\warn{Before starting this procedure, ensure that you have a copy
|
|
of the original \playerman{} firmware. Without this, it is
|
|
\emph{not} possible to uninstall Rockbox. The \playerman{}
|
|
firmware can be downloaded from
|
|
\url{http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/firmware/MESV12US.zip}.\\}
|
|
|
|
Installing the bootloader is only needed once. It involves replacing the
|
|
existing firmware file on your \dap{} with another version.
|
|
When running the original \playerman{} firmware (a version of Windows CE), it is
|
|
only possible to connect the \dap{} to a PC in ``MTP mode'', which hides
|
|
the actual content of your \daps{} disk and provides restricted access
|
|
to its contents.
|
|
In reality, the \daps{} hard disk contains two partitions, a small
|
|
(150MB) ``firmware partition'' containing the \daps{} firmware (operating
|
|
system), and a second ``data partition'' containing your media files. The main
|
|
firmware file in the bootloader partition is called \fname{nk.bin}, and
|
|
this is the file that is loaded into RAM (by the \daps{} ROM-based
|
|
bootloader) and executed when your \dap{} is powered on.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\item Attach your \dap{} to your computer.
|
|
|
|
\item Download \fname{beastpatcher.exe} from
|
|
\fixme{add download location}
|
|
and run it.
|
|
|
|
\item You should see some information displayed about
|
|
your \dap{} and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox
|
|
bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and beastpatcher will
|
|
install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message
|
|
``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully'' followed by some error
|
|
messages that you can safely ignore. Press ENTER again to exit
|
|
beastpatcher.
|
|
|
|
\item After a successful installation, your \dap{} will immediately turn off.
|
|
Turn it on again, and (because it is still connected to your PC)
|
|
it will enter the Rockbox bootloader's
|
|
``USB Mass Storage'' mode, which exposes your \daps{} disk to your computer
|
|
as a standard USB Mass Storage device.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X}
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Attach your \dap{} to your computer.
|
|
|
|
\item Download and open beastpatcher.dmg from
|
|
\fixme{add download location}
|
|
and then double-click on the beastpatcher icon inside. You can also
|
|
drag the beastpatcher icon to a location on your hard drive and launch
|
|
it from the Terminal.
|
|
|
|
\item If all has gone well, you should see some
|
|
information displayed about your \dap{} and a message asking you if you
|
|
wish to install the Rockbox bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and
|
|
beastpatcher will now install the bootloader. After a short time you
|
|
should see the message ``[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully''
|
|
followed by some error messages that you can safely ignore. Press
|
|
ENTER again to exit beastpatcher and then quit the Terminal application.
|
|
|
|
\item After a successful installation, your \dap{} will immediately turn off.
|
|
Turn it on again, and (because it is still connected to your Mac)
|
|
it will enter the Rockbox bootloader's
|
|
``USB Mass Storage'' mode, which exposes your \daps{} disk to your computer
|
|
as a standard USB Mass Storage device.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Linux}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\item Download beastpatcher from
|
|
\fixme{add download location} (32-bit x86
|
|
binary) or \fixme{add download location}
|
|
(64-bit amd64 binary). You can save this anywhere you wish, but the next
|
|
steps will assume you have saved it in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
\item Attach your \dap{} to your computer.
|
|
|
|
\item Open up a terminal window and type the following commands:
|
|
|
|
\begin{code}
|
|
cd $HOME
|
|
chmod +x beastpatcher
|
|
./beastpatcher
|
|
\end{code}
|
|
|
|
\item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about
|
|
your \dap{} and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox
|
|
bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and beastpatcher will now install the
|
|
bootloader. After a short time you should see the message ``[INFO] Bootloader
|
|
installed successfully'' followed by some error
|
|
messages that you can safely ignore. Press ENTER again to exit beastpatcher.
|
|
|
|
\item After a successful installation, your \dap{} will immediately turn off.
|
|
Turn it on again, and (because it is still connected to your PC)
|
|
it will enter the Rockbox bootloader's
|
|
``USB Mass Storage'' mode, which exposes your \daps{} disk to your computer
|
|
as a standard USB Mass Storage device.
|
