bootloader Get the M:Robe 500 main build booting again, fix a bug and commit the rest of Cat's work to get sound working. The code is messy right now, but it plays a file (test.raw) in a normal build when you go into the debug ports screen. Take 1. 2009-02-26 21:24:40 +00:00
docs Update German translation: add missing strings, improve wording in a few phrases and some cosmetic changes (whitespace and consistent case). Taken from FS#9754 but leaving out some changes which that didn't feel right to me for the moment. Add Johannes Linke to the credits for his work. 2009-03-09 22:06:12 +00:00
firmware Sound working with rockbox PCM interface on the M:Robe 500. Doom and Rockboy run with sound. There are stability problems that need to be looked into causing the player to reset when music playback is attempted. 2009-03-11 01:18:23 +00:00
flash Simplify powermgmt thread loops so it calls functions turn (no more power_thread_sleep). Do other target-friendly simplifications, generic battery switch handling and split sim-specific code. Whoever can, please verify charging on the Archos Recorder (due to change in the charger duty cycle code). 2008-12-24 16:58:41 +00:00

rbutil The credits file is utf-8 but QTextStream defaults to the system locale codec. Explicitly use utf-8 when reading the credits. Fixes names containing non-ASCII characters getting displayed wrong. 2009-03-08 18:53:32 +00:00
tools Don't rebuild the dependency file on 'make reconf'. Build type and target won't change, and there are some build types where the .dep file isn't needed at all, e.g. voice. 2009-03-10 19:06:14 +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*.

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
