The original source code for the MMC drivers that were released for the LX were not completed but lucky for us there was a patch included that finishes them to a usable state.

Here are the files you will need (Located on Moogle's server for now) mmc_patch_Kconfig.patch mmc_patch_lf1000-sdio.patch

to apply these patches just copy them to /drivers/mmc/host/ and type the fallowing

patch lf1000_mmc.c < mmc_patch_lf1000-sdio.patch
patch Kconfig < mmc_patch_Kconfig.patch

now when you do a make menuconfig build the MMC drivers as modules then

make -j Number of cpu cores+1  
sudo make modules_install

and your modules will be in /lib/modules/2.6.31-leapfrog on your system ready for you to copy them over

it is best to copy them to /lib/modules/2.6.31-leapfrog/kernel/drivers/mmc/

when you want to mount a card simply

modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.31-leapfrog/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/lf1000_mmc.ko
modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.31-leapfrog/kernel/drivers/mmc/card/mmc_block.ko

you will then see something like the fallowing

mmcblk0: mmc0:0002 00000 3.82 GiB
mmcblk0:
p1

to mount the card type

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt

and you have access to the files on your micro sd card now in the /mnt directory

to unmount the card simply type

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

Notice: Hot swapping is not supported yet and may lead to data loss in the event that the card is not unmounted before it is removed.
