# RTS5129/RTS5139
## Overview
This is a temporary fix for RTS5129/RTS5139 USB MMC card reader on Linux 3.16+ kernels.
This ocurred during a transition from ```3.15``` to ```3.16``` kernel, as a result of the ```staging/rts5139``` driver (which worked with the RTS5129/RTS5139) being replaced by the newer ```rtsx``` driver (which does not work with the RTS5129/RTS5139). This project reverts back to the old drivers as a temporary measure to get things up and running again.
## Requirements
- make
- gcc
- linux-headers
## Building
1. Checkout, build and install the replacement driver.
```
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/aurorafossorg/rts5139.git
cd rts5139
make
sudo make install
```
2. Blacklist the problematic modules by adding `blacklist-rts5139.conf`, `blacklist-rts5139-dkms.conf`, or this to `/etc/modprobe.d/`:
```
blacklist rtsx_usb_sdmmc
blacklist rtsx_usb_ms
blacklist rtsx_usb
```
3. Then, make sure you generate modules.dep and map files.
```
sudo depmod -a
```
4. Finally, disable module autoloading (and, optionally, also in the initial RAM filesystem)
5. Blacklist rtsx mmc modules via kernel parameters.
6. If wanted/needed, update the initramfs.
7. Reboot, and check to see if the card reader works.
