@mnfesq @SavageAUS Now it's a known, common issue that cards cannot be initialized with RTL8411B card reader. I will review the controller code when I am available.

Thanks for your reply. Might it be as simple as spoofing the PCI-ID? I've been messing around with that using Rehabman's old FakePCI-ID.kext and making my own injector but me writing my own kext would be like you drafting escrow instructions for a property sale. I do better sticking to what I know.

Scenario 1 Everything's fine.

Scenario 2 It woke up, the card was unmounted, reinserting the card made it show on desktop, and it paniced on second time on wake.

Attaching external link to the log and IORegs due to size limit. Thanks!

There’s just one problem though… The read/write speeds of my SD card are incredibly slow compared to Windows.

This is expected. Initializing the card at 3.3V means that the card will be running in either the default speed mode (up to 12MB/s) or the high speed mode (up to 25MB/s).

Your test result shows that your UHS-I SDXC card is running in the high speed mode, and it is pretty consistent with the theoretical maximum I/O speed.

Note that the DEBUG version slows down I/O transfers a bit.

Adding `-iosd3v3` seemed to do the trick! My SD is now being mounted.

Now I need to figure out why the driver for RTS5260 fails to tune your card thus cannot initialize the card at 1.8V.

Initializing the card at 1.8V means that the card will be running in UHS-I SDR12/25/50/104 modes.

Those numbers correspond to the theoretical maximum I/O speed in each mode.

If it helps, the only SD card that I have is this one, but I’m happy to buy any others in the future that you’d recommend for testing:

Your card is sufficient enough to test the driver.

Someone reported on Github that his SDHC card is running properly with RTS5260,

so I guess you will be the one who focuses on testing SDXC cards instead.

Oh, I didn't know until now that lower voltage correlated with faster maximum bus speeds.

Sounds like a plan! 👍

Let me know when there's any new builds that you'd like me to test, and/or if there's any further information that you need to know about my system.

@Austere.J I did test the kext provided by you. There are pretty interesting results this time.

Both detailed reports are different (first line) so I posted it seperately. This time the log says which line in which file created kernel panic, I think this maybe helpful.

I am a little busy recently, so I may not respond timely.

... you are doing a very great job sir 😊, hope this issue get fixed soon. Thanks

Austere.J · September 12, 2021

@Sherlocks @whatnameisit @gnpaone Please try this build.

RealtekCardReader_0.9.7_2232117+SLW_DEBUG.zip

Scenario 1:

1) Boot your computer without the SD card.

2) Put your computer into sleep.

3) Wait for a while, say 5 minutes, and wake up the computer.

4) Everything should be fine here. Dump the kernel log.

Reboot your computer before proceeding to the next scenario, otherwise the kernel log will be incomplete.

Scenario 2:

1) Boot your computer without the SD card.

2) When you see the desktop, insert the SD card. Your card should be working properly.

2) Put your computer into sleep with the card inserted. Do not remove the card while the computer is sleeping.

3) Wait for a while, say 5 minutes, and wake up the computer. Do not remove the card after the computer wakes up.

--> Check: Can you wake up the computer properly? Is there a kernel panic?

4) If there is no kernel panic, dump the kernel log.

5) Repeat the steps 3 and 4. Is there a kernel panic again?

Austere.J · September 12, 2021

@Fortitude Please try this specific build without the boot argument `-iosd3v3` and dump the kernel log after you insert the card. Does the card show up on your desktop?

Fortitude · September 12, 2021

@Austere.J Without the boot argument, the card still fails to show up.

I tried this build. I got a bit better results than before. (I forgot to mention something last time, last time I posted results (typed comments + files) by testing GPT sdcard, I also tested MBR sdcard too and I got same results as mentioned by @Sherlocks and @whatnameisit, it behaved differently as mentioned by me for GPT cards)

Scenario 1:

No Kernel Panic, everything worked fine.

Scenario 2:

1. First time sleep with card inserted: After waking up, the card got ejected abruptly as you mentioned in your previous posts. No Kernel Panic. (both MBR and GPT sdcards). I removed sdcard and inserted back to get detected again.

