CardBus/PCMCIA PC Cards for Leopard

~Eureka · January 18, 2008

hi chun-nan,
i did several test with my firewire devices (integrated and pcmcia slot)

seems the system hangs somehow, is slowest than before, but the activity monitor doesn't show up any problems.

the integrated firewire (o2micro) works, but it has strange behaviours. if i plug any firewire/dv hdd, it can browse any folder, but is so slow that it's impossible to copy any files, alto small ones.

if i connect a dv camera i can only remote it if a tape is inserted. No video at all.

i've noticed also same problems on the pcmcia slot.

it works fine but slowest than before. i did same test with my pcmcia firewire 400/800.

dvcam works fine and can remote/capture files.

if i plug firewire 800 hdd the device delay is really too much. i can't play video files without frame drops, the disk seems too slow (but it isn't for sure, is a brand new 1 tera firewire 800 disk with raid0).

p.s. the pcmcia with earliest version of iopccardfamily seems faster/powerull

btw, you did a wonderfoul job, no more kernel panic, and most important thing, you've enabled whole o2micro devices.i guess this is only a tweaking problem

regards

Hi snam11,

For the integrated firewire device, I think it may have something to do with IOFirewire* kexts which I don't know too much about it right now. I will suggest you try to restore the orginal IOPCIFamily and IOPCCardFamily to see if the same problem (if i connect a dv camera i can only remote it if a tape is inserted. No video at all) still occurs. Then use the rev6 and compare the result.

For the pcmcia slot firewire device, what I did so far is just try to enable and activate the pccard slot service so that the pcmica devices can be detected. As far as I know, after the pccard slot service is activated, you still need the right driver(kexts) to make the pccard device work.

Hi djmastera2000,

It seems that your PCCard Slot is detected and activated.

What I did is try to make sure the PCI configuration is accurate. You can see those two messages:

PCI configuration changed (BUS free=0 needed=1 added=1)

PCI configuration changed (bridge=0 device=6 yenta=1)

Chun-Nan,

Question for you - the kexts that you're distributing as rev6 - are they development or deployment builds?

Wondering about the messages is all

Or is this my card reader that doesn't work yet?

Hi all,

I've installed rev6 and my PCMCIA is working but FireWire tab in System Profiler says "unable to list firewire devices". I've checked dmesg and it says "FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 803a PCI now active, GUID 00080da0d13f83df; max speed s400."

Anyone got FW working with rev6 or can share some trick to make it working?

Hi chun-nan

since the beginning (tiger 10.4.1) up to leo 10.5.1 the internal firewire has never worked.

i've always get the "FireWire (OHCI): start - unable to get device memory" error.

i always thought this error was linked to the pcmcia slots because i've read this controller manage firewire/pcmcia/smartcard reader.

than i tryed to play around with pcmcia reading the post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=29583&st=0

and i've finally managed to get the pcmcia working (hexediting the iopccardfamily and editing the plist file).

both pcmcia and express slot started to work (but not the integrated firewire), so i bought a pcmcia device with 1 firewire400 and 2 fw800 port (with a ti compatible controller)

no drivers was needed because the card is fully compatible with the default firewire system kext.

i've done some tests capturing some dv tapes with fw400 and playng/editing some hd clips on a fw800 hdd. and it worked pretty good.

i've also tested express card using a multicard reader.

bad part was the random kernel panic if pcmcia was plugged in(or already plugged in) during the boot.

Checking the dmesg i've noticed the pcmcia had 2 slots ano only one was working:

IOPCCard info: Intel PCIC probe: O2Micro OZ711M1 rev 21

IOPCCardBridge::checkBridgeBusIDs invalid sub/cardbus/pci settings of 0x0

with your latest release, the full controller is detected and working, firewire ochi error is gone,and is finally detected:

FireWire (OHCI) VendorID 1217 ID f7 PCI now active, GUID 009fc0001a119e00; max speed s400.

but you know already what's the behaviour of pcmcia and firewire.

checking the dmesg i've noticed that the system has a tremendous slowdown with latest firewire error

ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defauling to full-secure.

(the error is shown twice if the pcmcia firewire is plugged in)

i don't think is a firewire kext problem same kext with early releases of your iopccardfamily works fine and pcmcia slot seems faster.

i don't have any professiona tool to check if the pcmcia is really faster or not.

i usually copy files and or try to play hd clips.the copy time and the playback quality/fluidity is my way to check if the slot is slower or faster.

equate:

has your internal firewire same problem as mine? have you ever tryed the internal firewire?it is o2micro or ti? dunno if only my 7134 has this issues or not.

I've seen this error on every boot, including installation. The default kexts seem to recognise my firewire controller, or at least that's the impression I get.

I'll give it a try later - I don't have any firewire devices here at the moment..

Hi Mariusz,

It happened to me even when I use the orginal IOPCIFamily and IOPCCardFamily. I haven't found the eason why it occured. What I did is switch off and on AirPort and it went away eventually. Also, when I tried to fix the permisions via Disk Utility and it went away. Maybe you can try to fix the permissions via Disk Utility.

My Firewire is recognized and activated also, i can find it in 'System Profiler' too, but never testet before because my video camera isn't at home lol

But i think it works...

I've just checked under Tiger (along with your IOPCCard rev1_fix) and I can see some device conected to FW but ist unknown, probalby there is no driver for my IDE->FireWire adapter.

Thank you Chun-Nan!

Hi Folks.

My PCMCIA WORK.

D-link DWL-G650 WORK.

AirPort WORK.

All this was because used the rev6 bu Chun-Nan.

Thank you to all.

Thanks Kizwan, Mariusz and EqUaTe.

