RBM33G Memory Expansion MicroSD [SOLVED]

I'm using the RBM33G board and I'm needing to expand its memory. I see it has a microSD slot on the back. Yet, I've not been able to find any documentation on how to leverage it.

Anyone have any experience with using the microSD slot as part of the root file system?

Read the wiki about extroot and check in dmesg if the sd card is successfully detected when you insert it. If not, maybe some kernel modules need to be installed.

Thanks @trendy I've followed that one and many others to no avail...

The only documentation MikroTik provides:

Slot is on the bottom right.

Can you try with installing kmod-sdhci?

Only have 432.00 KB space left, the whole reason I'm trying to add the card :slight_smile:

I'll see what I can remove to free up space for both of these:

kmod-sdhci 4.14.63-1 20596 Kernel support for SDHCI Hosts
kmod-sdhci-mt7620 4.14.63-1 13571 MT7620 SDCI

Do you really need that?

kmod-usb-storage-uas - 4.9.152-1 - Say Y here if you want to include support for
 USB Attached SCSI (UAS/UASP), a higher
 performance protocol available on many
 newer USB 3.0 storage devices

Start from scratch (factory defaults), installing only the absolutely necessary packages to setup up the SD card. After you get it up and running you can install there everything else you have.

Think this is progress!

lsusb -t still shows nothing, however I don't think the microSD slot using USB. Not sure where to look for the drive, going cross-eyed been at the this all night :thinking:

Thanks @trendy!

AHH!!

Looks like you are good to go!
For future reference add here the modules that made it work.

If your problem is solved, feel free to mark the relevant post as the solution; and edit the title to add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning (click the pencil behind the topic).

There are two mount points? I'm assuming p1 is partition one. I recall reading the jffs is the best format for extroot. Agree?

mmcblk0p1 is the one you will use.
F2FS is recommended for flash type of storages, the alternative would be ext4.

mkfs.f2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1 away I go! Thanks again @trendy

Post once more the packages that you had to install to make it work for future reference!

Actually I just flashed and started over again, it turns out all I needed was
kmod-sdhci-mt7620 4.14.63-1 13571 MT7620 SDCI
Not kmod-sdhci 4.14.63-1 20596 Kernel support for SDHCI Hosts
