How to interface a second sd card (that operates in SPI mode) under the 4.1 kernel?

I am using the Digilent PmodSD as the second sd card for the BBB: http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?Prod=PMOD-SD

I’ve been following this forum: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19335&page=4

but assumes that i have the mmc_spi driver, which isnt found in the 4.1.2-ti-r4 kernel on my beaglebone: mmc_spi.c source file doesnt exist also.

In another forum, a person solved this by actually interfacing the second SD to the mmc lines: SPI-SD Card

I dont see how this will work since mmc1 lines on the p8 header are used by the board. And when i wire my sd card to these lines the Beaglebone doesnt boot up. Also the mmc2 on the p8 header doesnt have a cmd mode pin (mmc2_cmd), so i cant use these lines. There are another set of mmc2 lines on the p9 header but its also missing a mmc2_cmd and a mmc2_clk mode pin.

Any insight on how to add a second SD card?

CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y i set...

472 config MMC_SPI
473 tristate "MMC/SD/SDIO over SPI"
474 depends on SPI_MASTER && !HIGHMEM && HAS_DMA
475 select CRC7
476 select CRC_ITU_T
477 help
478 Some systems access MMC/SD/SDIO cards using a SPI controller
479 instead of using a "native" MMC/SD/SDIO controller. This has a
480 disadvantage of being relatively high overhead, but a compensating
481 advantage of working on many systems without dedicated MMC/SD/SDIO
482 controllers.
483
484 If unsure, or if your system has no SPI master driver, say N.

So rebuild the kernel without HIGHMEM, then you can enable MMC_SPI..

Regards,

Note it's been depended on !HIGHMEM since it's initial upstreaming..

I’ve managed to disable HIGHMEM from within the kernel. However im having trouble compiling. The usual ‘make clean’ and ‘make all’ gives me errors:

`

How do i compile the kernel with the changes made to .config?

Sorry, that's "headers"....

RCNelson, Thanks for you help so far.

When trying to compile the 4.1 kernel i’m running into an ftrace error:

`

arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c: In function ‘ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process’:

make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

`

Is there any kernel patch i can install to fix this error?

Also I decided to use the mmc2 lines for the sd card instead of using the spi bus. I believe that the pin configuration is correct but the beaglebone is still not detecting the sd card.

In the am335x-bone-common.dtsi file:

`

mmc2_pins: pinmux_mmc2_pins {
pinctrl-single,pins = <
0x078 (PIN_OUTPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /* mmc2_dat3—CS, p9_12*/
0x044 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /* mmc2_dat0—DO—MISO, p9_23 /
0x088 (PIN_OUTPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /
mmc2_cmd—T13—MOSI /
0x08c (PIN_OUTPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /
mmc2_clk, p8_18 /
0x040 (PIN_OUTPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE7) /
R13 which is tied to T13, p9_15*/
0x074 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE4) /* mmc2_sdcd, p9_13 /
0x048 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /
mmc2_dat1, p9_14 /
0x04c (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE3) /
mmc2_dat2, p9_16 */

;

};

`

`

&mmc2 {
status = “okay”;
bus-width = <0x4>;
pinctrl-names = “default”;
pinctrl-0 = <&mmc2_pins>;
};

`

I figured out that mmc2_cmd pin is the T13 ZCZ Ball: http://www.ti.com/product/AM3358/datasheet/terminal_configuration_and_functions#bc_15x15_T13

and that the T13 line is tied to the R13 line, so i configured R13 to GPIO output pullup and T13 as mode 3 output pullup.

Is there anything else in the device tree that needs to be edited in order to get mmc2 detected by the OS on the beaglebone?
