Requesting a firmware with SDHC support for my card reader

Just sent the following support request to ENlight:

Hi,

I have an Enlight “8 in 4” Bay Reader for memory cards. The packaging says that the firmware of the reader is upgradable (“Current Firmware Rev 1.1”). However, I was unable to locate any firmware downloads from your website’s download section. I was thinking of upgrading the firmware, because with the current firmware, the reader cannot access my SDHC memory card.

Fingers crossed.

Compiling Miro 3.0.3 on Lucid

Not sure if all of the stuff I installed was necessary, but at least nothing required was missing when I did it like this. I’m writing this down from memory and not on-the-go, so there might be errors, but the idea is there.

  1. # apt-get install miro python python-pyrex \
    libboost-python-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
    libboost-date-time-dev libboost-thread-dev \
    libboost-serialization-dev python-gtk2-dev \
    python-gnome2-extras-dev libxine-dev chrpath \
    libxv-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dbus \
    python-gtk2 python-gnome2 libtorrent-rasterbar-dev \
    python-glade2 python-gst0.10 imagemagick libxine1-x \
    libxine1-plugins xulrunner-1.9 xulrunner-dev
  2. $ wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/src/Miro-3.0.3.tar.gz
  3. $ tar xvf Miro-3.0.3.tar.gz
  4. $ cd Miro-3.0.3/platform/gtk-x11
  5. $ ./run.sh
