Milk-V Duo + USB&Ethernet IOB: How to turn on NTFS support

Duo
1

I use Milk-V Duo board with USB&Ethernet IOB board. I tried to connect USB Flash drive with NTFS into USB port. The mount process failed with error so I decided the reason is filesystem type - I formatted the USB Flash drive into FAT32 and after that it’s mounted successfuly. I use “Duo-V1.0.7” release of the image with python.

So the question is: how to turn on support of NTFS filesystem for USB Flash drives in system?

you will need to add specific ntfs kernel config options to the kernel config - cvitek_cv1800b_milkv_duo_sd_defconfig

for example in the duo sdk folder

make ARCH=riscv menuconfig

press “/”

search for ntfs

image
image1057×759 84.8 KB

this will list the names of the config entries you need to add the the
“cvitek_cv1800b_milkv_duo_sd_defconfig”

eg
CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y

you also need to ensure the dependencies are enabled

This doesn’t work for me:

~/milkv/duo-buildroot-sdk$ make ARCH=riscv menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target 'menuconfig'.  Stop.

Could you tell me how did you make it work?

Thank you, I added all flags to the config file. Now my USB-flash devices can be mounted, but still there are problems with it:

  1. USB-flash device mounts too much time (about 40 sec !!!)
  2. I can’t write anything into mounted device in spite of it’s mounted as R/W

There are some logs:

Any suggestions how to fix that?
