Is there a way where I can grab OEM and other information from /dev/sdc1? It seems like most information can be extracted from /dev/mmc,,./devices*. I was wondering if I could extract the same information from sdc1?

Not that I know of (but I really hope someone can prove me wrong).

There exist some USB SD card readers that will show up as mmc devices (they have mmc drivers in the kernel), such as the Elan Digital VUB300 chip. Using something like that, you should be able to extract the data you want. Most USB SD card readers just show up as SCSI devices (/dev/sd).

The VUB300 eval board [1] isn't cheap, but might be worth buying. I don't know of any commercially available card readers using this chip.

If you can extract the OEM and other information from any computer with an mmc device, you can still do the other flashbench testing on any card reader, it doesn't have to all be done on one computer.
