Antoine Cellerier 45cfca85c5 Yet some more optimisation and recorder/ondio related bug fixing for Xobox. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@13576 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657		2007-06-06 20:48:01 +00:00
apps	Yet some more optimisation and recorder/ondio related bug fixing for Xobox.	2007-06-06 20:48:01 +00:00
bootloader	Bring back rolo for mi4-based targets (H10 and Sansa).	2007-06-04 13:48:21 +00:00
docs	language fix	2007-06-06 20:31:36 +00:00
firmware	Accept FS#7178 - Sansa e200 FM tuner support by Ivan Zupan. Do the needed integration work into recording and the AS3514 audio driver. Do a little AS3514 fiq_record tweak to have it all work nicely from the start.	2007-06-06 19:23:48 +00:00
flash	Now charcell displays require lcd_update() for updating the main lcd content like bitmap displays.	2007-04-06 22:55:00 +00:00
fonts	Additions to the nimbus font family: nimbus-13 made from nimbus-12 with additional spacing, initial commit of nimbus-10 and nimbus-11 (hopefully meeting the style of the other fonts enough) - feel free to improve.	2007-05-05 10:01:13 +00:00
gdb	Adapted more Makefiles to the more efficient info printing.	2006-10-30 01:40:20 +00:00
manual	Update the description of the %fc audio codec enumeration	2007-06-05 18:49:00 +00:00
rbutil	Add --write-embedded (-we) option. This replaces the Apple firmware with the bootloader embedded in ipodpatcher (equivalent to -wf bootloader-ipodxxx.ipod when using an external bootloader).	2007-06-02 10:10:31 +00:00
tools	Initial commit of Monkey's Audio (.ape/.mac) support. Note that Monkey's is an extremely CPU-intensive codec, and that the decoding speed is directly related to the compression level (-c1000, -c2000, -c3000, -c4000 or -c5000) used when encoding the file. Current performance is: -c1000 to -c3000 are realtime on a Gigabeat, -c1000 is realtime on Coldfire targets (H100, H300 and Cowon), and nothing is realtime on PortalPlayer targets (iPods, H10, Sansa). Hopefully this can be improved. More information at FS #7256 .	2007-06-05 16:58:29 +00:00
uisimulator	As ususual, fix the sim errors.	2007-06-06 19:39:59 +00:00
wps	iCatcher updates: 1) Add APE icon for Monkey's Audio files; 2) Use a backdrop on greyscale targets to free some image tags (thanks to Marianne Arnold for the suggestion). However, there are still five codecs without icons (SID, ADX, NSF, Speex and SPC), and only two free image slots left...	2007-06-06 17:53:33 +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
