Here is what I have found works in VMWare Fusion 8.1.1 on
a MacBookPro11,3 with 10.11.5

With VMWare Fusion and guest OS up and running.

1) Lock the SD card

2) Insert SD card into Mac

3) Eject SD card from Mac side

4) Remove SD Card

5) Connect SD card reader to Fusion in USB settings

6) Unlock SD card and insert back into Mac.

If using Windows 7, need to install the Intel USB 3 driver as no native support of USB 3 on Win 7. I think SD card reader on MacBook is USB 3.0 only and not backwards compatible.



Does "Pi Filler" work with Archlinux? http://ivanx.com/raspberrypi/
Same **** here.

Trying to prepare (fdisk, ext4 format...) and flash archlinux on an SD card for use with a raspberry pi 2.
No apparent other way to do so than use a liveCD.
Installed ubuntugnome 16.04 in vmware, installed vmware tools, all working fine appart from this damn internal sd card reader which won't mount in the VM.

Both types of errors which occur (in the console app) :

02/06/16 18:56:54,000 kernel[0]: 065103.372360 Card Reader@14700000: AppleUSBDevice::ResetDevice: <software attempt to RESET>

02/06/16 19:02:22,000 kernel[0]: USB device 05AC840614700000 - Apple, Card Reader - not found during wake up

tried to plugin/plugout/unmount the volume from the disk utility.

so i'm pretty much f*cked if i don't find another computer and run linux from it.
