Note that the software was no longer maintained. Discover that there is an old python server that could be installed that would allow file transfer but none of the nice things like Geotagging, etc.Wikipedia search – I always tend to start there for unbiased and relatively recent information and resources.Well to be honest Eye-Fi has documented parts of their protocol which has allowed the community the chance to build some basic software that does parts of what the commercial software does. Sadly our story continues into Linux-ville, where the card is only supported through community efforts fighting against the manufacturer as they change their APIs and how they upload images without any documentation to speak of. If I wanted to store my pictures on a computer, and the computer was a Mac or Windows this would be awesome place to leave off. A nice final touch is there is an icon on the camera itself that shows when things are uploading.Īll in all a very smooth experience.

Start to install the software needed directly from the SD Card – nice touch!.On a MAC I did the following to get this working: Great concept! It is supported on Windows and Mac, so let’s see what that really means. It has the ability to connect to wireless networks and upload the pictures on the camera to some other storage like a computer or server. The Eye-Fi card is an SD Card that also contains a wireless adapter.

The hoops I had to jump through are documented here for later reading, but also as a demonstration of what I mean when I say Linux will only be ready for the masses when the hardware supports it.
