In order to make your e200 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/}).
