bootloader Gigabeat S memory management stuff. 2007-12-23 12:19:40 +00:00
docs Accept and Fix FS#8427 - problem with empty screens in lists with pages scrolling enabled 2008-01-08 08:12:32 +00:00
firmware Add the viewport functions to the screens API, including a new getfont() function to return the font used by the current viewport. A change to the screens API makes the plugin API incompatible, so we bump version and sort. Also commit the test_viewports plugin (not built by default). This is some more of FS#8385. 2008-01-08 01:22:14 +00:00

uisimulator Initial WVS for mpegplayer. Adjusts to the user's preferred font and uses FF/RW preferences set for playback. Picked a random color for the base WVS color but it could be configured. Some engine tweaks to accomodate it since certain nescessities are clearer now. Fix a clipped YUV output bug in the SIM. 2008-01-03 17:14:28 +00:00
utils Firmware update utility for the Gigabeat S and probably other MTP devices. Based on libmtp's sendfile.c example, tweaked by Maurus Cuelenaere and me to send firmware files. 2007-11-22 18:07:40 +00:00
wps Add greyscales to Rockboxed theme and mimic the color variant a bit more. 2007-09-29 19:05:30 +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
