apps	Hotswap support in file browser: Don't reload the root dir if not in the root and the current path is still valid.	2005-05-05 00:27:41 +00:00
bootloader	Ooops. DRAM can't start at 0x30000000 on iRiver	2005-04-20 06:48:17 +00:00
CVSROOT	Added fonts	2005-03-18 12:50:56 +00:00
docs	Tapio Karppinen's finnish translation	2005-05-02 21:03:03 +00:00
firmware	Improved bitfield handling for settings and MMC (more straigtforward, smaller code). This switches the order for fields crossing a longword boundary, so the config block version bump is necessary. Save your settings to a file before upgrading.	2005-05-04 22:30:36 +00:00
flash	now can compose images with ROMbox, too	2004-12-23 20:15:13 +00:00
fonts	I'll commit a working version now, then...	2005-04-15 01:03:00 +00:00
gdb	Port A inits for cold-start capability	2003-06-29 21:57:20 +00:00
tools	Changed Miika's open() and write() to fopen() and fwrite() the old way was causing some troubles with filepermissions. Please test on linux, and check if the file has normal permissions.	2005-05-02 23:50:43 +00:00
uisimulator	More audio code restructuring, mostly renaming functions so far	2005-04-04 12:06:29 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from CVS (or extract a downloaded archive). You
   want to check out 'rockbox-devel' instead if you want the simulator
   code too (for trying out things on host before making target tests).

   (For more information about the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.)

   $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox login 
   $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox

     or

   $ tar xzf rockbox.tar.gz

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

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. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you
   have 'perl' in your PATH too.

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

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

   $ make

8. Copy the archos.mod or ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and
   *smile*.  Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox
   version and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version.

   $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos
   $ cp ajbrec.ajz /mnt/archos
   $ umount /mnt/archos

Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile
updated too by running 'tools/configure update'.

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
