Well, indeed I made provisions for it to work, even not providing a EXI ID :).
The EXI framework will report a fake EXI ID of 0xfffffffe (EXI_ID_NONE) for
"cards" inserted in memcard slots but not reporting EXI IDs (ie, non memcards,
like the SD/MMC cards).
EXI drivers written for this kind of cards, use the EXI_ID_NONE in their eids to
instruct the EXI framework to match only against channel/device instead of EXI
ID/channel/device. The driver's probe function must too accept the device.
So detection of MMC/SD cards (insertion, removal) is already supported.
I have the intention to write a MMC (and SD) driver for the cube, using the
native Linux MMC framework (which I need to modify a bit first).
But the latest DVD related events got my attention...
Cheers,
Albert
