apps FS#8457 - convert the list drawing code to use viewports. This does not include any of the customizability which was in the patch, so unless any bugs show up users should not notice any difference. 2008-03-05 09:58:30 +00:00
backdrops Add backdrops/, icons/ and utils/ as well as some missing rwpses to the tarballs. 2008-01-23 23:31:04 +00:00
bootloader D2: Make lcd_init_device() actually turn on the LCD, in preparation for booting the main image. Previously this required an explicit lcd_enable(true). 2008-03-05 00:21:56 +00:00
docs removed FAQ, hopelessly outdated and better kept and maintained in the wiki 2008-03-01 00:36:08 +00:00
firmware Oops (from about 2 months ago) - implement viewport support in the Gigabeat F's asm-optimised lcd_bitmap_transparent_part() function. 2008-03-05 08:12:54 +00:00
flash Include some more stuff in the tarballs. 2007-09-04 21:53:33 +00:00
fonts Commit FS#8626 by Frank Otto. Fixes character glitch in helvR10. 2008-03-04 18:16:02 +00:00
gdb move the ifp7xx usb serial driver files to more specific names, to make the "usb_serial" name available for more general usb class driver use 2008-03-02 18:16:24 +00:00
icons Turned out that setting the viewer iconset to empty properly chooses the default iconset, and the problem with the default viewer iconset on greyscale targets was that there was a file too much in icons/. The defaults are copied from elsewhere, and differ between grey/mono and colour targets. The extraneous file overwrote the default when building the .zip. 2008-02-23 22:54:33 +00:00
manual document dual-boot feature on m:robe 100 2008-03-05 01:04:14 +00:00
rbutil rbuti: Ups, revert the Bootloader download URL. 2008-03-02 12:26:13 +00:00

uisimulator fix red 2 2008-03-02 22:00:39 +00:00
utils Oops, I should try compiling things before committing... 2008-02-23 20:50:26 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

     or

   $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
   toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
   $ cd build-fmrecorder
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-player
   $ cd build-player
   $ ../tools/configure
