apps Move some tables that aren't performance critical out of iram, const police 2007-10-17 18:23:34 +00:00
bootloader Turns out you can boot the main build by copying apps/rockbox.bin to /rockbox.mrboot. Something is wrong with the rockbox bootloader, but at least now we can work with the main build. Added in a warning for the core_sleep function 2007-10-17 05:19:20 +00:00
docs Add myself as maintainer for a couple of things. 2007-10-17 16:50:56 +00:00
firmware Coldfire: Partially revert buffered writes, and enable them explicitly for the LCD only. Turned out that with buffered writes enabled, reads after writes are not always serialized, which is a bad thing for I/O. Buffered writes to the LCD are safe because that's write-only. Fixes FS #7985. How come I didn't notice this earlier? :> 2007-10-17 20:45:13 +00:00
flash Include some more stuff in the tarballs. 2007-09-04 21:53:33 +00:00
fonts Fix width of the '1' and the '7', so that they have the same width as the other numerals and e.g. playing time in the wps doesn't wobble anymore. 2007-08-11 09:29:31 +00:00
gdb Include some more stuff in the tarballs. 2007-09-04 21:53:33 +00:00
manual Mandelbrot: make increasing/decreasing iterations on X5/M5 actually usable (the buttoncombo was not possible before) and add necessary _PRE definitions to the defines and the button loop to prevent repeating the event accidentally (on some targets there was no control about how many steps one actually zoomed out on one button 'press'). Update the menu accordingly and fill out the blanks... 2007-10-16 20:44:17 +00:00
rbutil When portable installation is finished set progress value to 100%. 2007-10-16 21:30:13 +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*.

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
