DM355 USB Drive Automounting

These commands must be executed while logged in as root from the serial console of the DM355 EVM. These commands can be performed by selecting all the text in the blue box and pasting it into the terminal program. Alternatively, a line at a time may be selected and pasted.

This creates the udev rule that identifies a USB drive with the words "Flash Disk" in the product string, and causes the script /etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev to be executed to mount or unmount the drive.

Code: Creating /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules

echo 'BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sda1", SYSFS{product}=="Flash Disk", NAME="usb/flashdisk"' >/etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules echo 'BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sda1", SYSFS{product}=="*Cruzer*", NAME="usb/flashdisk"' >>/etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules echo 'BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sda1", SYSFS{product}=="Flashdrive*", NAME="usb/flashdisk"' >>/etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules

Sometimes the SYSFS{product} string will not contain the pattern Flash Disk. You can determine the product string by looking at the output of the following command. See here for udev pattern matching rules.

Code: Determining product identifier string

udevinfo -a -p /block/sda/sda1

This creates the script that actually does the mounting or unmounting, based on the passed argument.

Code: Creating /etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev

echo '#!/bin/sh' >/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev echo 'if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ] ; then' >>/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev echo ' /bin/mount /mnt/usb' >>/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev echo 'elif [ "$ACTION" = "remove" ] ; then' >>/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev echo ' /bin/umount /mnt/usb' >>/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev echo 'fi' >>/etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev chmod 755 /etc/dev.d/usb/flashdisk.dev

This line must be added to /etc/fstab to mount the USB drive at /mnt/usb. Use 'cat /etc/fstab' to make sure the line is not already present in the file.

Code: Addition to /etc/fstab

echo '/dev/usb/flashdisk /mnt/usb auto auto,ro 0 0' >>/etc/fstab
