apps Reorganise the wma_decode_superframe() function - split into a separate init and decode functions. Each call to the decode function now decodes a single frame (2048 samples) instead of an entire superframe (which typically contained about 7 or 8 frames and can in theory contain up to 16 frames). This allows us to replace the 256KB output buffer with a 8KB buffer, and also perform more yields in the main decoding loop. 2007-07-09 17:24:00 +00:00

tools Initial, work-in-progress, version of a WMA codec using Michael Giacomelli's fixed-point and malloc-less WMA decoder (based on the ffmpeg WMA decoder from early 2006, and also building on the work started by Paul Jones). The codec itself and the ASF parsing code were written by me, inspired by the ASF parser in libasf. Current performance is around 400% realtime on gigabeat, 100% realtime on PP and 20% realtime on Coldfire. 2007-07-03 09:25:36 +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
