bootloader init spi and uart in the main build 2007-10-19 02:14:09 +00:00
docs Add myself as maintainer for a couple of things. 2007-10-17 16:50:56 +00:00
firmware Save a little space and only initialize the minimum for initial threads at startup. The BSS sections should already be zereod and if they're mistakenly not, be sure to crash ASAP. ;) 2007-10-19 11:51:45 +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 Chessbox: ported to c200, also simplify the tile size calculation (thanks to Jens). Just retrieve it from the assigned bmp (same as e.g. Sudoku does), so that there's no need to check for lcd resolution in two different places. Update the manual. 2007-10-19 09:05:18 +00:00
rbutil Small clarification. 2007-10-19 22:49:06 +00:00

uisimulator FS#7994 - Rename talk.c API, make talk_disable() affect all talking (not just menus), hopefully save some space. 2007-10-19 15:31:42 +00:00
utils/disassembler/arm FS#7182: Fix endianness bugs in ARM disassembler which made it report wrong addresses on PPC. 2007-08-01 22:25:18 +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