Chun-nan, great job man.

Hi snam11,

I thaink "IOPCCard16Device" means that you have 16bit PCMCIA. I guess your pccard it doesn't have that gold strip across the connector.

"IOPCCardDevice: VersionOneInfo[0], "SCR243 PCMCIA"(match string) != "O2Micro"(CIS string)." means that your device doesn't match their database. I still haven't found where they store "VersionOneInfo[0]" information or I would have tried to take a look at it. Maybe someone who know where it is located can let me know.

Mariuz did you get your firewire working?

kizwan · January 18, 2008

Hi Chun-Nan,

I have tried your rev6 (both kext file). So far my PCMCIA/CardBus slot/adapter is working perfectly as it should be. No "physical" changes/behavior that I can tell so far, but it is working with my PCMCIA wireless card (Linksys WPC54G). Just like when I use rev1 & rev3 kext file. :rolleyes: I attached here my dmesg & system.log message.

Thank you.

Mariuz did you get your firewire working?

Macpo

Hi Macpo,

no, it did not work. It was only one time when I could see 'Unknown device' (IDE-> FireWire adapter) in System profiler under FireWire tab, but under Tiger, not Leopard. This is only one FW device I have access to, but it is not mine, so I have no chance for further tests.

Do you also have the same problem with FW?

Regards,

Mariusz.

macpo · January 18, 2008

Hi Mariuz,

I have this problem since rev1, the sysem profiler says "unable to list firewire devices". I have an Edirol sound card that goes with firewire, but it doesn't work at all. I think there must be a conflict between firwire kexts or something like that. The problem is that it is very difficult to troubleshoot, because all the firewire kexts load correctly or that is what the system says. Anyway if I find something I will let you know...

finetuned · January 18, 2008

Finetuned...

What you do?

You use test3 or rev5?

IOPCCardFamily or IOPCIFamily?

Thanks

I used test3 with rev5, both files (so IOPCIFamily from test3 and IOPCCardFamily from rev5.

robcad · January 18, 2008

This just say THANKS!!! to Chun Nan and Equate. I finally have a fully functional PCMCIA slot on my DELL Latitude D820.

Great work!!

Thanks!

Chun Nan IOPCIFamily rev6 leopard didnt work at all on my 10.5.1 system it crashed all the startup couldnt even boot in -s

i had no log but i could trace in -v the bug was linked to AppleIOUSBFamily that was having null mode or io null , something like that and the IOUSB was tracing till death.

I hope u can fix this bug, im running AppleIOUSBPCGen by Orbit available in the drivers section i dont think it's the problem but who knows!

Hi cyclonefr,

I compiled the IOPCIFamily from the source code that Apple offers on its website. I believe it is 2.4.

If you get the kernel panic after trying rev6, PLEASE check if you have replaced the following files to make your cardbus slot working before:

AppleACPIPlatform

AppleAPIC

IOACPIFamily

If you did, you probably need to find a way to restore those files first.

If you still get kernel panic, you can take the picture of it if possible. Thanks.

Indeed, if you don't have these files in stock form (or aren't sure), say so and one of us should be able to attach them to a post for you.

On a further note, it would also be helpful if you could take a screenshot of the kernel panic/hang, AND see if it happens with -v -f -s

Also, it would be worth restoring the stock AppleIOUSBPCGen (or if that's a custom-made one with no stock version, removing it) and seeing if that changes things.

Always work to eliminate things

hi chun-nan
i was reading the dmesg log of rev6 under leopard:

<snip>

are all those IOPCCard16Device info and IOPCCardDevice errors or bad things?

Hi snam11,

I suspect that Chun-Nan is right about this device being 16bit (that would be my feeling as well, given the details) - my guess is that this device isn't supported, and isn't likely to be.

That's what it's saying though - it's trying to work out what the device is, failing and going "can't use this device.".

Hi Chun-Nan,
I have tried your rev6 (both kext file). So far my PCMCIA/CardBus slot/adapter is working perfectly as it should be. No "physical" changes/behavior that I can tell so far, but it is working with my PCMCIA wireless card (Linksys WPC54G). Just like when I use rev1 & rev3 kext file.

I attached here my dmesg & system.log message.

Thank you.

Glad it's working

Grats on that.

One thing to watch for - if you get any kernel panics, or the system freezing, please document it as best you can (panics on boot, hopefully they'll be with -v, in which case you can take a picture..).

Hi Macpo,
no, it did not work. It was only one time when I could see 'Unknown device' (IDE-> FireWire adapter) in System profiler under FireWire tab, but under Tiger, not Leopard. This is only one FW device I have access to, but it is not mine, so I have no chance for further tests.Do you also have the same problem with FW?

Regards,Mariusz.

My suspicion is that system profiler does it a bit differently in leopard, and the device doesn't have support.

It's possible you could get support for it from elsewhere - what ide chipset does it use? (Linux & windows would be useful sources of info there - in windows use UnknownDevices - www.halfdone.com/ukd )

Hi Mariuz,

Was the card recognised before you started using Chun-Nan's IOPCCardFamily kexts?

Have you checked with rev6?

I used test3 with rev5, both files (so IOPCIFamily from test3 and IOPCCardFamily from rev5.

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend you upgrade to rev6 now - and report any issues you may have.

This just say THANKS!!! to Chun Nan and Equate. I finally have a fully functional PCMCIA slot on my DELL Latitude D820.O2 Micro OZ711EZ1 venid 1217 devid 7135.
Great work!!

robcad

Glad to hear it's working I think you must be the first person to report in either of the threads that's been using the same CardBus controller as me!

Have you checked to see if firewire devices work?

Cheers,