2. Second time sleep with card inserted (did not reboot after first time sleep - as you asked in "5)" in your last post): This time I got Kernel Panic (for both MBR and GPT cards) but interestingly this time Kernel panic log did not give any detailed report, so this time cpu processes are not disturbed and I think it's a good sign (maybe) but the KP reports are definitely different (in terms of process codes) for MBR and GPT cards.

hey firewolf,

also tried this version as my USB-Cardreader initially recognizing cards after first boot,

but the device will duplicate in device tree after sleep and wont recognize cards at all then :/

if i hibernate and then inserting a card afterwards, system just locks up :/

attached some ioreg screenshots and pre and post-sleep logs...

hope it helps finding a solution

seems the driver cant establish a connection to the reader afterit has been reinitializing on the usb host after sleep...

hey firewolf,

also tried this version as my USB-Cardreader initially recognizing cards after first boot,

but the device will duplicate in device tree after sleep and wont recognize cards at all then 😕

if i hibernate and then inserting a card afterwards, system just locks up 😕

attached some ioreg screenshots and pre and post-sleep logs...

hope it helps finding a solution

seems the driver cant establish a connection to the reader afterit has been reinitializing on the usb host after sleep...

After waking from sleep, sdcard will definitely be ejected (as said by @Austere.J and according to your ioreg), you have to remove the card and insert it back for your card reader to initialize again.

For the hibernation part, please refer to dortania's post install guide, it's working fine for me

i removed the card before sleeping and inserting again after sleep but then its not recognized anymore...

hibernation works fully but not with the kext, as soon i insert sdcard after hibernation the system locks up as said before...

so the problem lies somewhere in the kext for our realtek

@Sherlocks @whatnameisit @gnpaone Please try this build.

RealtekCardReader_0.9.7_2232117+SLW_DEBUG.zip 220.61 kB · 6 downloads

Scenario 1:

1) Boot your computer without the SD card.

2) Put your computer into sleep.

3) Wait for a while, say 5 minutes, and wake up the computer.

4) Everything should be fine here. Dump the kernel log.

Reboot your computer before proceeding to the next scenario, otherwise the kernel log will be incomplete.

Scenario 2:

1) Boot your computer without the SD card.

2) When you see the desktop, insert the SD card. Your card should be working properly.

2) Put your computer into sleep with the card inserted. Do not remove the card while the computer is sleeping.

3) Wait for a while, say 5 minutes, and wake up the computer. Do not remove the card after the computer wakes up.

--> Check: Can you wake up the computer properly? Is there a kernel panic?

4) If there is no kernel panic, dump the kernel log.

5) Repeat the steps 3 and 4. Is there a kernel panic again?

Attaching logs. There are no kernel panics so far.

BTW when you said repeat Steps 3 and 4 in Step 5 of Scenario 2, did you mean keep the card inserted and sleep, wake, and log? I could do that, but I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted.

And as always, thanks for your hard work!

scenario1.log scenario2.log

Edited September 14, 2021 by whatnameisit
actually attach logs

jmacie · October 29, 2021

can a 9.7 build be made without the debug? I don't know how to do it, but I'd try to learn if I could be pointed in the right direction. I saw the "nightly" section in the download section on github, but I'm no programmer, so I didn't know what to do with the info there. Thank you, johnm

Any progress on RTL8411b initialization? Just checking. Thanks.

dm4n · December 20, 2021

Hi,

Where can I find the brand and model of my SD Card Reader? The info isn't showing in System Report under Card Reader, PCI or USB sections.

Thanks

Try the latest one at https://github.com/0xFireWolf/RealtekCardReader/actions/runs/1628818002.

You can find the pre-compiled DEBUG driver under the Artifacts section.

As always, please attach the complete kernel log.

Please attach the IOReg or use AIDA64 under Windows to find the model.

hi firewolf.
i have a problem. i can't restart my laptop. i have to force reboot with power button.
also system response is slow.
is it debug version with flow log?
thanks in advance

EDIT1
i tested latest commit version.
normal boot
- sdcard is perfectly working.
- also system reboot is fast
after wakeup from sleep.
- sdcard is pefectly working. after wakeup, eject sd card popup. but mounted sdcard icon in desktop
- system reboot is very slow at least minimum 30sec to maximum 1minute

Try the new `-rtsxnopm` boot argument to disable the power management routine.

- Is your card reader recognized properly after the laptop wakes up?

- If you insert the card after the laptop wakes up, is the card working?

- Do you still have the reboot issue after the laptop wakes up?

hi firewolf. sorry for late.

tried rtsxnopm

- Is your card reader recognized properly after the laptop wakes up?

-> yes

- If you insert the card after the laptop wakes up, is the card working?

-> yes

- Do you still have the reboot issue after the laptop wakes up?

-> yes. still very slow.

most of features is working. just latest build lead to slow boot and reboot after wakeup

here is log

@Firewolf, there is a Linux driver for the Realtek RTS51xx USB card reader at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/stabilize-6909.B-chromeos-3.8/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_realtek.h

- any chance you could incorporate it?
