2.0 Setup SD Card Reader

Manuel edited this page Oct 12, 2020 · 16 revisions

The SD-Card reader is not supported in macos. However with a bit of trickery we can make it work

It takes under 10 Seconds to mount your SD Card.

Status: Works is not polished. See Improvement/todo Section

Requirements on the mac

VMware Fusion Player or Pro Version. The Player is free.

Install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Install sshfs and Fuse:

brew cask install osxfuse

brew install sshfs

Make an mount dir.

sudo mkdir /Volumes/SD-CardReader

Change permission for sudo so you can execute stuff without password see here: https://www.robertshell.com/blog/2016/12/3/use-sudo-command-osx-without-password

Download my shit: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=11xkAnJwuklPlGwxkNIO4Kb_afzT-Sg1D&export=download

unzip it:

unzip Downloads/SD-Card-Reader-Deployment_v01.zip

Copy the SSH key for the VM into your .ssh folder:

cp SD-Card-Reader-Deployment_v01/tiny.key .ssh/ Copy the VM: cp -r SD-Card-Reader-Deployment_v01/Tiny.vmwarevm Virtual\ Machines.localized/ Copy the Script: cp SD-Card-Reader-Deployment_v01/sd-mount.sh .

How to use it:

Place SD Card into the SD Card Slot. Start: sd-mount.sh ./sd-mount.sh

Wait for like 10 Seconds till finder opens.
