Image download using CF card
by Z2FybGlj » Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:53:01 GMT
My old board has no support from the vendor anymore and it is initially
running on
prioprietary OS thus there is no BSP. It used to run on CF card. The files
extracted are
1) autorun.cmd
2) boot.rom
3) config.xml
4) update.z - my research shows that it is a unix compressed archive file
update.z should be the proprietary OS. If i replace the update.z with BSP,
will the OS boots up properly?

Absolutely, positively, no.

1.Download CE image on a CF card
Sounds like you haven't tried anything. How about just copying it to the
card and making sure that your bootloader knows the drive number of the
card? You've told us absolutely nothing about the target system, either, so
we can't really point you to source code to read or documentation. Is it
x86? What BSP are you using?

2.'corrupted images' when using CF card reader
Hi there,
I've pretty throughly read through the threads covering problems with the
Camera & Scanner Wizard, but couldn't find anything addressing this problem,
I apologize if this has already been address elsewhere.
I have a Canon A80 and can download pictures no problem from the camera
using the Canon software. But if I try to use my CF card reader (LaCie
8-in-1) the images are corrupted (bads of incorrect colour). As I said I've
tried all the 'Camera Wizard' fixes but still no luck. I am using XP home
with SP2.
Thanks in advance,
3.How to identify CF storage card name with logical volume ( such as card created using ramdisk )
I have been doing some work similar to this.
You might try linking with storeapi.lib and using the FindFirstStore,
FindNExtStore, etc APIs. Once you get a handle to the store you can call
GetSToreInfo and it will fill in a STOREINFO struct. Here you can look at
the dwDeviceType member for the type of store.
Continuing with the handle to the store, you can call FindFirstPartition,
FindNextPartition, etc. to get a handle to a partition. Once you have the
handle to the partition, you can call GetPartitionInfo and it will fill in a
PARTINFO structure. Here you will find the volume name of the partition.
When using the above calls, you pass in a pointer to a struct (STOREINFO or
PARTINFO). Make sure you set the cbSize variable to sizeof the structure
you are passing otherwise the call will fail with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.
example:
PSTOREINFO pStoreInfo = NULL;
pStoreInfo = (PSTOREINFO) LocalAlloc(LPTR, sizeof(STOREINFO));
if(pStoreInfo != NULL) {
pStoreInfo->cbSize = sizeof(STOREINFO);
GetStoreInfo(hStore, pStoreInfo);
// do something with the information
LocalFree(pStoreInfo);
}
However, I don't know how to hook the insertion notification.
