bootloader Commit FS#6929 - Gigabeat bootloader improvements by Barry Wardell and myself. This build fixes the problems seen with the latest builds on the Gigabeat X. Added View IO Ports under the Debug menu for the Gigabeat. Make sure you grab the latest bootloader from the Wiki as the old bootloader will not work properly with new builds. 2007-04-21 04:48:20 +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

manual VBRfix description, part 2: actually this note was way outdated. Files recorded with rockbox should contain the vbr header - the hint about using it on files with broken/missing headers in general is enough. 2007-05-07 10:50:08 +00:00

wps DancePuffDuo.wps and marquee.wps can use the nimbus-13 font now. Fixed the alignment issues that were there since the chicago-'12' font had been removed. 2007-05-05 10:05:14 +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*.

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
