Afterentering the serial # for my laptop on hp.com, no Windows 10 drivers are offered for the JMicron Media Card Reader. I used the one for Windows 8.1 (sp57014) with no errors, but has a later driver been released?

Hi, finally I found this great forum that help me with many drivers that I use under XP and my new Asus Z87 deluxe-dual mobo !

Now I found a big problem in win 8.1 last Update. I HAve some old IDE hard Discks and I bought a PCI-IDE card for my mobo. IS a JMB36X card and on my old win 7 I had no problem. Also with win 8.1 there are no problem , but with the new update my JMB36X card stall my system when I try to copy big file on my IDE HArd Disks. Before the win 8.1 last update I have no problem at all.

I use the last 1.17.65.11 Jmicron driver.

Sometime the first file I copy, when I turn on the system , the copy is successful. But if I try to copy another time the system stall for about 6-8 seconds and the files copy stop. The system continues to be stalled for 6-8 seconds and the goes well for about 6-8 seconds. And so on ! The only thing to do is to reboot the system or, seeing I have IDE removable disks , I must cut off the power to the IDE disk and the system goes well.

I think that this problem due to driver, It is possible for you ?

If your JMicron JMB36x Controller is running in RAID mode, you will not be able to replace the JMicron driver by an MS IDE driver.

Nevertheless you may check according to my last post, if any device is compatible with the currently running "JMicron JMB36X Controller".

Correct.

If the device "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller" will be shown as compatible, you can choose it. After the reboot the device will be listed within the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager.

This verifies, that the JMicron Controller is running in AHCI mode.

That is why the Device Manager has offered the MS Standard AHCI Controller as compatible device.

Nevertheless I do not understand, why your connected HDD and Optical Drive has not been detected by the MS AHCI driver.

You probably have to stick with the JMicron driver.

Alternatively you may do a Google search for another driver for the JMicron SATA Controller "DEV_2363&CC_0106".

I am developing an SDIO driver for an HP EliteBook 8460w running Windows

7 64-bit. It comes with the Jmicron PCIe SD Host Controller and Jmicron

PCIe SD/MMC Host Controller under the Memory Technology Driver in Device

Manager. I am having problems with these Jmicron drivers, will

appreciate any pointers on how to get them to cooperate.

When I insert my device into the SD port, the Jmicron drivers cut off

its power after exchanging a few commands. In contrast, a Windows XP

machine with the SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller keeps my card

powered and prompts me for a driver, at which point I can successfully

load the mars sample driver.

I can't seem to hot swap an external SATA drive. I can use the wizard to safely remove it, but reconnecting doesn't do anything unless I reboot. I use a thermaltake dock, and I would like to swap in my backup drive sometimes to do images (they take all day over USB). I can reboot, but I'd like to use hot swap.

Hotplugging is a basic SATA feature but proper support requires the device to be running in native command mode (AHCI), not with IDE emulation. So your BIOS (or at least the controller, if the controller is not on the motherboard) needs to be set to AHCI mode. Proper hotplug support also includes a proper SATA power connector.

According to this 2008 Tomshardware post, the JMicron JMB363 chipset supports hotplugging but the manufacturer's drivers don't. The poster recommends using a 3rd-party software called HotSwap (original link, broken) to enable this functionality.

"The Hub and all the drives work properly except if they are connected with some new USB 3.1 to Sata external enclosures I got. These new enclosures use a chip set from Jmicron. (JMS576) The drives when connected with the new enclosure will mount and can be accessed and shared but will either not spin down at all or will not spin up properly if they did actually spin down.

NAS access will fail because the drive can't be accessed though it has actually span up from sleep. Sometimes if I wait long enough it will gain access and start working correctly but most of the time this is not the case and the Network Share will fail to find files.

I think this is all driver related. Gargoyle GUI lists the Jmicron enclosure as generic. It shows differently to the other properly working drives. No exact drive model number for example. Just as with hdparm, this drive isn't being read properly and has missing much information. Amazing that it actually works at all.

