RealtekCardReader RTS5287 support

Hello there, I have an RTS5287 (aka RTL8411B) card reader, and I can't get it to work at all. Reading the known issues page, I've seen that the device is almost "killed" since the start. Is there anything I could do/provide to help enabling it? An IOReg maybe?

Thank you!

Please provide the kernel log as per FAQs.

Here you are:

❯ kextstat | grep rtsx 86 0 0 0x106000 0x106000 science.firewolf.rtsx (0.9.6) 896FEAB9-732E-3779-B18D-F714BF427168 <33 24 16 6 3>

❯ sudo dmesg | grep "rtsx" [ 110.846934]: successfully parsed 1/4 entries for file rtsx.logIOConsoleUsers: time(0) 0->0, lin 1, llk 0,

Those are the only things I could achieve right now. The "kernel log" with the command sudo dmesg | grep RTSX > ~/Desktop/rtsx.log just returns an empty log file. Used the 0.9.6 DEBUG version + these boot arguments: -wegnoegpu igfxonln=1 brcmfx-country=#a alcid=13 msgbuf=10485760.

Tried the latest artifact, with RealtekCardReaderFriend the PCIe card reader is detected under System Informations / Card Readers, though still no useful dmesg available. Anything else I can do?

@Giovix92 you forgot to use the DEBUG version of the kext

@0xFireWolf Attached is the dump of my machine running Mojave 10.14.6. Steps to reproduce:

Boot up/log in w/o SD card
Insert SD card
Eject SD card

Output from sysreport:

Built in SD Card Reader:

  Vendor ID:	0x10ec
  Device ID:	0x5287
  Subsystem Vendor ID:	0x1025
  Subsystem ID:	0x1094
  Revision:	0x0001
  Link Width:	x1
  Link Speed:	2.5 GT/s

As a quick note: this reader is "functional" with the classic Sinetek-rtsx kext, if that helps you in any form.

If you need any more info let me know rtsx.log

As I've stated in a previous reply, I actually did use the DEBUG version, since it was pointed out on the FAQs, plus I did put the msgbuf boot argument. I'm running Monterey 12.1, by the way.

I'm getting the same sysreport result, just no dmesg log.

~~I have these sysargs in my boot parameters (OpenCore). Maybe "debug" will do it for you?~~

~~keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 swd_panic=1 ~~

EDIT: Ignore this. Not relevant for your problem
