Aidan MacDonald 4c60bc9e68 New port: Shanling Q1 native
- Audio playback works
- Touchscreen and buttons work
- Bootloader works and is capable of dual boot
- Plugins are working
- Cabbiev2 theme has been ported
- Stable for general usage

Thanks to Marc Aarts for porting Cabbiev2 and plugin bitmaps.

There's a few minor known issues:

- Bootloader must be installed manually using 'usbboot' as there is
  no support in jztool yet.

- Keymaps may be lacking, need further testing and feedback.

- Some plugins may not be fully adapted to the screen size and could
  benefit from further tweaking.

- LCD shows abnormal effects under some circumstances: for example,
  after viewing a mostly black screen an afterimage appears briefly
  when going back to a brightly-lit screen. Sudden power-off without
  proper shutdown of the backlight causes a "dissolving" effect.

- CW2015 battery reporting driver is buggy, and disabled for now.
  Battery reporting is currently voltage-based using the AXP192.

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/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 mips/m68k/arm-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 generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source.

   $ which arm-elf-eabi-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-fuzeplus
   $ cd build-fuzeplus
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-xduoox3
   $ cd build-xduoox3
   $ ../tools/configure
