    Hi!
    I'm using PQI 64 meg compact flash. I have 2 partitions created according Card Engine document. First partition is the Linux type, second fat16 type with all necessary files copied on those partitions. After that I truing to run mount command and I'm getting back error:

    losh> mount fatfs /f
    fatfs_init: ata_read failed (0x80).

    Any help will be appreciated

    Thanks,
    Alexander

    Hello Ra0ans1,

    Thanks for your question.

    I am wondering if it is the formating or the CF card itself that is to blame.

    Reformat the entire card to FAT16 and see if the 'mount' command will work. If it works then the CF card isn't being formatted correctly, perhaps it was pulled out of the reader early (before being unmounted properly). If it doesn't work then the CF card itself is to blame. If this is the case I would try another brand. Logic has had very reliable results with Sandisk.

    Logic has designed and verified the CF memory-mode only slot on the SDK to meet CF timing requirements. Unfortunately CF cards vary slightly by manufacturer and we have found certain manufacturer's products to be incompatible with our kits.

    Best Regards,
