\opt{e200}{\fixme{NOTE: These instructions will not work on the
|
|
``Rhapsody'' version of the E200 series (also known as E200R). Please
|
|
follow the instructions at
|
|
\url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation}.}}
|
|
|
|
In order to make your \playertype{} 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.
|
|
|
|
These steps use the sansapatcher tool. Source code is available in the Rockbox
|
|
SVN repository (\url{http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rbutil/sansapatcher/}).
