdog
mtd2 network_throughput watchdog0
mtd2ro null zero
mtd3 port
root@Omega-5D21:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0 /mnt/sda
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0 on /mnt/sda failed: No such file or directory
root@Omega-5D21:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sda
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt/sda failed: No such file or directory

I read that the new firmware is supposed to auto-mount the SD card in /tmp/mounts, but no luck there, either:

root@Omega-5D21:~# ls /tmp/
RT2860.dat lib run
TZ lock shm
dhcp.leases log state
dnsmasq.d overlay sysinfo
etc resolv.conf tmp
hosts resolv.conf.auto wifi_encryption_ra0.dat
root@Omega-5D21:~# ls /tmp/mounts
ls: /tmp/mounts: No such file or directory

root@Omega-5D21:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 5632 5632 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 62880 80 62800 0% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock6 25728 760 24968 3% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 25728 760 24968 3% /
tmpfs 512 0 512 0% /dev

At this point I'm glad I only paid $5 for this thing, as I'm realizing that you get what you pay for.

@WayneL Do you actually have /mnt/sda? I mean, mounting the card at /mnt/sda won't work, if there is no /mnt/sda... Also, you don't need to mount it in order to format it.

I had to create the /mnt/sdc dir before it would properly mount. Those are not created automatically.

@Brad-Buskey said in Sill no SD Card:

Default behavior is to mount card and usb-storage (if you are running on dock) under /tmp/mounts.

@Zogg-Baubas I didnt want mine there because I intended on using the SDCard for all future storage and a swap file. I dont like using /tmp.

The SD card mounts at /dev/mmcblk0p1 for me. I usually mount it at /mnt/mmcblk0p1 and it works.

I just received my onion 2+ day before yesterday and after upgrading to firmware version 0.1.9 b150 manually my 64GB SD now mounts in /tmp/mounts

Note: 0.1.9 b149 did not work for me.
