% $Id$ % \opt{ipodnano}{\warn{If your Nano has a stainless steel back and plastic front it is a 1st generation and is compatible with Rockbox. If, on the other hand, your Nano has a one-piece aluminum body it is a 2nd generation Nano and there is currently no Rockbox port available. Do not attempt to install the bootloader on a 2nd generation Nano}} In order to make your iPod load and execute the Rockbox firmware you have just installed, you will need to install the Rockbox bootloader. Unless bugs are found in the bootloader code, or significant new feature are added, you will only have to perform this step once. \subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Windows} \begin{enumerate} \item Make sure you are logged into your computer as Administrator, or a user with Administrator privileges and connect your \dap{}. \item Download ipodpatcher.exe from \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/win32/ipodpatcher.exe} and run it. \item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about your ipod and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and ipodpatcher will now install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message ``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully.'' Press ENTER again to exit ipodpatcher. \item Make sure that you have correctly extracted a build of Rockbox so that you have a \fname{/.rockbox}, which contains all the files needed by Rockbox in the root of your \daps{} drive and that you have also installed the fonts package -- see \reference{sec:installing_firmware} for more information. \item Disconnect your \dap{} in the usual way. The bootloader is now installed. \end{enumerate} \subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X} \begin{enumerate} \item Attach your \dap{} to your Mac and wait for its icon to appear in Finder. If you have configured itunes to open automatically when your \dap{} is attached (the default behaviour), then wait for it to open and then quit it. You also need to ensure the ``Enable use as disk'' option is enabled for your \dap{} in itunes. \item\label{subsec:macos_umount} Open up Disk Utility (in Applications $\rightarrow$ Utilities) and click on the name of your \dap{} (e.g. DAVES IPOD) in the list on the left pane. Then click on the ``unmount'' icon at the top. \warn{Do \emph{not} click on the ``eject'' icon.} \item Download and open ipodpatcher.dmg from \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/macosx/ipodpatcher.dmg} and then double-click on the ipodpatcher icon inside. \item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about your \dap{} and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and ipodpatcher will now install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message ``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully.'' Press ENTER again to exit ipodpatcher and then quit the Terminal application. \item \warn{If you received a ``Resource busy'' error from ipodpatcher, then this means you didn't complete step \ref{subsec:macos_umount}. Go back to Disk Utility, unmount your \dap{} and then run ipodpatcher again.} \item Your \dap{} will now automatically reconnect itself to your Mac. Wait for it to connect, and then eject and unplug it in the normal way. \note{You should unplug your ipod immediately after ejecting it to prevent Rockbox immediately rebooting your \dap{} into disk mode when it detects that your \dap{} is attached to a computer. } \item Make sure that you have correctly extracted a build of Rockbox so that you have a \fname{/.rockbox}, which contains all the files needed by Rockbox in the root of your \daps{} drive and that you have also installed the fonts package -- see \reference{sec:installing_firmware} for more information. \end{enumerate} \subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Linux} \begin{enumerate} \item Download ipodpatcher from \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/linux32x86/ipodpatcher} (32-bit x86 binary) or \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/linux64amd64/ipodpatcher} (64-bit amd64 binary). You can save this anywhere you wish, but the next steps will assume you've saved it in your home directory. \item Attach your \dap{} to your computer. \item Open up a terminal window and type the following commands: \begin{code} cd $HOME chmod +x ipodpatcher ./ipodpatcher \end{code} \warn{You may need to be the root user in order for ipodpatcher to have sufficient permission to perform raw disk access to your \dap{}.} \item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about your ipod and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and ipodpatcher will now install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message ``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully.'' Press ENTER again to exit ipodpatcher. \item Make sure that you have correctly extracted a build of Rockbox so that you have a \fname{/.rockbox}, which contains all the files needed by Rockbox in the root of your \daps{} drive and that you have also installed the fonts package -- see \reference{sec:installing_firmware} for more information. \item Disconnect your \dap{} in the usual way. The bootloader is now installed. \end{enumerate}
