Eyefi Card Firmware?

[chris mobberley]

Hi All,

I was in dire need of an SD card to use for some work and all I had was a spare eye-fi card sat around. Long story short it was re-purposed with a full format (all filesystem taken back to pure storage). A few years on and I'm wanting to use it for its intended purpose again as an Eye-Fi card.

I cant seem to find anything that suggests re-uploading firmware on to the SD card to enable the full eye-fi wifi support etc.

Any help?

I didn't think formatting affected functionality, just removed the software you can install on your computer from the card. Have you tried just going through the setup from the eyefi website?

I completely removed all partitions on the card via Linux as I needed all the 8Gb so there's nothing on it at all

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter.

All that you have to do to get it working again is to re-create the files that were there before you formatted it. You don't actually have to upload any firmware.

I wrote a script to re-create them at some point. I think it is in the git repository but if it is not let me know and I'll send you a copy.

Hi Dave,

Can you link to the git repo? I'll take a look around then

I actually was able to get my eye-fi card back to normal by just doing a simple full partition and format to fat32.  Does that not work?  I had some filesystem corruption associated with the special files that the internal processor accessed directly and couldn't access it.  By just doing a full repartition with the first and only partition being a fat32 filesystem, the internal microprocessor recreated the files and folders it needed.  Then it's just the same as your old eye-fi.  Configuration and everything is stored without the use of the SD Card memory.

Thanks for the valuable input I will give that a go tonight. At the moment the eyefi configuration script that has been made for Linux can't even find the card mounted so hopefully this will be the last part to the puzzle.

The eyefi configuration script can only read those special files, there is no direct way to communicate with the microprocessor, so it does make sense that it would not find anything.  I had the same problem when the files were corrupted or something.  I think that the problem was that I wrote to them using an arm architecture instead of x86 and there was some problem with bit lengths or endianess.  Once I reformatted it, the microprocessor recreated the files and folder.
