Hacking an sd card

The size adaptors are just bits of plastic that run the contacts through, nothing active in them. A collection of micro-SDs and an adaptor should be fine for you, often you can buy a micro-SD plus the adaptor for a couple of dollars extra. Does the camera recognize the card? If so, have you tried formating the card with the camera? Sometimes the simplest hack is to your wallet… pretty cheap though. I want to see continuation of this research, but aiming at USB drive controllers Alcor and the like.

I would like this to go a step further and open all the billions of USB stick controllers to hacking. Maybe the wrong place to ask, but are there any reverse engineered documents on the elusive SD bus modes? This hack was done in SD mode ie.

Hence, these researchers knew how to use it, so details must be available somewhere — check your local FTP server full of warez and you may just find the required documentation. Please be kind and respectful to help make the comments section excellent.

I haven't tried one for a while. I don't know what a Mac would do, but my guess would be either native support or easily added. So that means that while it is likely possible that we can make the external SD card into a different file system type that for most users it will not be worthwhile; Windows will not recognize it which means neither Kobo desktop or calibre will either.

Ok, I have bitten the bullet and missed my siesta , and can report a complete success! To clarify, I do use Linux on my desktop and everywhere else! I did as I said I would Wouldn't you also need the filesystem to be world-writable? So that the cover images can be written and the database updated? Or does the Kobo software run as root? Nice work, it is good to know this option is available if Kobo don't come up with a better way to store cover images by the time I reach the FAT limit.

Edit: Journaling support is not necessary anyway, FAT doesn't have a journal so you don't lose anything by formatting the card ext2 without a journal. Last edited by GeoffR; at PM. Reason: fix url.
