How to detect details of MicroSD Card in a Combo Card Reader

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
I have a Silicon Power Combo Card Reader and when I plugged an ADATA MicroSD Card into it, then I just see the details of Combo Card Reader and not MicroSD Card! Any way to detect the details of MicroSD Card?

Have you checked

Code: Select all

lsblk

SD cards should show up as /dev/mmcblk0 (or so).

No:

lsusb only shows USB devices. The USB device is the card reader, not the SD card.
There are two kinds of SD card readers :
- those which advertise themselves as a SD card reader (/dev/mmcblk*)
- those which advertise themselves as a USB mass storage device (/dev/sd*)
Only the former may allow to see details of the SD card. The latter act more like a USB flash drive.

Thus, my Combo Card Reader can't show the details of MicroSD Card?

Check dmesg after the SD card is inserted, that should show if the kernel detects it.
