Miika Pekkarinen a85044bf9e New scheduler, with priorities for swcodec platforms. Frequent task
switching should be more efficient and tasks are stored in linked
lists to eliminate unnecessary task switching to improve performance.
Audio should no longer skip on swcodec targets caused by too CPU
hungry UI thread or background threads.

docs Fix display bugs with H10 LCDs (both 20GB and 5/6GB models). The 20GB LCD is actually a 128x160 LCD rotated 90 degrees, so we need to take account of this. The 5/6GB LCD is not rotated by 90 degrees but was treated as if it was (FS #5925, patch thanks to Thilo-Alexander Ginkel) 2006-09-04 23:10:27 +00:00

flash Work-in-progress rework of charging status reading & display: * Changed several charging related HAVE_* macros into one multi-value CONFIG_CHARGING. * Always use proper macros for charging states. * Battery symbol charging animation now starts from current level on all targets with charging. Two-colour animation kept for non-b&w targets. Round down fill level while charging as before, but round to nearest pixel value for discharging on all targets. * Charging anim fixed on player. * Some code cleanup. 2006-06-06 22:23:52 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from CVS (or extract a downloaded archive). You
   want to check out 'rockbox-devel' instead if you want the simulator
   code too (for trying out things on host before making target tests).

   (For more information about the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.)

   $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox login 
   $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox

     or

   $ tar xzf rockbox.tar.gz

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

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. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you
   have 'perl' in your PATH too.

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

7. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make

8. Copy the archos.mod or ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and
   *smile*.  Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox
   version and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version.

   $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos
   $ cp ajbrec.ajz /mnt/archos
   $ umount /mnt/archos

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
