The \playername{} has a builtin boot loader which performs the
|
|
|
|
firmware update, and can also access the hard drive via USB. Therefore the
|
2006-10-25 09:22:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Rockbox bootloader can be very minimalistic, without USB mode.
|
|
|
|
This also makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader, as you can
|
2007-03-19 19:03:25 +00:00
|
|
|
always restore it using the \playerman{} bootloader.

\note{The current bootloader is not prepared to coexist with the original
|
|
|
|
firmware. It replaces the original firmware.}