Does anyone have any ideas for solving this problem? USB Storage Driver updates maybe? I have the latest v18.06 installed already. Can't use my NAS with this spin up sleep issue. Any help appreciated. Much thanks.

The USB 3.0 port gets 110mb/s reads and 90-100mb/s writes so I think that part of things are working properly. The issue is the lack of proper spin down and spin back up from sleep. Not much fun when you click on the drives and they won't power up properly and result in Network time outs or blank folder listings.

Have spent more time on the issue and found a solution. If I use hd-idle to spin down the drives everything seems to work properly with the new Jmicron controllers. They spin down always correctly at the set time by hd-idle and then importantly spin back up again when requested on the network.

To get the latest driver, including Windows 11 drivers, you can choose from the above list of most popular JMicron downloads. Click the "Download driver" button next to the matching model name. After you complete your download, move on to Step 2.

If your driver is not listed and you know the model name or number of your JMicron device, you can use it to search our driver archive for your JMicron device model. Simply type the model name and/or number into the search box and click the Search button. You may see different versions in the results. Choose the best match for your PC and operating system.

If you don't know the model name or number, you can start to narrow your search down by choosing which category of JMicron device you have (such as Printer, Scanner, Video, Network, etc.). Start by selecting the correct category from our list of JMicron Device Drivers by Category above.

Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.

Maybe this is a dump comment, but one has to install the sata-hat software (as mentioned on the wiki) before updating the firmware. Maybe it is obvious to every buddy else but it took a minute for me to realize this.

After the installation (ATTENTION update python setuptools manually before the installation!) I have succesfully updated the firmware.

Hello. The install script will check the name of /etc/os-release and if the name is not in the known list, it will say not supported. I first heard about OSMC and have not tested it, so it is not on the list. You can download this file (raspbian.sh) manually and install it.

I just found that somebody earlier mentioned JMS551, today I reassembled whole sata HAT and found out that chip is labelled as JMS561, but lsusb reports JMS551. Is it something to worry about or are they the same?

Every since then, the hat reports no problems and I could finally copy more than 100GB in one session.

I suspect it was the UAS fix that did the trick.

Maybe the firmware fixes your problems too.

Also make sure to disable S.M.A.R.T. due to incompatibility with UAS.

raidz on all 4 disks. When doing a rsync to that zpool the disks would disconnect and I would have to reboot: zfs does not want to restore the zpool even when the disks come back online.

When I limited the rsync throughput to 30MB/s the disks were fine and would not disconnect.

edit: and the disks disconnected again after 302GB. It looked so good. I even upgraded debian while running the rsync and all went fine for a while.

Now updated jmicron fw to v8.1.3.6. Lets see how it holds up

JMicron began developing SSD technology in 2006, launching their first generation SSD controller, the JMF601A/602A, towards the end of 2007. JMicron's SSD controller was widely adopted by many SSD manufacturers such ASUS, Corsair,[3] OCZ, and Transcend. JMicron was one of the first[4] companies to provide an SSD controller chip to these companies, allowing them to produce reasonably priced SSDs. Unfortunately the SSD controller did not have any support for DRAM cache, and with the NAND technology available at the time this made random writes very slow (the JMF602B improved this only slightly). [1]

Also in 2008, JMicron showcased a number of peripheral products. This includes the JMB353, a hi-speed USB & IEEE 1394a to SATA II external HDD controller chip; this device was the first to feature an integrated IEEE 1394a PHY chip. Also included in the showcase is the JMB38x series, a PCIe to card reader & 1394 controller chip, the JMB211, a Gigabit Ethernet PHY controller chip, the JMB352, a high-speed USB & eSATA to 2-port SATA II external HDD controller chip, and the JMB325, a 1- to 5-port SATA II port multiplier with hardware RAID.[5]
