preferred installation method, and don't have important information only under manual install. For now retain manual install as a subsection. Patch originally in FS#9895 git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@20034 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

The \playername{} has a built-in bootloader which performs the
|
|
firmware update and can also access the hard drive via USB. The
|
|
Rockbox bootloader can therefore be very minimalistic, as it does not require
|
|
it's own USB mode. This makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader
|
|
as you can always restore it using the \playerman{} bootloader.
|
|
|
|
\note{The Rockbox bootloader overwrites the original firmware, making it
|
|
impossible to dual-boot.}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Installation}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Download the Rockbox bootloader binary from
|
|

|
|
\opt{x5}{Use the \fname{x5v\_fw.bin} file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5
|
|

|
|
